About
Bing Bing Wahoo is a phonetic spelling of the noises made by Mario in Super Mario games, notably Super Mario 64, when he collects coins and jumps. The phrase grew popular on the 4chan board /v/ in 2016, coinciding with announcement of the Nintendo Switch and Super Mario Odyssey, and has been used as an insult for Nintendo fans.
Origin
On October 6th, 2016, an anonymous user in a /v/ thread posted the phrase[1] with a picture of Paper Mario (shown below).

Spread
Two weeks later,[2] after the Nintendo Switch's first commercial was released, an image of a man playing the Switch on an airplane became the subject of a running gag in the community, imagining the man upsetting nearby passengers by playing a Mario game on the Switch.

This was the origin of a characterization of Nintendo fans as immature and irritating, exemplified by the noises made in a typical Mario platformer. One of the most popular plays on the joke, posted to Twitter on October 30th, 2016,[3] took an image of a person playing a Switch at a party with annoyed looking onlookers (shown below).

A play on the same joke would be posted again on March 1st, 2017 to /v/ (shown below). A screenshot of this joke was later posted to Facebook meme page Carl Wheezer: Meme Dealer.[4]

Eventually, the phrase "Bing Bing Wahoo" would turn into slang for Mario and the Switch itself, particularly as the release date for Super Mario Odyssey neared (examples shown below).
