People getting horny for Nintendo characters and obsessing over details like Wario’s nipples aren’t anything new. We’re not here to judge those who put virtual creations on a sex symbol pedestal, which is why we’re totally cool with a newly-resurfaced Nintendo ad where Sex In The City star Kim Cattrall is ridiculously horny for Mario and seemingly wants to mount the plumber like a Yoshi.
Speaking of Nintendo stuff, the GOAT team talk about ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ on ‘It’s Been A Big Day For…’ below:
This unexpected Sex In The City/Mario crossover ad was released back in 2012 to promote the Nintendo 3DS, and it’s now gotten a new jolt of popularity after Twitter user Marc Snetiker shared it alongside the all-too-appropriate caption, “fully losing my mind over this Nintendo ad where Kim Cattrall is horny for Mario??!!??”
The excessive use of exclamation and question marks are a nice touch.
As for what happens, the ad sees Kim Cattrall spoof her Sex In The City character where she lounges around the house playing a Nintendo 3DS and saying overly suggestive things like “I’ll always find time for Mario” and “He’s totally into dressing up. That tanooki suit is my particular favorite.”
There’s just so much to unpack here. There’s the slightly unsettling mental image of a Sex In The City character getting excessively horny over a fictional Italian plumber in a raccoon suit, the ridiculous amounts of sexual subtext (intentional or otherwise), and the strange way Kim Cattrall pronounces Mario as “Marry-O.”
Needless to say that the internet had a field day over this resurfaced gem of Kim expressing her fixation over a CG plumber who has no hair on his body and can rock a pair of blue overalls.
To Kim’s credit, she happily leaned into the fun by retweeting the video and declaring “I’ll always find time for Mario.” Talk about taking horny on main to new levels.
Hats off to Kim Cattrall for embracing Samantha’s Sex In The City “tri-sexual” mantra and shooting her shot with Mario. We’re totally rootin’ for things to work out between these two crazy kids!
