Tomodachi Life, a life simulation video game for the Nintendo 3DS, offers players a quirky and amusing experience by letting them create Miis—customizable characters—who live in a world filled with over-the-top personalities and humorous interactions. The Miis, which are based on real people or entirely made-up characters, tend to develop odd opinions, form strange relationships, and make laughable decisions as they navigate their virtual lives. While players have control over the Miis’ lives, it’s their insistence on bizarre notions that often leads to some of the most ridiculous and laugh-out-loud moments.
Here are some of the most ridiculous times Miis in Tomodachi Life have insisted they were right:
1. The Great “Food Fight” Debate
In Tomodachi Life, Miis frequently argue over seemingly insignificant matters, and food is one of the top topics of contention. One of the most ridiculous debates involves the Miis passionately defending their food preferences, with some going so far as to declare that their favorite dish is the only correct one.
In one case, a Mii named Greg insisted that pizza was, in fact, a “dessert” and should be eaten after every meal. Despite the fact that pizza is widely known as a savory dish, Greg’s stubbornness was unmatched. He continued to argue that the topping combinations made pizza the perfect sweet treat. “Pepperoni is just like chocolate, right?” Greg argued, much to the confusion of the other Miis. Other characters, like his best friend Fiona, attempted to explain that pizza doesn’t belong in the dessert category, but Greg refused to budge. “You just haven’t had the right kind of pizza!” he exclaimed.
2. The “Watermelon is a Vegetable” Saga
Sometimes Miis take their insistence on being right to truly bizarre extremes, and this was certainly the case when another Mii named Janet firmly believed that watermelon was a vegetable. “I don’t care what the experts say,” Janet declared, “Watermelon grows on the ground, so it’s clearly a vegetable.”
Despite all logic pointing to watermelon being a fruit—given its sweetness, its growth from a flower, and its seeds—Janet was unwavering in her stance. Other Miis tried to intervene, offering their own insights, but Janet simply responded with, “You just have to look at how it grows! It’s not like a fruit.” It was a ridiculous debate that continued for days, with Janet refusing to accept the truth, even after multiple lessons from the island’s best educators.
3. The “I’m the Best Singer” Delusion
Tomodachi Life allows players to create Miis who have unique talents, and the game also includes a variety of songs that Miis can perform. However, some Miis are under the impression that they’re the best singers on the island—even when they clearly aren’t. One of the most ridiculous instances of this came from a Mii named Michael, who insisted he was a vocal prodigy.
Michael often performed songs for his fellow Miis, and while the results were a cacophony of off-pitch notes and screeching, he would demand that everyone recognize his brilliance. “I’m the best singer on this island, no one can top me!” Michael boasted, even though the other Miis would cringe in embarrassment. The other Miis, including his closest friends, would encourage him to keep trying, though clearly, they were not impressed by his so-called talent.
Michael’s refusal to accept that he was not a vocal virtuoso reached a new level of absurdity when he argued that the Miis who “couldn’t appreciate his voice” just didn’t understand true art. “If only you all had a more sophisticated ear,” he huffed, as the virtual crowd dispersed in awkward silence.
4. The “Elevator Rides are Dangerous” Conspiracy
Mii character Blake was known for having some of the most outlandish conspiracy theories on the island, but none were as absurd as his belief that elevators were incredibly dangerous. Despite the fact that everyone used elevators daily to travel between floors, Blake staunchly argued that elevators were rigged traps designed to “trap innocent people forever.”
“No one ever talks about the truth,” Blake would say, shaking his head conspiratorially. “The whole elevator system is a government plot!” Even when confronted with scientific explanations and evidence showing the safety of elevators, Blake would insist that “they’re hiding the real facts from us.” His claims spread like wildfire across the island, with some Miis beginning to question their own elevator usage. It got so ridiculous that some Miis refused to even get in an elevator, instead choosing to walk up countless flights of stairs.
One Mii even organized a protest, demanding that the elevators be torn down, much to the bewilderment of everyone else. Of course, no one could persuade Blake to see reason, and he continued to avoid elevators at all costs, preferring to take the stairs—even if it meant walking for hours.
5. The “Aliens Are Watching Us” Fiasco
Of all the ridiculous beliefs in Tomodachi Life, one of the most absurd was the widespread belief that aliens were observing the Miis’ every move. This belief was introduced by Mii character George, who was utterly convinced that extraterrestrial beings were silently watching the island’s residents.
“I can tell they’re watching us,” George would say, peering nervously around the island. “They’re probably going to make contact soon, but we need to be ready. I’ve been researching it for months.” George insisted that the aliens were somehow “reading” their minds and knew every detail about the Miis’ lives. He believed that the aliens had been influencing the decisions of the Miis and were behind many of the bizarre occurrences on the island.
Despite absolutely no evidence of alien involvement, George’s insistence only grew stronger. He even started holding “meetings” to discuss what the Miis should do in preparation for the impending alien encounter. The idea became so ridiculous that even Miis who didn’t normally engage in wild theories started asking George about his plans, mostly to humor him. However, when the aliens never showed up, George still argued that the signs were there, and the Miis simply hadn’t noticed them.
6. The “Lemonade is the Ultimate Cure-All” Theory
Mii character Olivia was another one of the island’s more eccentric Miis, and her belief that lemonade was the answer to every problem she encountered was an amusing source of frustration for her fellow Miis. “Lemonade cures everything,” Olivia declared, not just for ailments but also for emotional distress, physical exhaustion, and even bad luck.
When a Mii came down with a cold, Olivia would be the first to rush over with a glass of lemonade, proclaiming, “This will make you feel better!” When another Mii was feeling sad or angry, Olivia would present lemonade with a knowing smile. “I told you, lemonade is the cure!” she would insist. Naturally, this remedy did not always have the desired effect, and yet Olivia remained certain that she was onto something groundbreaking.
Despite the Miis growing increasingly skeptical, Olivia’s unwavering insistence that lemonade could solve all the island’s problems became a long-running joke, with the other Miis giving her exaggerated thanks after receiving her “treatment.”
Conclusion
Tomodachi Life is a game full of bizarre situations, and the Miis are often the source of the most ridiculous and laughable moments. From claiming that pizza is a dessert to insisting that aliens are watching them, the Miis’ bizarre beliefs and steadfast determination to be right no matter how outlandish are what make the game so entertaining. It’s this mixture of quirky personalities, absurd debates, and over-the-top interactions that make Tomodachi Life a game full of endless comedy and ridiculousness.
