I think the further Donkey Kong stays away from that direction, the better. Yeah, he was briefly 90s cool back during DK64, but you know what else was 90s cool? Sonic the christing Hedgehog. I don't think anyone knew what Rare was doing when they made THAT beautiful piece.ĭonkey Kong has never been a serious character, he's not like Mario who has literally no personality besides "happy or joyful", and he's not as serious as Link in a lot of the earlier games. But the fucking DK Rap is just really funny, and I'm glad its ridiculousness resurged into shitty meme form. Out of all of them, I'd probably say HE is the most annoying.
There's also some cool variations, including Cranky Kong"s "fucking casuals". Like the first time I saw "Feature Length", I might've lost a side. It's not pointing and going "geez, get a load of how corny these lyrics are" for the hundredth time.Ĭ'mon guys, y'all are so paranoid that DK's going to be messed up that we're hating on the memes now?Įxpand Dong images are really funny, really cropping what's fun about the character and adding a bit of silly perversion. It's not the same type of surface-level observation I'm used to seeing when the song comes up. By comparison, Expand Dong was just so off the wall, and there are so many little things about it that amuse me in addition to the initial shock factor.Īs for HE, I can understand why someone who's tired of the DK Rap getting referenced all the time would write it off at first glance, but it feels different to me from all the usual quoting. But taken on its own, it's just the character's name with the vowel sounds mixed up. Someone not knowing fuck about a topic and missing a trivia question about it is pretty funny, and messing with the spelling added just the right touch of absurdity to really set it over the edge.
