Charlie Day’s Luigi Mangione Joke Is Absolutely Unhinged
Charlie Day just made a joke so wild we’re still picking our jaws up off the floor. While promoting the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the actor casually ranked Luigi Mangione—the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson—as his second-favorite Luigi. Yes, really.
During an interview, Day couldn’t resist the opportunity to riff on the whole situation, laughing as he basically said Mangione ranks right below, well, Luigi from Super Mario. The timing? Absolutely unhinged. The audacity? Peak Charlie Day energy.
The joke landed exactly how you’d expect in 2026—some people thought it was hilarious, others were genuinely disturbed that he went there while promoting a family-friendly video game movie. Either way, it’s the kind of comment that lives rent-free in your brain for weeks.
