Wherever this show is from happens to be one of my earliest memories of television

The Super Mario Brothers Super Show

That's Elvira, so now I need to go find out when the hell there was an Elvira/Mario crossover.

Aaaand I'm back, that was quick: https://www.mariowiki.com/Elvira

I also found these:

  1. Mommies Curse: https://youtube.com/watch?v=uMaWivRnhBw
  2. Ghoul Of My Dreams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BNbgeHP6ZY

80s TV was crazy.

Huh, at first glance I thought it was porn and Mario was Ron Jeremy.

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 21 points 23 hours ago

Nintendo owns the rights to the Ron Jeremy "film" involving Mario and never let it officially get released.

Dunno if true, still upvote.

Full name Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

Species Human

Well that can't be right.

[-] obelisk_complex@piefed.ca 2 points 19 hours ago

Well she's not a goombah, that's for sure!

[-] perishthethought@piefed.social 15 points 1 day ago

That was ... Amazing! Good find, I somehow missed that show in the 80s.

I have no idea how me and my sister found it but it was basically peak childhood for me.

The things that make me feel old in this pic: A) People think TV in the 70s was black and white. B) Someone jokingly dated this show to the 70s. C) Get off my lawn

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

TV in the 70s was in color.

Horrible, unforgivable color.

[-] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 1 points 15 hours ago

The Brady Bunch had some bootleg kids?

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago

The world was black and white until the 30s. Color was a still lil grainy in places in the 70s.

When I posted this, the thought occurred to me that some people might not know who Elvira was too.

STOP IT, WE GET IT, WE'RE ANCIENT

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 20 hours ago

I'm sure they've seen one of her 3 pinball machines at the electro carnival arcade

Clock King from Batman: The Animated Series that came out 34 years ago

[-] albbi@piefed.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Whoever colourized this forgot to work on her. /s

[-] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 0 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

I will say, the colors chosen for the set do make it look a bit like a colorised photo now. Though it's hard to say how much of that is the original color on set and how much was lost to the camera back then. It was tough to light/balance stuff well back then. Especially if they changed cameras, or if the set was made with a different camera in mind either way.

Behind the scenes footage always looks different back then from what aired. Not just from lack a of post-processing, like it would now, but also a lack of "pre-processing", lol.

Even back then, she knew Luigi was the more attractive one.

Luigi is the best brother in every way. Especially that way. Real ones know what I'm talking about.

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 hours ago

I mean, I know what you're talking about but I feel like you assume everybody has the same tastes and preferences as you, which is absolutely not the case. Some of us like short, stocky dudes with incredible facial hair and sexy accents.
