Deleted scene from Mario Bros. marriage proposal
So, yeah, that's pretty cute, but who goes to the trouble to actually read if the coins say anything? I'm too busy grabbing the coins to notice if they spell words. I barely notice if they're arranged into an arrow telling me to jump down a pipe. I'm not about to parse eight screens worth of individual letters.
I can imagine the minutes immediately preceding the video.
"Why don't you play Super Mario Bros. real quick?"
"You want me to play Super Mario Brothers?"
"Real quick."
"I thought you were taking me to dinner tonight."
"I am. But why don't you play Super Mario Bros. first?"
"I don't want to play Super Mario Brothers."
"Just one level."
"I don't like Super Mario Brothers."
"Just play one level."
"Are we not going to dinner? Is that what you're trying to tell me?"
"No, we're going to dinner. But just play Super Mario Bros. real quick. Here, sit on this stool. I'm going to put the dog outside."
"Don't put the dog outside. We're about to go to dinner."
Also, the guy seems pretty sure of himself. He actually put the answer ("Yes") at the end of the level.

When I proposed to my then girlfriend I had an entire spiel worked out involving a flat tire and a kind stranger and it would just be a bad situation that turned into a huge surprise, with her realizing that the people coming to help me with the tire were friends and family who she hadn't seen in a while.
The plan started with me saying, "Hey, there should be a flashlight in the glove compartment. Could you grab it and come back here for a second."
She took out the flashlight, opened the window and held it out for me. So I insisted, "Can you come back here?" which elicited a long, annoyed sigh and, "It's on top of the car." at which point she set it down on the roof and started rolling up the window. Helplessly I said, "I'm kind of tied up, can you bring it back here?" which got me a "DO IT YOURSELF! JESUS CHRIST!"
Spoiler warning, the engagement didn't last.

Well at least she dropped you that helpful hint dude. Good thing you got out when you did!

Agreed. You'd hate to have the same conversation on your honeymoon night.

Not sure why some guys get so wrapped up over trying to be clever. I don't see what's wrong with just finding a nice time and place, and asking.

I don't think the dude says the name of the game anywhere.
