The lads hop on Funky Kong’s biplane bound straight for Kongo Bongo as they banana slamma their way through the nightmarish musical that is Donkey Kong Country: The Animated Series. Topics include the origins of televised 3D animation, the staying power of the hit-or-miss songs, and the innate memeability of Eddie the Mean Old Yeti.

I see this pop into my feed and have to ask "how have I literally never heard this was a thing?" I guess the first degree answer is it was neither on Fox Kids (we had the live-action Mario sitcom though), nor a popular subject of the YouTubePoop era, nor something any Nintendo nostalgia listicle/video I've run into ever mentioned... But that still leaves me asking "how?" Well time to learn about it I guess, thanks lads

Leo Curtis

Ok but the R&B love song duet kinda fucking goes??

Ciara Rhiannon

I hate so much that I never knew Cranky Kong is the original DK. Also that means DK Jr. is current Donkey Kong's father? But where is he?? Is he a deadbeat???

Jeff Martin

I used to watch this show as a kid, but it feels like a fever dream.

Jarda

Did not expect to hear Tanz der Vampire slander today (it's deserved but how dare you?!)

Grouchiest Marxiest

Jesus some of the jokes in here so far are RANCID I'm so happy

Dergon

You know those jokes for the terminally online? That's this episode but for TWOAPW heads. AKA, peak.

Nietopyr

Btw everyone the name of the R&B song is "Our Love is Stronger Than a Golden Banana" and it's up on youtube. A bop

Twat Snatch Beaver

David's voice acting in the commercial is so good!!!

John Leavitt

Oh hey my dad is in the live action SMB movie

Elsie Hupp

Don’t forget, though: it’s still copyrighted to wear white gloves.

Wilko

God I love this Pod.

Teague Strekal

Every single clip has had me asking "What the fuck?!" out loud. Great job on this one, gents.

Elizabeth Power

I know absolutely nothing about donkey Kong, but why is he a monkey? As opposed to a donkey,

The Worst of All Possible Worlds

apparently shigeru miyamoto went with “donkey” because they’re famously stubborn animals, but he’s an ape because he’s much like king kong

The Cube of Orbus

Your description of Candy Kong being designed humanish enough to be "attractive" reminded me that the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes exists.........this transgression will not be forgotten.......

Kyle Reesman

Bamboo in PA it’s super invasive

Kyle Reesman

Also k ruel is DK’s step dad and the fighting is how they do father son time.

tworobocops
