Co-founder of RedLetterMedia and the deadpan voice behind the Mr. Plinkett reviews and Half in the Bag.
Mike Stoklasa is an American filmmaker and YouTuber based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and a co-founder of the independent video production company RedLetterMedia. He is best known for the long-form Mr. Plinkett film reviews — starting with the 70-minute 2009 critique of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace — and for co-hosting the movie-discussion show Half in the Bag with fellow RedLetterMedia co-founder Jay Bauman.
Keeps emotions tucked away inside but has a rich inner life. Introspective, independent, and deeply thoughtful.In Tomodachi Life, set this Mii's sliders so Speech + Movement totals 0–3 and Thinking + Energy totals 0–3. See the full Observer guide →
Why this fitsMike's on-camera persona is dry and analytical — he watches a movie, cracks a beer, then dissects it for an hour with minimal physicality and a flat affect. That quiet, watch-and-think profile fits Observer (low Speech + Movement, high Thinking + low Energy).
To make a Mike Stoklasa Mii in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, open Mii Maker and shape a middle-aged face with short receding brown hair, a trimmed scruffy beard, square glasses, and a deadpan flat-line mouth. The picker-by-picker walkthrough below works for both Nintendo Switch (LTD) and 3DS (original Tomodachi Life).
Use the system Mii Maker, then bring the Mii into Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.
Diagrams show where the option sits in the Mii Maker picker (4 columns, scroll to reach later rows). Editor menus differ slightly between regions and console revisions — if an exact option is missing, pick the closest one.

This is a 3DS-format Mii QR code generated from Mike Stoklasa's Mii data. On a Nintendo 3DS, open Mii Maker → QR Code / Image Options → Scan QR Code and point the camera at it, then bring the Mii into the original Tomodachi Life. The Switch / Switch 2 has no camera, so it can't scan Mii QR codes — for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream use the step-by-step instructions above (or the online Mii creator).

Feature → the move to make in Mii Maker
Short, receding brown hair kept close-cropped — nothing styled or voluminous.
A scruffy, light-brown stubble beard rather than a clean shave or a full beard.
His most identifiable accessory — square or rectangular frames. Pick the plainest squared glasses Mii Maker offers.
Deadpan is the whole point — choose a flat, level mouth and relaxed brows for his dry, unimpressed register.
His Mr. Plinkett review of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, released in 2009 and running about 70 minutes, went viral and passed a million views in its first four months.
He adopted the Harry S. Plinkett review persona because he felt his own voice "sounded too boring" for narration.
He founded RedLetterMedia in 2004 — years before the reviews broke out — and the company is now based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Half in the Bag, his long-running review show with Jay Bauman, premiered on March 12, 2011, with the two playing lazy VCR repairmen who discuss movies.
An Observer Mike is the island's quiet analyst — Observers sit low on Speech and Movement but high on Thinking, so he hangs back, watches the chaos unfold, and forms a dry opinion about all of it. Pair him in an Apartment with a like-minded resident and they'll get along easily, since Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream gives Miis with similar personalities an easier time as roommates. Just don't try to engineer his romance: the game decides crushes through dating preferences, random chance and birthday/zodiac compatibility — never personality — so his love life stays as unpredictable as a movie he hasn't reviewed yet.
Observer fits best — low Speech + Movement with high Thinking and low Energy in the personality panel above. It matches his on-camera register: he watches a film, then dissects it for an hour with minimal physicality and a flat, analytical affect.
The glasses and the deadpan. Square frames plus short receding brown hair and scruffy stubble get you most of the way; finish with a flat, level mouth rather than a smile, since the dry, unimpressed expression is what reads as "Mike."
No — his look is entirely buildable with standard parts. Square glasses, short receding hair, light stubble and a neutral mouth are all in Mii Maker, so no workarounds are needed; the personality carries the rest on your island.
