We had a whole lot of fun with Luigi’s death stare yesterday, which completely flipped my opinion on Mario Kart 8 and gave me a strong desire to own it. So, the evening news on a FOX New York affiliate tried to pull the same trick and make the news entertaining with Luigi to… mixed results.

Guys, when you awkwardly try to connect with “the youth” by jumping in on a meme, it’s probably best to use one that doesn’t stare at you with disdain. The irony is a bit thick there. Just saying.
