Thoughts on the Wawario and Wawaluigi meme?

[CM30]

You've probably seen these bizarre off-brand versions of Wario and Waluigi going around, and even treated like semi-canonical characters:

So, what are your thoughts on this? Are you fond of their designs and weirdness? Or do you find this meme annoying or lame?

Ohhh, look who came crawling out of his castle. WAAARIO! I’d recognize that stupid moustache and the smell of raw garlic anywhere, even though a screen.

“Bizarre”?! Who you calling bizarre?! Garlic-eating coward!

And my meme is annoying, too?! WAAAH!

Keep scrolling, Wario. Maybe one day you'll stop seeing my nose in your cereal.

ITSA GOOOOO!

I actually was on that Wawario shit during 2023. I even have some images from before GAMECUBian deactivated his account on DeviantArt and his bio. Wawario was made based on Wawaluigi, who showed up in the Dorkly video called Luigi Meets Waluigi.

Wawario is worst than Wario! Wawario used to be a lumberjack but was put out of business thanks to Wario in Wario Land and in Wario World. In Wario World, while Wario was fighting enemies in the woods, some trees fell because Wario was either punching or just being Wario... Wawario had no more trees to cut down, so...

"Thanks a lot buster!" - Wawario, angry at Wario for knocking his trees down.

Got any more wawa-lore? The music video was just taken off YouTube. We need a wawa scholar to save this for the history books!

Not gonna lie, it made me laugh a bit to see that the last post about Wawario was from a user named Wawario with an icon of said character...

Unfortunately, I didn't have have the sense to save the videos. Those ones are 100% lost, but I remember one where Wawario steals an orange GameCube from a Best Buy, if I recall correctly. That video has the wonderful line of "*Wawario cons cashier*". I do have a snippet from the end, which shows Wawario's house after he steals the orange GameCube.

There was also one of a Roblox model GAMECUBian made of Wawario, and another with voice clips for Wawario, which were just Wario's voice clips pitched down and having the "wa" repeated in any lines that had his name. Such as "I'm-a WaWario! I'm-a gonna win!"

Also will include the full version of this image because I realized I had put a screenshot for it instead of the full thing.

My Wawario/Wawaluigi downloads folder is mostly music videos from YouTube and X, plus a random assortment of all the pictures I can find on X saved to my phone.

I've never seen that old stuff you shared. It's a wah-ing shame that so much of the early stuff is Lost Media™.

Have you come across the Wawario Super Smash Bros Ultimate mod? It swaps Wario out for Wawario, and there's a Wawaluigi mod too, but that one's a pain to get working.

If you care enough about this handsome plumber, maybe we could combine our collections, whatever they turn out to be, into one somehow? I don't want this meme to be forgotten. They are the 5th and 6th plumbers, after all.

Obviously, you may save any of the images I sent for your collection because I didn't make them haha

It is kind of a shame so much about Wawario has been lost though, I think the design is unironically very interesting.

Also as a footnote, apparently GAMECUBian did make a fucking WAWAWARIO. So we have a 7th and 8th plumber...

As for the mods, I've actually never seen them because I'm terrible with modding anything, but it's amazing they exist

I'm so sorry, Wawaluigi.
