In the whimsical world of Tomodachi Life, Miis can do almost anything, from forming quirky friendships to living out outrageous scenarios. One of the most hilarious and charming aspects of the game is how these digital residents act out various roles, including that of famous inventors. While some may simply mimic the stereotypical image of an inventor—think of lab coats and glasses—others bring their own unique flair and humor to the role, creating moments that are both funny and endearing. Let’s dive into some of the funniest times Miis have acted like famous inventors in Tomodachi Life.
The Tesla Mishap: Sparks Fly
Nikola Tesla, the brilliant inventor known for his groundbreaking work in electricity, became a Mii character in one resident’s game. The Mii, however, was far from the poised and serious scientist we might expect. Instead, he constantly found himself in hilariously awkward situations. In one instance, he attempted to “invent” a lightning rod, but things quickly went awry as he accidentally shocked himself while trying to power up an apartment complex. Instead of the majestic glow of electricity, all that resulted was a spark of comedic chaos.
This particular Mii had a tendency to wear his lab coat and safety goggles—typical of an inventor—but added a flair for dramatic flair, constantly “testing” inventions that were clearly doomed to fail. His most memorable moment came when he tried to build an electrical chair that only managed to create a loud buzzing sound, sending Miis running for cover. While Tesla’s actual work was revolutionary, this Mii’s antics were more chaotic and far less scientific.
Edison’s “Innovation”
Thomas Edison, often credited with the invention of the lightbulb, was another famous inventor that became a Mii character in Tomodachi Life. However, unlike the tireless inventor who created over 1,000 patents, this Mii seemed to be more focused on…unusual “innovations.” In one scene, the Mii proudly displayed his “new” invention: a glowing rock he called the “Edison Stone.” Of course, it didn’t work as expected and only flickered briefly before fizzling out.
Instead of working diligently in a lab, this Mii spent his time trying to market absurd inventions, from a vacuum cleaner that only seemed to suck up spaghetti to a “time machine” that was essentially just a cardboard box with blinking lights. Despite his “failures,” his enthusiasm was infectious, and Miis couldn’t help but appreciate his quirky approach to innovation.
Da Vinci’s Artistic Disaster
Leonardo da Vinci, the legendary Renaissance polymath, is remembered for his genius in both art and science. In Tomodachi Life, however, the Da Vinci Mii was far less sophisticated. While he still attempted to make grand inventions, his creations were often more artistic disasters than technical marvels. In one instance, the Mii set out to create a flying machine—a nod to Da Vinci’s actual designs for human flight. Instead of designing something functional, however, the Mii built a giant, overcomplicated contraption that did nothing but flail around and collapse on itself, much to the amusement of the other Miis.
The funniest part was the Mii’s pride in his work, despite its clear dysfunction. He would stand beside his creation, nodding approvingly, while the surrounding Miis looked on with skepticism. While Da Vinci was known for his meticulous approach to both art and invention, this Mii’s wild, unpredictable methods were more comedic than groundbreaking.
The Wright Brothers’ Bumpy Takeoff
The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, are known for their pioneering work in aviation, and naturally, a Tomodachi Life rendition of the brothers had to involve a series of funny, failed attempts at flight. This pair of Miis would regularly attempt to build airplanes, using a strange combination of household items like pillows, wooden planks, and even a few inflatable pool toys.
In one of the most memorable scenes, the Miis decided to take to the skies in their home-built aircraft, but instead of soaring gracefully through the air, they crashed immediately into a pile of hay bales. One of the brothers, with his signature goggles and over-the-top enthusiasm, kept insisting that the flight had been a “success” despite the obvious wreckage surrounding him. The other Mii, ever the voice of reason, repeatedly shook his head, muttering, “We need more duct tape.”
Their repeated attempts to defy gravity ended with them creating a series of hilarious contraptions—none of which ever got off the ground. These flights of fancy were a source of endless entertainment for the Miis on the island, and while the Wright brothers are remembered for their actual accomplishments, these Miis were only known for their spectacularly funny failures.
Marie Curie’s Radiation Fiasco
Marie Curie, the famous physicist and chemist known for her work with radioactivity, was another Mii who didn’t quite stick to her scientific roots in Tomodachi Life. Rather than conducting groundbreaking experiments, this Mii was more interested in the visual aesthetics of “radiation.” One particularly funny moment occurred when the Mii decided to create a “radioactive” glow-in-the-dark potion. While the potion was supposed to be a scientific marvel, it instead resulted in Miis running for cover as the concoction turned everything around it a bizarre shade of green.
This Mii’s endless obsession with glowing chemicals and their ability to “change the world” led to some comical situations. From glowing kitchen utensils to radioactive food, nothing seemed to be safe from her glowing experiments. While Curie’s actual scientific achievements were groundbreaking, the Mii’s interpretations were far from it.
The Inventions of Dr. Frankenstein
The legendary Dr. Victor Frankenstein, infamous for creating life from the dead, was another hilarious addition to the Tomodachi Life roster. This Mii was constantly surrounded by quirky, Frankenstein-esque creations, most of which were barely held together with string and tape. One of the funniest moments involved the Mii creating a “new life form,” which turned out to be nothing more than a pile of mismatched body parts from the Miis around the island.
The creation, in true Frankenstein fashion, proceeded to create havoc on the island by stumbling around aimlessly and causing minor disasters. However, instead of being a terrifying creature, the “monster” was an awkward and harmless character that ended up becoming best friends with the very people it was meant to terrorize. The Tomodachi Life version of Dr. Frankenstein was as much a source of humor as a reflection of his more serious, tragic origins in literature.
Conclusion
The beauty of Tomodachi Life lies in its ability to take real-world figures—whether historical inventors or otherwise—and turn them into comedic characters with over-the-top personalities and zany antics. The Miis acting like famous inventors in the game may not always reflect their true brilliance, but the resulting moments are filled with laughter, chaos, and pure fun. From flying contraptions that never leave the ground to glowing radioactive food, these Miis put their own hilariously unique spin on the role of the inventor, ensuring that no matter the result, the journey is always full of laughter.
