# Pregnant Luigi Pregnant Luigi refers to fan art and video edits depicting the Super Mario Bros. character Luigi with a swollen, pregnancy-like belly. The idea traces back to a 2008 YouTube poop that turned the animated 'Mama Luigi' episode into an mpreg gag, then spread onto DeviantArt where artists produced photoshops, drawings, and even labor scenes[1]. It became a recurring joke in Super Mario fandom and Mpreg art circles. ## Origin On March 30, 2008, YouTube user Tipnman uploaded a YouTube poop titled 'Mama luigi gets pregnant and dies,' splicing footage from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode 'Mama Luigi' into an mpreg gag[1]. It is the earliest known reference to pregnant Luigi. The source episode aired December 7, 1991 as the final entry in the Super Mario World animated series[2]. In it, Luigi tells Yoshi the story of finding him as an egg and raising him, and Yoshi ends up calling Luigi 'mama,' a maternal framing that gave later fan artists something literal to riff on[2]. - **Platform:** YouTube / DeviantArt (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2008 ## Overview The joke leans on Luigi's oddly maternal role in the 1991 cartoon episode 'Mama Luigi,' in which he cares for a Yoshi egg and the baby dinosaur ends up calling him 'mama'[2]. Fans took that thread and ran with it across YouTube poop edits and DeviantArt drawings that redraw Luigi with a round, distended stomach, sometimes paired with Mario as an in-universe partner[3]. Most Pregnant Luigi content lives at the overlap between Super Mario fandom and Mpreg (male pregnancy) art scenes. Common tropes include Luigi looking distressed, Mario reacting or assisting, and captions that call back to the cartoon's 'mama' motif. ## How to Use There is no fixed template.
