Once upon a time, there was a poll being held by Gamespot about who was the best sidekick ever, and two of the sidekicks listed were Launchpad McQuack and Albert Einstein. Of course these guys where paired up with characters who were obviously overrated (Tails, Luigi, Midna, etc) and would've easily beaten them, so the goons at Reddit formed up a plan to rig the polls and make it so Launchpad and Einstein would win 'till they got to the finals, and after roughly a week of epic proxy voting, the result turned out into what I have to say is the most epic thing to ever happen in internet history.

Good job my fellow Redditors, you've done an excellent job, until next year! XD
