Mario Characters & Concepts in Popular Culture

Due to Mario's popularity various concepts have been mentioned in pop culture

In music

 * Internet parody artist "Insane Ian" made a song called Bob-omb (parodied Grenade by Bruno Mars). In it Ian (as Mario) mentions suicidal stunts he'd do for Peach (such as catch the titular Bob-omb, jumping under a thwomp, etc.) much like the original except in the second verse he mentions various spinoffs such as Mario Golf (I'd play a dumb round of golf) among others.

In Television

 * In an episode of Robot Chicken. There's a Fast & Furious/Mario Kart Crossover parody. People are eliminated one by one cumulnating in Wario (in a humorously high voice) explains the purpose of the Spiny Shell ("Blue-a Turtle Shell")
 * In another episode of Robot Chicken. There is a GTA/Super Mario crossover parody. Luigi killed a girls pet turtle (thinking it was a koopa) Which got them one of GTA's infamous wanted stars. The parody culmunates with the National Guard Shooting Luigi. (Mario: He's a-marinating in his own-a Ragu) and then Mario.
 * In an episode of MAD. A (suposedly superior) goomba tells a rookie to not let mario stomp on him. Which ironically happens senconds later. The superior goomba cries WHY... YOU CROOK, take me instead.
 * In another episode of MAD. During a video game cheats sketch super mario bros. is mentioned which (for frivoulous reasons) Mario can hail a cab, the driver of which will not (ironically) accept gold coins. Then the cabbie proceeds to kick Mario out.
 * An 8-bit Mario sprite is seen running in MAD's opening credits
 * In an episode of Phineas & Ferb. The titular duo design a game with almost a perfect representation of SMB game mechanics (even Candace's blow dryer could be considered a variation of Mario's Fireball attack)

On the internet

 * On top of the aforementioned song parody there are several Mario instances, including...
 * A Cartoon revealing Peach's Ficticious twins with Mario leading up to the actual labor
 * Stupid/Funny Mario Deaths: Videos chroniclizing humorous (sometimes faked) deaths in Mario 3D games
 * Short videos satirizing Mario's somewhat over emphasized Italian accent
