Tomodachi Life Concert Hall Parodies

About

Tomodachi Life Concert Hall Parodies are a series of videos in which users alter lyrics in the “Concert Hall” feature of Nintendo’s Tomodachi Life, a video game for the Nintendo 3DS, to make humorous content.

Origin

Tomadachi Life is a video game in which players can import their Miis and have them walk around and interact on an island. Though Tomodachi Life was released in Japan on April 18th, 2013, it wasn’t until the game was released in North America and Europe on June 6th, 2014, that parody videos using the Concert Hall feature emerged.

One of the earliest known videos to use the Concert Hall for humor was uploaded by Jeffrey Grubb on June 5th, 2016, with the title "Tomodachi Life -- Techno song -- “I don’t like pants on my leggies.”^[1]

Spread

While many Youtubers^[6][7] took to their channels to upload their funny songs, two people in particular helped spread the trend.

Peanut Butter Gamer

On June 24th, 2016, the popular Youtube personality Peanut Butter Gamer released his review of Tomodachi Life and devoted a minute of his review to illustrating how “you can make your Mii sing songs, and you can edit the lyrics to make them as juvenile or inappropriate as Nintendo will allow.” He showed footage of humorous things he made his Miis say. The video has over 4,000,000 views as of July 27th, 2016.

Harold

On September 7th, 2014, a Vine user by the name of Harold uploaded the first^[2] of what would be many Vines he created in the Concert Hall. It has received over 12,000 likes and 5,500 revines. He published a few more with some success, and on December 12th, 2014, he published what would become his most popular Tomodachi Life parody video (shown below).

The Vine briefly turned “I’m sucking my own dick, and dying” into a meme, as users on Vine^[3][4] and Twitter^[5] paid homage to the joke.
