Saturday Night Live’s spoof of Mario Kart as a gritty ‘The Last of Us’ drama is perfect

This parody is so funny.

Pedro Pascal hosted Saturday Night Live this week, and you knew there had to be some reference to his current HBO hit, The Last of Us, which — as you may know — is an adaptation of a video game.

So SNL had Pascal star in a gritty, post-apocalyptic adaptation of … Mario Kart. Pascal as Mario probably will have Nintendo fans wondering if he was a better choice than Chris Pratt in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie.

You’ll see all kinds of reimagined references, from “Let’s a-go” to Rainbow Road to what Mario’s crew might look like in a series like this. It’s hilarious, trust me.
