FANTASTIC movie, finding out about Uncle Kong changed my life

[@CarlitoCFL]

I just watched your reaction man.. I'm super glad you enjoyed it bro, it was awesome to see. During the reaction, you mentioned something about a collab. I'm not too sure if that was serious or not, but I would be SUPER down for that. If you're genuinely interested, I've DM'd you on Twitter and it would be great to hear back! My Twitter is @CarlitoCFL Regardless, thank you for watching bro. ❤️

[@jaimeborjasmolina9544]

Don't mind me, I'm just here to say hi to the rest of the Coney fans after he posts his reaction video on KZbin 👋🏼

[@camronh14]

your video sent me here, thank you for that.

[@ThatOneChris007]

The “uk” on his tie could also stand for “uncle kong” 🫢

[@MDLuffy1234YT]

​@@CarlitoCFL YO CHUNKY ISN'T DEAD HE'S IN THE NEW SMB MOVIE!!!!!

[@speedslider3913]

Considering Diddy is Donkey Kong's nephew (the games are a bit inconsistent on if Diddy's actually related to DK or just considers himself DK's nephew, tbf), I'll theorize that Uncle Kong is Diddy's father and Donkey Kong's brother. It makes sense, especially since his primary clothes color is red, and he'd be helping out his son by giving tips in the strategy guide!

[@ArDonkYT]

i was thinking about that too

[@Tarts_34]

I thought diddy and dk was brothers

[@sunettas9738]

Or maybe Donkey Kong Jr. II is Diddy's father?

[@iitvoii]

​@@sunettas9738 Originally, Diddy was going to be designed as DK III's son, but they just made them buds.

[@ZyNye2011]

Kinda ironic considering that Donkey Kong's the uncle.

[@troncdenadal2816]

Tiny Kong: is a small child and literally the second youngest character in the franchise only below Kiddy Kong, who is a baby. Some german Nintendo employee who worked on DK 64's website: Yeah, I'll write that Tiny Kong manages DK Island's finances into the official Donkey Kong lore because why the fuck not?

[@neoqwerty]

I mean given the intellect of the people around yeah I'd probably trust an 8 years old or even a 4 years old over Donkey and Diddy and Funky.

[@katherineedith3065]

I thought Chunky Kong was described as her younger cousin on the wiki despite his size

[@Tornado_Mang]

To be fair, the finances are probably currency in bananas

[@TheNonTripleEntente]

@@yuvalamor6668 wouldent golden bananas be the equivalent to 24 karat gold and bananas of normal money

[@Mordecrox]

And since those magazines stated that Wario has an actual pact with the devil (his name is Abigor by the way), we can assume its canonicity is unquestionable

[@xvidarx]

I think the reason Tiny Kong is taller in later games comes from the fact she can "size-manipulate" herself. In DK64, she can become.... well, "Tiny" by entering a barrel. But what if she could also make herself grow taller to look more like Candy Kong, and found a solution to make it permanent? I think this is the most likely scenario for her differences between older and newer games.

[@unamused2158]

THANK YOU, I've been waiting for a Kong Kollege graduate to give me insight and knowledge about the deep lore of the Kongs

[@kingpeepee]

Donkey Kong has such an underrated side cast. Besides Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, Funky, and Candy, almost all the Kongs are underutilized. I would love to see the rest of the Kongs return in future games. Also Kiddy is best Kong.

[@justinhockstead3551]

I'm pretty sure (based on their character models) that tiny is built more like candy. Walks on two legs, skinny, she was always going to age differently

[@MarkiplierMeatMuncher8]

A good addition to Donkey Kong December

[@mrness12sh26]

Chunky Kong is actually alive and well!! He was in the Mario movie, in the audience with Diddy and Dixie

[@coypandora0795]

Mario movie is set in the 80s

[@mrness12sh26]

@@coypandora0795 Luigi’s mom calls him on a smartphone! How could it be the 80s?

[@MrsKwan-fz6mf]

DK Jr is literally the unloved son. Cranky Kong clearly has a fondness for his grandson. DK Jr was probably disowned or something.

[@MrsKwan-fz6mf]

Also, where is DK Jr's baby momma??

[@excalibrrimcold9354]

With what you said about Chunky's lack of appearances in the DK main games and spinoffs the modern DK rap saying that chunky's dead makes sense.

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGeek99]

Dk has been one of my favorite Nintendo characters learning about the lore and the family tree had always intrest me great video! I subbed!

[@edd_end]

"You've listened to me talk about fictional monkeys for 30 minutes now" hit me so hard, I got whiplash from the revelation

[@somegenericguy2909]

I always get confused on how Mario fought a young Cranky Kong while DK Jr was just a small child, but then was a baby at the same time DK the Third was a baby. So either there's some time travel shit going on or arcade Mario is current Mario's father

[@UberWolfKing]

When you said, "you've listened to me talk about fictional monkeys for 32 minutes now" it really put things into perspective for me about what I was doing on a late Friday night. So I subscribed.

[@ps3controller99]

15:44 made my heart drop since 1.Chunky is my 2nd favorite kong (first is Lanky) 2.The idea of Chunky in that state is just deep and disturbing in my opinion

[@jakemon1017]

This video hasn't gone viral yet. But I know that it will. And that scares me

[@Zorua3]

I fucking lost it at "Cranky Kong might be dead". That was PERFECT delivery.

[@caltontherobot7768]

Kongs I was able to remember and name by hand and mind immediately before this video: 1: Donkey Kong 2: Diddy Kong 3: Dixie Kong 4: Cranky Kong 5: Funky Kong 6: Tiny Kong 7: Lanky Kong 8: Chunky Kong 9: Kiddy Kong 10: Wrinkly Kong 11: Swanky Kong 12: Mankey Kong

[@ryanwinter8813]

It might surprise you to know that the Donkey Kong Country cartoon is actually very well loved in Japan and is one of the few non Japanese made media spinoffs of Nintendo games to actually get official merchandise in Japan. Like Bluster Kong appeared in a trading card game for Donkey Kong 64 even though he wasn't in that game, and there's a lot of toys.

[@jonnyogy2872]

Dope video, I love the part about Lanky! Chunky also is my favorite Kong.

[@while.coyote]

I can't get over how much I love every single one of the every singe series

[@DJ4461]

He has no eyes with which to see His every waking moment is misery He has no mouth and he wants to scream He only wishes it were all a dream And now he wants for you to share his anguish All your hopes and dreams will be vanquished

[@V10L4T0N]

21:53 i like youtubers that just swears casually. Bro nailed it

[@shadicTPZ]

Coney gang, anyone?

[@Daragonal]

Carlito: “a Player 2 recolour can’t be another member of the family!” Luigi: “You forgetting someone?”

[@darkbonnie87fan]

Chunky has come back in the mario movie 2023 But swanky just joined the kong afterlife

[@Mex_Luigi]

As soon as this video started I knew it would be perfect. Nothing matters other than how unhinged DK is as a game franchise and this video reflects that 100%. It doesn't matter if this video is in 4K or 8K or 720p. It doesn't matter what the audio quality is or what the script says. What matters is that this video fully encompasses the feeling of what it is like to know every kong. And it is perfect. It should not be altered in any way, for it would become less perfect.

[@Mex_Luigi]

This is a compliment; Best video ever made, A+

[@Paul-cj2dy]

Dude. Your videos are hilarious. Something about expletive language and classic Nintendo games makes me chuckle.

[@LePetitArtiste09]

Well, maybe it was Mario’s father who fought Cranky. It’s just my little theory, but when you think about it, it explains a lot since in the Super Mario Bros. movie, Cranky fought Jump Man but doesn’t recognize Mario.

[@yourbestpallshawn4139]

“On March 19, 2018 Chunky Kong was found inside his home” Im actually crying rn.

[@hankboog462]

I think it's funny that if we say that fedora kong is his actual name and he is donkey kong Jr, its kinda implied that donkey kong is a familial title and the current donkey kong must rename himself when his successor is of age

[@jellybones4863]

I appreciate you for including chained Kong (Guerilla) whom is a prisoner of War none the less...

[@demontamerbf18]

Found this video randomly on my KZbin main page, it was so good, like, SO GOOD, funny and informative. It's very sad that Nintendo owns all these characters yet they don't use them for anything nowadays.

[@NPGLAMB]

All jokes aside these are some fun character designs

[@Hipnopoleon]

I think that the guy that we fight the arcade dk is mario father, because it dont make sense for mario be so old to make cranky that old

[@WreckItRolfe]

Your recognition of Baby DK in Yoshi's Island DS rules out your theory of DK III as DK Jr's son, as Baby DK is a baby at the same time as Mario & Luigi

[@NewWaveWill]

I’d love to see an every Toad video

[@Vro789]

A reason that was given as to why tiny looks so different is because "younger siblings tend to physically age faster than their older siblings".

[@PikachuGamerSMT]

Tiny Kong is the ONLY? one to mess with the DK timeline? Cranky and DK Junior(Modern DK) age when Mario's the same lol

[@NGWills]

No mention of dk jungle climber which I suppose there wasn't really a need to only really surprised me cause you were so thorough, awesome video keep it up!

[@cmpork7145]

Thank you for taking all the time and effort to expand so much of the Dong for all of us.... Sincerely, the 69th member of the DK Crew, Porky Kong

[@miggy3561]

I went to sleep listening to this and then actually watched it in the morning. Glad to see there's other like me who loves monke game 👍🏼

[@jesumar16]

My favorite line in this vid is, "She fucking dies!" Lmao

[@kilaquill2537]

Mood Govie 👍

[@AS34N]

Damnit, im SO happy i stumbled across your channel. Absolutely hilarious

[@Aladite]

I have been enlightened greatly with all the kongs I've never heard of, and I was so happy you got to jungle beat, it's one of my all time favorite games

[@Supersaurus4]

Never understood why they had Tiny Kong be the only one who actually grew in age and height, while all the rest of the Kongs remain unchanged. It still confuses me to this day

[@clangauss4155]

The second DK Jr player could very well be DK Jr's sibling. That person could grow up to be DK III's uncle, then that person's child could be Diddy. A lot of speculation, sure, but it does fill in a gap that was left before.

[@natashaxatiny3178]

“Mini donkey kong, ok” I laughed too hard at this 😂 good video by the way. Didn’t know there were that many kongs. Chunky is my favorite

[@commanderblackheart5856]

Fun Fact: Funky used to have a tail, but lost it in the gorilla war, meening that he's a monkey, or even a chimpney!

[@antoinevilleneuve7680]

7:10 That is totally gonna be me with this new knowledge that has been acquired

[@mediabaron2416]

I mean... Donkey Kong Junior II could have grown up and become Uncle Kong. He would literally be Donkey Kong III's uncle. Has clearly outgrown the fur dying he was into in his youth, but he's still rocking the pink with that jacket.

[@susiehaltmann3342]

And also Cranky Kong seems to finally be happy in tropical freeze. Yeah hes still well… Cranky. But in the opening he seems genuinely happy when celebrating dk’s birthday. It seems he’s finally getting over his trauma with mario and the death of his lovely wife

[@spacebaselykyber]

My fellow Kongs, Merry Chrysler. 🤝

[@ShinxBOOM247]

0:05 how many kongs can you name right now you say? Well I'll have you know I can name 11 of them off the top of my head with no issues. Fear my awesome... monkey naming prowess, yeah that sounded cooler in my head

[@tylerjohnson990]

I have a headcannon that it wasn't Mario that faced against Cranky in the 80s, but rather his father that went by Jump Man back then.

[@impistderbeste]

the most important thing i learned today

[@neoqwerty]

Thank you youtube algorithm for bringing me this, I needed to hear someone have strong opinions on the P2 recolors NOT being canonical, having played DKC2 on competitive 2P mode and getting into an argument with my cousin over if the recolors are the same Kongs or not. (The argument started with Mortal Kombat having recolors that are their own characters and I swear we spent a whole summer dragging that back up as we tried to 102% the game before school started again.)

[@finckles7213]

DK junior 2, we accept him, we just don’t talk about him. He could be Dixie’s dad, but we’re not getting into that shit.

[@Uay778]

Is tiny is a genius there’s a chance she used science (maybe leftovers from cranky’s lab) to make herself older, it’s not impossible right?

[@hedgehogstatus69]

Monkey Kong was mentioned in the last episode of the DKC cartoon.

[@abc.animal5143]

I think that DK Junior is just a young Donkey Kong, and Cranky is his dad.

[@kingsmithgaming8726]

"He's a recolor of Jr" *slowly looks over at Luigi*

[@robot0boi946]

Monkey Kong was mentioned in the final episode of the Donkey Kong Country show where DK finds a message in the bottle that seems to be for him saying that he needs to be sent to another island to become a proper leader of the kongs but by the end of the episode Cranky reads the letter closely and finds out this was meant for Monkey Kong who has never been mentioned before this or is even seen after

[@ThatOneDude1509]

We need more Fedora Kong hype

[@henrycavil5332]

I'm excited to learn about Klungo next

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

34:43 "Redneck" isn't a slur or anything. It's a variation of the term "roughneck," both referring to getting a sunburn on the back of your neck because you've been working outside. That said, Redneck Kong definitely IS an offensive stereotype of southern USA, and scrapping that guy was a good call.

[@legodonaldtrumps]

technically donkey kong the third's real name is donkey III because later on after you specified that the 'kong' in donkey kong was just a species name and not the "kongs" last name/surname, but im not "teabagging" on your video its a great video. edit: if diddy is donkeys nephew that means cranky is a great grandfather

[@gorfelbt]

Next video: how the economy on dk island works

[@beccacroce7380]

Diddy Kong is to this day, the one and only Kong who has a tail.

[@kingstarscream320]

“There’s a lot of F’n Kings” lol subbed

[@oksanaapodaca8344]

I wish I had friends who wanted to watch this with me

[@charlesbanks67]

Came across your channel recently and just binged your videos. You’re going places, can’t wait to see what you come out with next

[@B3ANDIP]

They gave candy kong some MILKERSSS

[@Kittenfox_55]

I always fancied the idea of more of the Kongs becoming playable characters in Mario spin-off titles like Kart, party and the sports series and we did for like three of them, They are part of the Mario universe seeing as Donkey Kong is a spin off of Mario like Wario is too and I would adore to see Wario Ware characters in those spin offs as well, would be more interesting than the koopalings, random enemies, more babies and Pink gold peach.

[@MrMarston91]

Think I found my new favourite KZbin Channel

[@deskish3930]

DK64 was so weird in terms of characters, Cranky became a mad scientist, Funky the easygoing surferdude turned into a military buff and wrinkly became uh a ghost

[@cannibalisticrequiem]

Perhaps the real Donkey Kong family members were the friends we made along the way.

[@zacharyyoungblood7013]

"A recolor of an arcade character for multi-player can't be someone's brother!!" *laughs in Luigi*

[@Rossiethemonk]

Fun fact : kiddy Kong's name in Japan was actually a reference to the word small , dinky is actually another word for small so his name is technically small kong in Japan.

[@B-ry3]

Growing up I was the first in my neighborhood to have DKC all the kids would ask if they could come over and play "monkey kong". I wonder if enough people called it that so it somehow made it on the kinda kong list lmao.

[@pedrusq6387]

This was amazing. I'm forever changed.

[@XrosProductionsKc]

Great video, you missed the Kongs from Jungle Blast, like Sumo Kong

[@DeadMasterMusic]

Donkey Kong December everywhere this month

[@vinzmtp]

What a kongy video ! I think you forgot Turbo Charge donkey Kong from Skylander supercharger Wii U ! He looks badass

[@ItsAVolcano]

I like to imagine Cranky used the money he charged for advice in the first game to fund his various ventures in the later ones. 😂

[@alexleo-wolf4339]

Chained kong (smrpg), mini kong line (mvdk). Do these count or no? Since the chauned king is a guerrila reskin, and the mini kong line are, well... Toys. But still.

[@n0ctiz456]

This video has changed my life

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

30:19 The old Kong is indeed Kranky, as mentioned when they were revealing the voice actors.

[@Sapphirechao]

Pretty sure there was mention about Monkey Kong in one episode in the TV series, where DK gets a letter that offers some promotion, only to realise that the actual recipient is 'Monkey Kong' and not 'Donkey Kong'. You missed a bit of info about Kiddie Kong about his ability to water skip, and Kiddie also made an appearance in a Mario comic series (iirc he didn't serve much story purpose, he was just kinda.... there?) Anyway I'm certain that the Mario Movie is giving us a field day with fun references to enjoy once it comes out.

[@dzilla4208]

Funny how the Kongs have all aged and had generations of kids while Mario hasn’t aged a single day basically. I’d be pretty salty too if I was the Kongs

[@TKnHappyNess]

Kong Fu only won the contest of the mind. He only forfeited after he heard K. Rool and his goons insulting him due to his fear of the dark during a solar eclipse

[@zachhwilson9193]

I thought tiny kong was an early version of trixie Kong

[@valentinusaurelius2259]

Probably already been mentioned, but "Monkey Kong" was the original name, and either through mistranslation or to avoid copyright infringement, was changed to Donkey Kong.

[@Fleeqness]

I find it so weird that Candy stands on two feet like a human

[@JezElectro13]

has anyone noticed names of Manky Kongs and Lanky Kong? M turned into L, like, is it Luigi and mario reference?

[@PlayingAround4Now]

35:22 Homie was DONE editing this video 🤣🤣🤣

[@lancecruz74]

15:32 And then there’s Chunky. He's dead

[@mcnichoj18]

Couldn't Jr. 2 be Diddy's grandfather?
