Well, unexpected origin story strikes again! I stand ( or sit ) corrected. This just means that they put more though into Waluigi's name ( a throwaway character ) than Wario's though D:UltimateXShadow said:Well, it's interesting that you bring that up, because, surprisingly, Waluigi's name actually makes sense. Here is an excerpt from the Super Mario Wiki, which I know is legitimate since I've read similar articles years before. Observe, and be amazed:Mr_Czar said:I meant the games designer who actually named Waluigi, not you for bringing him up. I agree that everything about him is ridiculous.UltimateXShadow said:Ouch, that shot hurt! >_<Mr_Czar said:
Well, yes, it is quite obvious that he is a weird and creepy character, my point still stands that he's weird and creepy.
Waluigi has two meanings in Japanese. The Japanese word for "bad" or "evil", warui, is also a condescending apology, instead of ones which are more polite. Waluigi's name is a portmanteau of "evil" and "Luigi", forming "Evil Luigi". However, some think his name is a cheap offshot of Wario's name, not knowing the name's Japanese origins.
Waluigi can also be pronounced in Japanese as Waruiji, an anagram for Ijiwaru, Japanese for "mean-spirited". Also worth noting is that the same sound is used for L and R in Japanese.
Here's the article from which I obtained this excerpt. [http://www.mariowiki.com/Waluigi#Name]
Nevertheless, I would agree with you if you said that his name still sounds dumb despite its origins.
Fixed. Is there really a reason to emphasize on why he is one of the most ridiculous characters around? Playing Gears of War with him wins it.
Also there is the guy in GoW2 with the cowboy hat. I am surprised at the amount of people in the war who don't wear a helmet yet survive more than soldiers who do wear a helmet.
It's because, and I quote, "they can't see snipers as well"Dommyboy said:

You gotta go with the Wonder Chef from Tales of Symphonia. He wouldn't be nearly as ridiculous if it wasn't for the little side quest where you had to face the Wonder Chef's arch nemesis in a cook off. It's just crazy.
Oh and the cast from Heavenly sword as well.
On the one hand you have this very shallow but oh so very serious feminsit plot going on with the protagonist but on the other you've got villians who act like Benny Hill characters, complete with wonky animation, profoundly over the top voice acting and some seriously shitty dialogue. Ironic that the sheer weirdness of the game's antagonists turned out to be the best thing about the game.

The entire Bravo Company from Sarge's Heroes. But two stand out more than any others.
Thick would stroll blindly into the scopes of six or seven snipers and suddenly the past hour and a half of gameplay is completely wasted. Secondly, he was retarded. Not using that as a derogatory term, I mean he was literally mentally retarded.
And Scorch? Scorch was a nutcase. I mean the guy spent as much time laughing to himself as he did talking. He also had this incredibly infuriating tendency to get as close as he could to an enemy before torching them, nevermind that they might be toting a grenade launcher.
Seriously, I mean they have an autistic machine gunner and a psychotic flamethrower. Does the green army have some sort of psyche evaluation or is it an open door policy? The worse part was, you had to protect these guys from getting killed by their own stupid mistakes.
Funnniest thing was, after Sarge's Heroes 2, the series went from Saturday Morning fun to Apocolypse Now.
