MEDINA, Ohio — Feeling creatively drained from years of theory videos, YouTuber Mathew Patrick, better known by the moniker MatPat, delivered a lazy new game theory today that suggests Mario and Luigi might be related.
“What if…I don’t know…Mario and Luigi could be brothers or something?” an exhausted MatPat lazily suggested in a recent ten-minute theory video. “They seem pretty chill with each other. Maybe they are brothers or cousins or something? Sure, that could be true. What do you want from me? Whatever, Mario and Luigi are also in Five Nights at Freddy’s. I know this because, um, it’s in one of the FNaF books. You’re not going to read them, what do you know? Fuck you.”
GameTheory fans seemed still impressed despite the video’s lack of usual research.
“I can’t believe how he used math, data, and Easter Eggs to posit that the Mario Brothers may be related, I never even thought about that!” said commenter Eric Sanderson. “He’s so smart, yet funny. He informs, yet entertains! I can tell he’s maybe running out of steam a little bit, but he still managed to find copious amounts of proof that Mario and Luigi have to be related in some way. This video cracked the Mario lore wide open, and I can’t wait to see what he does next! I just hope one of them turns out to be in Undertale all along.”
At press time, sources reported that MatPat was working on another theory video, in which he spends fifteen minutes mathematically proving that real life hedgehogs are probably not actually blue.
