Did you know that we have a Nintendo Life Discord server? Well, you do now! It's a wonderful place full of video game chatter, Nintendo chatter, Photoshopping our video producer into iconic games chatter — wait, what?
Yes, the Nintendo Life Discord recently came together with one goal, to edit a particularly shredding picture of Alex 'Lovely Person' Olney into the most amusing scenarios possible. As expected, you clever lot did not let us down.
For a brief spot of context, Alex bought himself a small trolly and posted the following picture of him getting to grips with its kick-flip capabilities:
A light bit of fun, but one that soon became a Discord competition for who could take the above pose and edit it into the funniest situation. The prize? Minor recognition. And come on, who doesn't want that?
Below, we have selected some of our favourites, showing Mr. Olney in all manner of familiar locales from Tears of the Kingdom's Hyrule to Splatoon 3's Splatlands. So, sit back and admire some of our readers' best work. (And for the older British among you, slap this tune on in the background.)
We'll kick things off with Jarne, who produced this pair of 1-2-Switch beauties:
Blue Square provided this Smashing duo:
ChrisBen 456 went all out with Chrono Trigger, Doshin The Giant and Sonic Generations edits:
The Goddess Vash4e kept the Doshin theme, albeit one that's a little more nightmare-fuel-y:
Resident Kid Icarus Fan DRC went classic with a Super Mario World number, then shot into the present day with Splatoon 3:
BenChris123 opted for Alex to become one of 'the bros.':
uvgotredonu took some retro inspiration to spice up the original NES Contra box art:
therealbiryani piled on the praise, editing the amazing Alex into, well, Amazing Alex:
And let's round it out with Matl, who not only went for the Tears of the Kingdom and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 routes but also took things to another level with a Pokémon Yellow surfing gif:
Has this whet your appetite for the kind of top-level chatter that we Nintendo Lifers get up to? Come hang out with us on the Nintendo Life Discord for even more!

God they're really milking the Alex franchise these days.
Haha, Alex has gone bonkers!!
I bet that Alex wishes he could stay there with Doshin. 😆 He sure does seem to like Doshin... as do I! I would love to see another Doshin game, or a remake.
Tears of the Nintendo Life Commenters
Can I request for Dance Dance Revolution with Alex Olney as the dancer ? 😆
Oh, wait.
I should do it by myself, the photo manipulation.
Here's hoping Alex and Waluigi Co star in their very own Switch 2 launch title
Can Alex really surf?
EDIT: I just came to the realization, is Alex a minion of that monster in the Chrono Trigger one?
Ooh, that minor recognition was worth the surfing Pikachu gif
Lol this was a good one
This is so funny!🤣
I like the Contra/Probotector artwork the best I guess.
@Matl Good job! 😄
It's moments like these that remind me why I really love the NintendoLife community. Great pics everyone!
I'm just waiting for the Alex Olneyfans.
"Hello there, lovely peep show!"
Alex gets his own gaming series for eel?
All that love! So beautiful!
Gotta love Alex and his brit joviality
Congrats Alex, you've finally made it. You've achieved what I assume is the ultimate goal of every internet content creator; becoming a meme.
oh nyo, not my Alex Doshin being nightmare fuel?!? LOL
This made my day. Thanks for sharing!
Made an account just to say hi so, uhm, hi
Thanks for calling my creations beauties!!!!!!
@Jarne Oh look its Jarne! Hi Jarne!
It's Alex from Nintendo Life here, and there, and everywhere!
@Vash4e Omg it's Vash4e from the nintendo life discord server hi!!
Is there any Alex content that isn’t cringe?
I'm not good enough in Photoshop, but these are the ideas that came to my mind:
-Alex in a Jankenpon match in Alex Kidd in Miracle World
-Alex dodging an attack in Street Fighter II.
-Alex and Kirby about to face a boss in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, either that or Alex is the boss.
-Alex doing an air trick in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
I lol'ed at the Splatoon 3 one. My favorite jokes are the ones that take you a split second to tell what's going on
Well done, everyone involved, model included
@PessitheMystic I sincerely hope not.
Haha, I guess I did ‘go all out’, was a very cool idea. I like the chrono trigger the best of the four I did, but was honestly amazed to see the other contributions, especially the contra one and the surfing gif.
Now everybody shall know I’m actually hiding behind Takoda on this site and don’t go by Chris everywhere nooooo-
I'm currently grieving and this has helped cheer me up immensely xD
Hello there Lovely pictures.
@Yosher Really? I'm surprised people find it too much. I find Alex's jolliness very sincere – genuinely. Bit shocked to find many don't.
@brunojenso Lol don't worry, it was just a joke about how people tend to complain about how certain franchises get milked. I love Alex's jolliness and enthusiasm!
@Yosher Ah sorry – I'm a bit slow sometimes
@brunojenso No worries, so am I. It's all good.
That's more than enough waffling.
Best one as far as I'm concerned.
@AlexOlney how has your day been? hope u have been doing well 😊
Love these! Someone should Photoshop Alex into one of the Rampage games next. XD Or Street Fighter.
Wow I forgot about Amazing Alex, but seeing that picture brought it all back. What a blast from the (not too distant) past. Thanks, therealbiryani
Accidentally the most versatile pose of all time
If you don’t love Alex your place is anywhere but here 🤷♂️
Articles like this remind me how niche and nerdy our hobby really is, but I would not have it any other way.
If ever there was a phrase that needs to be retired, it’s ‘hello you lovely people’. Gets on my nerves, always fast forward to avoid it.
Absolutely hilarious, kudos to all those who made these!
Everyone promptly ignored Alex's suggestion and engaged in much waffling.
You think Alex is just being edited into videogame screenshots?
Think again.
finally, something the community can UNITE over
@Johnny44 Obviously you haven't heard the line nearly enough, because you misquoted it.
