Slightly Thick Waluigi
Slightly Thick Waluigi is a Brooklyn-based call-in guest who phoned into the live broadcast of Barely Informed News.
Overview
Phoning into the studio during the 2026-09-01 broadcast, “Slightly Thick Waluigi” claimed to be a physically stocky variant of Nintendo’s Waluigi. Speaking with a pronounced New York cadence, the caller astonishingly claimed personal responsibility for the historic assassinations of both Tupac Shakur and John F. Kennedy, asserting that both operations were executed utilizing oversized Mario Kart banana peels.
As Blackwell struggled to maintain journalistic order over the studio lines, the caller further alleged that both Luigi and Waluigi were his biological offspring before technical operators abruptly terminated the broadcast patch.
