Who knew that when Mario Balotelli took off his shirt and flexed against Germany that it would provide us with a year’s worth of entertainment?

Thank you, Mario. Your indelible image has now given us endless photoshop opportunities: Mario in the War Room with President Obama; Mario grocery shopping; Mario doing yard work – we’ve got more Mario spinoffs than Nintendo did.

Enjoy some of the better Mario images after the jump.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

THIS! IS! SPARTA!

Mario Scissorhands.
