About

DJ Luigi refers to a popular scene from the American animated television series The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. In the episode, the video game character Luigi performs on a DJ turntable set, which has inspired a series of video remixes and image macros.

Origin

On October 26th, 1989, the episode "Bad Rap" of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show aired in the United States. The rap music-themed episode includes a moment where Luigi and his brother Mario perform music with Luigi using a pair of turntables (clip below).[1]



The earliest known usage of DJ Luigi as an image macro was posted on by TG Chan[2] user on July 15th, 2010. In this case, the image of Luigi is shown with a caption that mocks the lyrics to the NWA song "Straight Outta Compton" (shown below).
