4	->''"Legends speak of a man who, from humble Italian beginnings, became one of the {{video game}} world's greatest most beloved heroes... He rescued damsels. He was a celebrity and a spokesman, a {{renaissance man}} who excelled in everything from sports to pharmaceutical studies. But despite his immense fame, this luminary was not above charitable causes like cleaning up the environment and helping children learn art, music, and even typing. And of course, he rescued more damsels. A prolific figure, his almost immeasurable list of accomplishments have inspired volumes upon volumes of comics.\
5	This one is about that guy's little brother. He did stuff too, I think."''

8	''It Sucks to Be Weegie'' is a ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' {{fan webcomic\|s}} by Kevin "K-Bo" Bolk (whose other credits include ''Webcomic/ImMyOwnMascot'', ''Webcomic/TriggerStar'', and ''Webcomic/EnsignSueMustDie''), about, well... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin how much it sucks to be Weegie]].

10	Luigi is your [[LoserProtagonist run-of-the-mill loser]] who is trying to get out of his brother's shadow ([[TheGhost who incidentally never shows up in the comic]]). The world is constantly out to get him, however. He starts out without a single friend, but as the series goes on he gains support from [[BigBeautifulWoman Daisy]], [[TheDitz Rosalina]] and [[TheConfidant Link]].

13	----
14	!!This series contains examples of:
15	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: '''Out the ears.''' Link is slight CampGay, Luigi has an inferiority complex, Daisy is [[AllWomenAreLustful a pervert]], Peach is TheDitz, [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Rosalina]] is ''even more'' of a ditz, [[VideoGame/Mother3 Lucas]] is a NietzscheWannabe, and [[VideoGame/FZero Captain Falcon]] is ''also'' a ditz (and a {{Jerkass}}, for prank calling Luigi pretending to be Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto offering a pay rise).[[invoked]]
16	* AnimatedActors: The character's video game exploits occupy a weird space between this trope and actual adventures. It's most prominent with Link, though, [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Weegie-Link-s-New-Job-275126607 who is explicitly referred to as being "on the set" of]] ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]''.
17	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Luigi's possible past lives were that of [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Past-Lives-163509497 dictators, murderers, and the Pringles Man]].
18	* AsideGlance: Luigi gives one in [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/It-Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Freddie-158052850 this comic]], as he realizes he can take advantage of the fact Rosalina mistakes him for Freddie Mercury.
19	* BaitAndSwitch: In [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Weegie-At-Last-252018568 one comic]], the pudgy hero of the Mushroom Kingdom whose name starts with M is finally showing up in the comic! You're expecting it to be Mario, aren't you? [[spoiler: Nope, sorry, it's actually [[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Mallow]].]]
20	* BerserkButton: [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Wardrobe-180995021 Daisy's is claiming she's just a]] PaletteSwap of Peach. [[TranquilFury Link's]] [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Weegie-Name-197584352 is pointing how he's hardly in the]] [[IAmNotShazam titles for his games]].
21	* BetterAsFriends: [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/It-Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Friends-156861516 Daisy tells Luigi this]]. He's just happy to ''have'' a friend.
22	* BigBeautifulWoman: Daisy is made much chubbier than the other princesses. She's still quite cute. Cute enough to even have her own [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=daisy#/d2uwu3m pin-up picture.]]
23	* ButtMonkey: Luigi to a ridiculous degree. There's also the Goomba that complains about how he always has to worry about getting squashed... just for [[VideoGame/StarFox Fox]] [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Goombas-183397632 to trample him moments afterwards]].
24	* CelebrityResemblance: An in-universe example happens when [[TheDitz Rosalina]] [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/It-Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Freddie-158052850 mistakes Luigi for]] [[Music/{{Queen}} Freddie Mercury]]. She keeps on calling him Freddie throughout the comic, and he doesn't mind.
25	* CreepyChild: Lucas. It says something when [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/S2BW-Falcon-s-Party-Part-3-262930222 quoting lyrics]] from ''Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'' isn't out of character for him.
26	* ADayInTheLimelight: Birdo gets her own comic in one of the strips, named [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-To-Be-Weegie-It-s-Great-To-Be-Birdo-364366894 "It's Great to be Birdo!"]]
27	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Rosalina is a literal space case. She thinks Luigi is ''Freddie Mercury''.
28	* TheEeyore: Lucas.
29	* EldritchAbomination: Rosalina paints a picture for Luigi. The painting is of "Weegee", from the PC game VideoGame/MarioIsMissing. Its eyes even move. [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Portrait-167895951 Naturally, Luigi freaks out.]]
30	* EnfantTerrible: [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Mario-Kart-153670444 Baby Peach.]]
31	* EvilCounterpart: Luigi has one in the form of Waluigi, who constantly mocks him despite the fact he may be the one person who actually sucks more than Luigi. Luigi even calls him out on it. See TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
32	* ExactWords: [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-2B-Weegie-Daisy-s-Book-198874497 Well played princess...]]
33	* GamerChick: One of Daisy's hobbies is playing video games.
34	* TheGhost: Mario. Despite being mentioned a lot for his heroics, Luigi's more popular brother never appears in the comic. Wonderfully lampshaded in [[http://tiny.cc/nc7zax this]] background, and in the eyesight test in the comic Playing Doctor.
35	* {{Gonk}}: [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Advice-158550188 Wario]], [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Nemesis-p-1-172169334 Waluigi]], and [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Her-Type-165983436 Donkey Kong]].
36	* GoshDangItToHeck: Luigi swears this way.
37	* HaveIMentionedIAmGay: Link.
38	* HeroicMime: Averted with Link. He {{handwave}}s it by saying he just doesn't get to talk a lot in his day job.
39	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Luigi and Link... even though Link isn't actually heterosexual.
40	* IncompatibleOrientation: Daisy ''immediately'' falls head-over-heels in love with Link... too bad for her that Link is StraightGay.
41	* InterspeciesRomance: Between [[Franchise/DonkeyKong Pauline and Donkey Kong]].
42	* {{Jerkass}}:
43	** Waluigi and Captain Falcon. Zelda is one.
44	** Captain Falcon may actually be acting like a {{Jerkass}} to cover up the fact that he's actually just as lonely as Luigi.
45	* LocalHangout: "Sub-Space," which is a bar where Luigi, Link, and Daisy often hang out.
46	* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Zelda, apparently.
47	* NiceGuy: Link
48	* NoodleIncident: Link mentions an "incident in '93" at one point. Zelda does the same later. Then again, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames given what we know about certain Zelda games released in 1993]], it's probably for the best that they don't elaborate.
49	* [[PuppyDogEyes "Sad Octorock" Face]]: Luigi's are strong enough to '' [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/S2BW-Falcon-s-Party-Part-1-259494302 work through the phoneline]]''. Mario also [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-Be-Luigi-Costumes-164370755 apparently]] has them.
50	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Nemesis-p-3-174853915 Luigi gives quite a nasty one to Waluigi]] after he's spent two comics {{troll}}ing Luigi. In fact, he begins to tear up afterwards. When Luigi starts to feel bad for it, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk Waluigi]] takes advantage of the opportunity and gives him an atomic wedgie.
51	--> '''Luigi:''' I suck? ''I'' suck!?! Look who's talking, you freak! How many games have you been in, huh? ''Mario Tennis?'' Yeah, real winner there. And what? Did you wake up one morning and think "I'm sick of playing with myself. I should do something with my life. I know! I'll dress up like a crappy evil clone of a second-string video game character." Yeah, way to aim high, pal. I may have low self-esteem but I think you are the only person who actually sucks more than I do. So you can take your "secret message" and '''SHOVE IT WHERE THE WARP PIPES DON'T GO!!'''
52	* SamusIsAGirl: ...except Luigi doesn't know that. [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Flirting-179624896 When she offered him the time of his life, Luigi refused, saying that he didn't swing that way.]]
53	%%* SorryImGay: Link.
54	* StealthInsult: "I assure you, no one could possibly think less of you than they already do."
55	* StrawNihilist: [[VideoGame/MOTHER3 Lucas]], as seen [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Weegie-Lucas-202977317 here.]]
56	* TakeThat:
57	** [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Blind-Date-154319483 Peach describes]] Literature/TheTwilightSaga as "those trashy vampire novels".
58	** The comic takes [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Luigi-Propeller-155015740 a few]] [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-Be-Luigi-Costumes-164370755 digs at the outfits in]] VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy and VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros
59	* TheTeaser: Every comic starts with a remark from Luigi. Sometimes they are related to the comic, but more often they're just further looks at how much it sucks to be him.
60	* TheUnfavourite: It wasn't really surprising when [[ButtMonkey Luigi]] was revealed to be one. In an earlier comic, he says that he was apparently Mama's favourite "Not-Mario". Poor Luigi. Taken to an incredibly pitiful level [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-be-Weegie-Baby-274139325 here.]]
61	* ThisLoserIsYou: Luigi.
62	* ThrowTheDogABone:
63	** In the finale, he [[spoiler:gets a compliment and a kiss from Toadette.]]
64	** There are a few other instances, such as when he set up a free hugs booth but didn't get any hugs [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-2b-Weegie-Hugs-Part-3-243604727 so Link takes him out for ice-cream]].
65	** And the "Launch party".
66	* WhenLifeGivesYouLemons: [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-to-Be-Luigi-Costumes-164370755 ...be thankful it didn't give you rocks.]]
67	* WoundedGazelleGambit: Waluigi pretends to be hurt by Luigi's beatdown of him in order to lure him in for an atomic wedgie.
68	* WrongGenreSavvy: [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Sucks-2B-Weegie-Party-Prelude-258392621 Captain Falcon impersonates Shigeru Miyamoto and pulls a prank on Luigi by saying that it is the Year of Luigi.]] [[http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/It-Sucks-To-Be-Weegie-2013-362874085 When Satoru Iwata calls about the same thing, Luigi thinks it is another prank, and rages at him.]]
69	* YaoiFangirl: Daisy is one, if her [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Axel/Roxas]] poster is anything to go by. Also perhaps why she's not deterred by Link outright telling her he's gay...
70	* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Referenced in the first comic.
