Little 3 year old me was obsessed with the old Adam West Batman show. My mom would have friends & relatives ask me where Batman lived, because I would tell them "God damned shitty".
Random meme level idea: take Carl's horrible 'Getting over it' level and just fill it with water so players could just swim up and win. You could have a whole super world of levels that initially look like Carl's nightmare levels, but are actually super easy cute levels.
But make the water level rise. And it doesn't rise all the way to the top. It makes you do the last section and only the last section. But if you miss the last jump once, you either have to redo the entire level or wait for the water to go ALL the way down AND up again for your second attempt (or just restart). Oh, and don't forget that mushroom! (and prob change the ending to have the switch state matter).
Keep in mind tho, it’s all fun and games until you come across a frog suit check, and the level has a few…er…obstacles catered against the frog suit jank
As a linguist the egg corn discussion was super fun. Some egg corns have become permanent fixtures in our language. "Card shark" is a really well documented one, it was originally "Card sharp" but was misheard so often that the phrase changed for everyone.
I think, honestly, the thing that makes Mario Maker troll levels so cool is the fact that they're made *in Mario Maker*. It's like taking a brush, and three colors of paint, and finding every possible combination, and half the time finding chemical reactions to make new colors from what you already have, and creating a goddamn masterpiece.
I agree with this because, like Carl said, you could do *anything* with a romhack, but that has both pros and cons. In a Mario Maker level, you already know all the mechanics that are in the game, you have the same set of tools available when you're making a level as the creator had when making their level - when your expectations are subverted, it's surprising because you already have an educated guess on what SHOULD happen, but it was subverted anyway. With a romhack, ANYTHING can happen - if your expectations are subverted, and the explanation is just "I coded it to act differently", it doesn't have that same surprise value because you would never have been able to guess what would happen correctly anyway. Not to say that romhack trolls are inherently worse than Mario Maker trolls, because sometimes that extra freedom CAN be funnier, but having a consistent set of rules, knowing what those rules are, and then still being surprised by them is far more effective for me than being surprised by rules that could be made up on the spot.
You probably won’t see this but as a cult survivor, it means so much to hear you casually talk about this stuff on stream. People in cults actively avoid anything that might get them to question their beliefs; often the only way to get them to think is by stumbling on information from a source they viewed as “safe.” I think having more voices talking about cult thinking is super important, so thanks for talking about it!
My main language is French, and as a kid, I thought "Spider web" (web -> toile) was "Spider star" (star -> étoile). It made sense to me, considering they have that star-ish shape to them!
@@Bobbias A common Swedish one is "pancake", which is "pannkaka" properly, but a lot of children hear it as "pangkaka", which would translate to "bang-cake".
@@mawillix2018 I think it's good enough for the purpose of this context. Translations are always arguable when it comes to words that aren't directly translated with the exact same meaning.
I've been subscribed to this channel since the first year of SMM1 and even though I kinda miss the hour long videos, I just can't stretch enough how good your content has improved with your current editor, congrats to both! 💕
About your egg corn question carl, I do not know if it fully counts but here goes. English is not my first language and when I grew up even before getting English in school I already knew some english because of all the movies, series and music that is in English. I always thought English was a more sensible language then my mother tongue purely judged by how it sounded and then I started getting english in school, the shock I felt when realizing that there, their and they're were not the same word and spelling (had only heard it spoken up to that point).
Unlikely this will ever get seen. But in the VERY next video, I watched the creator said "fingering it out" rather than "figuring it out". Best follow-up video ever :) I never post, but as a Ph.D. in a clinical science field (working in academic medicine) I often feel burnt out or unhelpful. But your videos and passion for your day job keep me grounded. I am very grateful for your attitude. It has helped me greatly. Thank you.
I love how simply you’re able to explain protein receptors and their interactions with T cells. Like you literally explained it like chat is 5 and I love that.
35:37 - ironically, i was interested in the topic so i ended up googling "mono green"... ended up having to use "eggcorn" to find any results (turns out it was mondegreen).
On the misunderstood sayings stuff, my mum used to say "Too bad, how sad" but I always heard "too bad, house ad" I never understood it and just accepted it after a while, didn't question it for a long time xD And yeah, I usually call these Bone Apple Teas, because that's the subreddit for them I'm aware of, but eggcorns is a sick name too
To the egg corn discussion - my dad would always refer to me and my brother as, “brownian motion machines” when we were little, and both of us, having no concept of what Brownian motion was, assumed that he was saying, “brownie in motion,” with the assumption that there was some being somewhere or from something named brownie who moved around a lot
The perfect troll level would be a level to teach you how to build troll contraptions, but proceed to get you with the trolls it taught you how to make.
I was the doofus in chat at the end who conflated eggcorns with mondegreens. As I found out that day, they're in a similar vein but are ultimately slightly different concepts! That's one thing I love about Larl's streams - I always end up learning something new!
@@MetaKaios From what I understand, a mondegreen is a mistake made by a listener, whereas a malapropism is a mistake made by a speaker. I could be wrong, as it turns out I was concerning the difference between eggcorns and mondegreens, but that's at least my understanding of the difference. On a slightly unrelated note, one of my favorite examples of a malapropism comes from the show Trailer Park Boys. When making claims regarding his mother's maiden name, the character Ricky refers to it as her "mating name".
My main language is German, and as a kid there was a small time period when I thought that the word "Labyrinth" was pronounced like "Langes Rind", which would basically translate to "long cow" but I can't remember having that the other way around.
Re: funny misunderstandings A thing that happens to non native speakers is that you hear a song before you know English and the suddenly 10 years later you hear the song again and you realize al those sounds have meanings. It's not "diep zeep babie" but "deep sea baby"
I’ve been watching mostly videos from 2 years ago. I’m excited to watch a recent video and see Carl show off all the things he’s learned in the past few years.
Jesus, just remembering the time I was sick with COVID is sad :( but on a plus side I can remember the time. Also it was the reason I got into watching mariomaker stuff, even though I didn't own any Nintendo console except GBA - just watching somebody suffer from troll levels was keeping my mood up even though I was coughing out my friggin lungs, and couldn't sleep in any position except siting -_-
BRAVO and Big Thanks to make us Laugh so much ! I should definitely take example on You... your patience, your humour, your tenacity and self control... especially when an unpredictable troll appear 😅
That launcher setup that causes the launcher to bounce up pretty high looks to only work in night mode and uses the fire flower to bounce on the note block right above the clown car as the player jumps.

Take care everyone
I thought for a while that Bless You was Bless Shoe or Bleh Shoe. When I took Spanish, my teacher was saying salud when people sneezed and I thought she was saying "so rude" and probably an unrelated one, but back in the mid 90's I encountered my first @ sign on a school year book advertisement, and I kept trying to make sense of "look a your year" until I eventually realized it was "look @ (at) your year" Another one that got me is when my dad would say the indicator light for door ajar and say "the door is ajar" and I was like "what? how is the door a jar?" I do wonder if anyone ever thought the "bee's knees" was the "bees sneeze" or any other number of things. That phrase is a bit before my time, but I'm sure my parents probably used it at some point. I apparently never got it wrong though.
The topic of eggcorns around 6 minutes in unlocked a memory of mine and i’m not sure if this counts but i’ll share anyway. So, background, my full, legal first name is Alexander. I go by Alex (as most people with that name do) and have for pretty much my entire life. When I was around 4 or 5, I watched Power Rangers Mystic Force, and in that show, one of the main characters (the green ranger, if i recall correctly) was named Xander… so, somehow, I got it in my dumb little child head that, because everyone called me Alex, but sometimes also called me Alexander, my full name _must be_ Alex Xander [middle name] [last name]. It just had to be. And to make matters worse, this was at the point in my life where I was convinced either I could never be wrong or if I said something with enough confidence and conviction, it would become true. So I had numerous arguments with my parents and teachers about the fact that I did or didn’t have two middle names. But, yeah, does that count or am I just a dumbass?
one of the best Egg Corns is how people think its "flick off" when its really "flip off", when referring to giving the middle finger - so many people think its flick that it is on urban dictionary. Flip off is in websters.
In Germany we have something called "Agathe Bauer"-Songs. It is when you listen to a song and understand something that is not really the right text, and it stems from a story in wich a woman called a radio station to wish for a song she wanted to hear and she didn't know the name of the song and called it the "Agathe Bauer"-Song. Understandably it took the moderator a good moment to understand that she meant "I got the power" and wanted that sond.
Misheard song lyrics are sometimes called "mondegreens" in English ("They hae slain the Earl o' Moray / And Lady Mondegreen [laid him on the green]"). There also is an old website called "Kiss this Guy" (after the misheard Jimi Hendrix lyrics "excuse me while I kiss the sky").
For more years than I know I heard, “In the western town of Dennenwalt,” when it actually was the following: “In a West End town, a dead end world The East End boys and West End girls” Thank you Pet Shop Boys
On the "from the gecko" thing: German speakers have this thing with the famous song "Zombie" from The Cranberries, where instead of hearing "Zombie" we hear "Zahnweh" which means "tooth ache" and it makes so much sense with the way she cries it out. :D Or the song from SNAP! "I Got The Power" we mishear as "Agate Bauer", which is a common name in our countries.
I wish other IPs would get their own Maker game. Imagine if metroidvania style Maker game, things could be so much more in-depth, and troll levels could have an insane amount of polish assuming the right base mechanics could be in place; Metroid specifically would be good, as Samus has a fairly wide set of standard abilities that would be akin to Mario's various power-ups for level design. A Maker game for 2D Sonic would also be amazing, especially if it follows the original formula where speed isn't the main focus of level design, but slowing down and adventuring to find alternate routes and secrets is the core of the game; not to mention Sonic has a better roster for allowing branching paths and mechanics. This type of game has so much potential outside of Mario, and even within the Mario IP there's so much more that could be explored, it's sad that devs aren't all that willing to pursue this genre to its fullest.
A long time ago there was an online community-created multiplayer A Link to the Past-based game. I forget how it was all connected, but anyone could create their own bit and get others to enter it. You could also add code (some high-level game logic type code) to NPCs and other interactables.
19:43 I remember hearing about how students from even the Ivy League and MIT have ended up in cults and it really changed my perspective on the people who get sucked up into them. Like, I want to believe that I'm smart enough to never end up in them, but if _they did_ then whose to say I won't?
cults are a truly scary thing because you won't be able to outsmart it's influence unless you realize your joining a cult because they reinforce two things that aren't true your alone without them and your lost without them to where some people who leave will rejoin because they were so far gone
I think appreciating the fact a person would tear down a fence because they are human like me and convinced themselves the fence was stupid and they were smart is not virtuous or admirable. It's pride and arrogance the likes that forces others to suffer for their decision to convince themselves that having to admit they make terrible choices is worse for humanity than just trusting that someone built the fence for a good reason.
I thought "hot lava" was actually "hot lover" when I was in kindergarten. I'll never forget my teacher's reaction when she heard me say "hot lover" jumping from chair to chair playing The Floor is Lava.
20:00 I agree. Once I realized I was capable of that, I've spent my whole life seeking every single way I'm wrong as a way to avoid falling into this pitfall. That, and standing by the idea that any given thing I think is true is capable of being wrong, no matter the seeming evidence. What sucks is how often people seem to think I'm in the wrong for thinking this way. As if believing is somehow "better" than learning. Or people who actively dislike learning.
this is def best kind of trolls, whether it be a zipping setup that makes u giggle figuring out how youre gonna end up getting the shiny, psychologically torture you so youre in the wrong spot snd get booped by fireballs, getting booped a billion time in the same area; not sure if you call this multiple setups for 1 area or 1 setup for multiple trolls, eitherway its gold. we also have carl torture trolls where you make him autopilot going into cp1 bc of slight difference in the process of going sl the way back to cp2, my favorite! speaking of zipping setups, creators like AbOton make those setups just unbelievably silly with some glitching, beyond human reaction funny lil peeks, etc. cant forget his name for this kind of stuff, nor will i forget some iconic names in this community for some of the silliest things ever
I think I just had an egg corn from one of those egg corns.. "knowledge is power, Francis Bacon" and I thought of the artist that makes surreal body horror paintings
While this levle (and Carl's reactions that never fail to entertain) was fantastic; I think my favorite part was the very end where he admits he thought it was "nip it in the butt" right before the end theme starts singing "the more you know."
Saying “Just trust the science” is sort of like saying “just trust the government.” Ignorance is not an excuse to blindly follow things unquestioning, in fact, doing so spits in the face of science.
I was taught exclusively in French from Kindergarten to Grade 3, and in K whenever I heard my teacher say "outside" in French (à l'extérieur), I always thought she was saying my name (Alex).
the eggcorn thing is awful when learning a new language, so many words are very barely different from each other, so pronunciation is always a necessary thing to learn no matter how obvious it seems to you, you're probably wrong, but that's normal in the early stages. famous example in French is "beaucoup (many)" sounding like "beau cul (nice a*s)," but for me most embarrassingly came in the form "journée typique" (normal day) and "jeune atypique" (unusual youth)
A funny one as I was learning Chinese is the word for technical school 技術學院(jìshù xuéyuà) is often shortened to 技院 (jìyuàn). That shortened version is pronounced the same way as the word for brothel.
My Eggcorn moments were losing in Final Fantasy VII and the game over screen saying my party was Anal-lated. I did not know why my stepdad found this hilarious. The other one for me was AC/DC's famous "Dirty Deed (and a Thunder Jeep)". I didn't know what a ThunderJeep was, but it sounded cool!
Eggcorn is similar to a mondegreen. But mondegreen comes from song lyrics, and as I typed this you read a comment in the twitch chat that said exactly the same thing! 😂, grape minds... grape minds...
Andrew here is a person just like us. Not too different from any of us humans. His gameplay is full of spaghetti. Reflect on this. Be humble. Your gameplay is spaghetti, just like his.
The 6:00 conversation. I always heard Shiny Pokemon as Chinese Pokemon. And for years I wondered why people were excited to trade Pokemon from another language.

Misheard song lyrics are sometimes called "mondegreens" in English ("They hae slain the Earl o' Moray / And Lady Mondegreen [laid him on the green]"). There also is an old website called "Kiss this Guy" (after the misheard Jimi Hendrix lyrics "excuse me while I kiss the sky").
For more years than I know I heard, “In the western town of Dennenwalt,” when it actually was the following: “In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls”
Thank you Pet Shop Boys
On the "from the gecko" thing: German speakers have this thing with the famous song "Zombie" from The Cranberries, where instead of hearing "Zombie" we hear "Zahnweh" which means "tooth ache" and it makes so much sense with the way she cries it out. :D Or the song from SNAP! "I Got The Power" we mishear as "Agate Bauer", which is a common name in our countries.
Am German, don't know Zombie or The Cranberries, do know Zahanweh Zahanweh Zahanweh-eh-eh.
@@DavidSmith-bh6ez That's exactly the one.
"What's in your hair, in your hair, mommy, mommy"
@@FadkinsDiet Haha, haven't heard that one before.
i always thought it was “if it’s any constellation” and i honestly like that more
My cousin had one when he was young. He used to call the "Call A Bus" the Koala Bus.
I wish other IPs would get their own Maker game. Imagine if metroidvania style Maker game, things could be so much more in-depth, and troll levels could have an insane amount of polish assuming the right base mechanics could be in place; Metroid specifically would be good, as Samus has a fairly wide set of standard abilities that would be akin to Mario's various power-ups for level design. A Maker game for 2D Sonic would also be amazing, especially if it follows the original formula where speed isn't the main focus of level design, but slowing down and adventuring to find alternate routes and secrets is the core of the game; not to mention Sonic has a better roster for allowing branching paths and mechanics. This type of game has so much potential outside of Mario, and even within the Mario IP there's so much more that could be explored, it's sad that devs aren't all that willing to pursue this genre to its fullest.
HARD AGREE
A long time ago there was an online community-created multiplayer A Link to the Past-based game. I forget how it was all connected, but anyone could create their own bit and get others to enter it. You could also add code (some high-level game logic type code) to NPCs and other interactables.
1:56 Carl laugh syncs perfectly with the death sound
19:43 I remember hearing about how students from even the Ivy League and MIT have ended up in cults and it really changed my perspective on the people who get sucked up into them. Like, I want to believe that I'm smart enough to never end up in them, but if _they did_ then whose to say I won't?
cults are a truly scary thing because you won't be able to outsmart it's influence unless you realize your joining a cult because they reinforce two things that aren't true your alone without them and your lost without them to where some people who leave will rejoin because they were so far gone
It's a famous addage of con artists that they prefer smart marks. "Dumb" people are often used to being tricked, so they're on guard for it.
It would make sense that college students end up in cults, they are used to paying people to be told what to do after all.
You have already joined a cult...

I think appreciating the fact a person would tear down a fence because they are human like me and convinced themselves the fence was stupid and they were smart is not virtuous or admirable. It's pride and arrogance the likes that forces others to suffer for their decision to convince themselves that having to admit they make terrible choices is worse for humanity than just trusting that someone built the fence for a good reason.
I thought "hot lava" was actually "hot lover" when I was in kindergarten. I'll never forget my teacher's reaction when she heard me say "hot lover" jumping from chair to chair playing The Floor is Lava.
4:44 for the fours. Also I HA’d so loud when he gets the hint.
how kind of Shadekitty and Carl to release a collaborative fiddle album for us
I've never seen the stun from gorp get cancelled like that before.
20:00 I agree. Once I realized I was capable of that, I've spent my whole life seeking every single way I'm wrong as a way to avoid falling into this pitfall. That, and standing by the idea that any given thing I think is true is capable of being wrong, no matter the seeming evidence.
What sucks is how often people seem to think I'm in the wrong for thinking this way. As if believing is somehow "better" than learning. Or people who actively dislike learning.
I used to think "errand" was "Aaron". So, my mom would go "run an Aaron".
this is def best kind of trolls, whether it be a zipping setup that makes u giggle figuring out how youre gonna end up getting the shiny, psychologically torture you so youre in the wrong spot snd get booped by fireballs, getting booped a billion time in the same area; not sure if you call this multiple setups for 1 area or 1 setup for multiple trolls, eitherway its gold.
we also have carl torture trolls where you make him autopilot going into cp1 bc of slight difference in the process of going sl the way back to cp2, my favorite!
speaking of zipping setups, creators like AbOton make those setups just unbelievably silly with some glitching, beyond human reaction funny lil peeks, etc. cant forget his name for this kind of stuff, nor will i forget some iconic names in this community for some of the silliest things ever
I think I just had an egg corn from one of those egg corns.. "knowledge is power, Francis Bacon" and I thought of the artist that makes surreal body horror paintings
While this levle (and Carl's reactions that never fail to entertain) was fantastic; I think my favorite part was the very end where he admits he thought it was "nip it in the butt" right before the end theme starts singing "the more you know."
It's been 5 months since I've binged me some Carl. I got some catching up to do!
Saying “Just trust the science” is sort of like saying “just trust the government.” Ignorance is not an excuse to blindly follow things unquestioning, in fact, doing so spits in the face of science.
To think DGR made some grand statement that “MM2 is dead”. MM2 isn’t any more dead than MM1 was when it came out 3 years ago.
15:00 What the hell. This video is making me lose 7 seconds of my life everytime I want to see Carl die there.
It took me a sec to realize the editor had a bit a fun there looking at the clock.
I would probably buy a print of the main hub of seven trolly pieces lmao
The launcher goes up that high because it's trying to get into the clown car, but fails to do so and so it falls back down
Never change Carl... Hilarious.
ohhhhhh AHHHHHHHHHHH. the classic sounds of SMM2
Carl liked this level so much he played it 6 times!
When shade Kitty is so powerful the trolls reach the physical cable on the switch
I was taught exclusively in French from Kindergarten to Grade 3, and in K whenever I heard my teacher say "outside" in French (à l'extérieur), I always thought she was saying my name (Alex).
13:13 No, it ‘hey’-ed _you._
The outro fit extra well today
the eggcorn thing is awful when learning a new language, so many words are very barely different from each other, so pronunciation is always a necessary thing to learn no matter how obvious it seems to you, you're probably wrong, but that's normal in the early stages.
famous example in French is "beaucoup (many)" sounding like "beau cul (nice a*s)," but for me most embarrassingly came in the form "journée typique" (normal day) and "jeune atypique" (unusual youth)
A funny one as I was learning Chinese is the word for technical school 技術學院(jìshù xuéyuà) is often shortened to 技院 (jìyuàn). That shortened version is pronounced the same way as the word for brothel.
Similar to that is how many words in English have the same letters and different pronunciation. Look for a poem called "The Chaos" by G Nolst Trenité
@@Bobbias yes tones are identical lol
That would ACTUALLY be sick! Posters of troll levels!
My Eggcorn moments were losing in Final Fantasy VII and the game over screen saying my party was Anal-lated. I did not know why my stepdad found this hilarious.
The other one for me was AC/DC's famous "Dirty Deed (and a Thunder Jeep)". I didn't know what a ThunderJeep was, but it sounded cool!
16:00 Carlbox came, he seesawed, he perished.
R.I.P.
Eggcorn is similar to a mondegreen. But mondegreen comes from song lyrics, and as I typed this you read a comment in the twitch chat that said exactly the same thing! 😂, grape minds... grape minds...
Andrew here is a person just like us. Not too different from any of us humans. His gameplay is full of spaghetti. Reflect on this. Be humble. Your gameplay is spaghetti, just like his.
14:59 that edit freaked me out, thought that was some new death-tech
I made the mistake of having a drink while watching this. I swear I almost spit it out a few times already and I’m not even halfway.
Hey Carl there's a typo in the video title, reupload?
It makes sense because people convince themselves that they're smarter/different than other people. THEY couldn't ever believe silly stuff.
Juicebox instead of jukebox was an eggcorn I was always confused with
The 6:00 conversation. I always heard Shiny Pokemon as Chinese Pokemon. And for years I wondered why people were excited to trade Pokemon from another language.
