Mario Mario (yep, that’s his full name according to Nintendo) is a videogame character who casts a imposingly long shadow over the industry. With decades of banger games and now a hit movie under his belt, Mr. Videogame is a beloved icon of the entire medium thanks, in part, to his squeaky clean reputation.

The Alien from Alien Loves Pepsi
Here at Fact Fiend we’re huge fans of the Alien from Alien because he’s just a little guy trying his best. It’s also a creature that propagates via xeno-human turbo-rape and was designed by a penis-obsessed Swiss art weirdo.

You can probably see where we’re going with this.

The Man So Buff, His Juicers Exploded
Social media is positively lousy with wannabe fitness and health gurus or “gymfluencers” as they’re perhaps better known and pretty much all of their advice is bullshit because fitness is pretty much a solved issue at this point. Something that can be attributed to, in part, Jack LaLanne, a man so buff even products bearing his name could kick the fuck out of you.
