Giving Mario's dinosaur pal Yoshi a human-like voice is quite possibly one of the worst ideas in the history of video games. Okay, okay; what Yoshi sounds like now isn't quite as brain-melting as the voice he had in the *shudder* Super Mario World cartoon, but almost everyone will agree that Yoshi's old, synthesized cry (one that's impossible to transform into onomatopoeia) is preferable to his newish status of sounding like a constipated toddler who shouts his own name like a Pokemon wannabe. Unfortunately, some people actually seem to enjoy the infant babblings of Mario's once dignified friend; specifically, people like YouTube user DJchedda727, who somehow thought it would be an awesome idea to transform the entire vocabulary of Yoshi into the illest of beats. The result is strangely catchy--but keep in mind that if you play the Yoshi Mix while driving, you may get shot at. By cops.

About Bob Mackey
For a brief period of time I was Bull from TV's
Night Court, but some of you may know me from the humor column I wrote for Youngstown State University's The Jambar, Kent State University's The Stater, and Youngstown's alternative newspaper, The Walruss. I'm perhaps most well-known for my bi-weekly pieces on Something Awful. I've also blogged for Valley24.com and have written articles for EGM, 1UP, GameSpite and Cracked. For all of my writing over the years, I have made a total of twenty American dollars. It's also said that I draw cartoons, which people have described with words such as "legible." I kidnapped the Lindbergh Baby and am looking to do so again in the future.
