"Did ya think about that kingpin?" is the point where I lost it and burst out laughing

[@oliverkromann1902]

1:45 actually true if you saw the series from 1994, King-pin would use his strength to release himself from the restraints of another villain

[@Zer0d00d]

Kingpin saying "Well I've never heard anything like this from Daredevil" feels like a comment on how the Daredevil series made Wilson Fisk a character with a tragic background that grew up to become the menacing leader of a major crime syndicate, whereas the cartoon explanation is more like "Oh, aren't you a chonky boi? Wait, how are you able to crush my spine without gasping from the exertion?!"

[@bigevil1001]

Kingpin's past, his father was always a criminal, but not a successful one. He dragged his son to the life of crime. When Fisk became the kingpin and reunited with his now old father. His father saw what his son became and finally accept him, but Kingpin tells him that his son cease to exist when he left him in prison. Kingpin ordered his men to kill him. His father was horrified and begged for mercy, but he was murdered for betraying his own son. Kingpin really wanted to show his father that he became what his father couldn't. His father would never be part of his son's criminal empire. Kingpin's son Richard went to jail and Kingpin used his father's lessons to sacrifice his son. His son went to prison. I remember at the end, Kingpin look at the picture of his family. He's all alone and all he has left now is his empire. He became worse than his father. He said how long he has to wait till his son exact his revenge. Kingpin now knows what awaits him at the end.

[@TheUnknownGruntProductions]

I cried 11 different times throughout watching this video. Truly Kingpin’s tragic backstory is the greatest in comic history.

[@geardog24]

Calling Kingpin the Eric Cartman of crime might have been pushing it.

[@S0ulGh0st]

Given Kingpin's resources, Cartman would be waaay more evil and ruthless.

[@reefconvy7291]

There's a bit more to Kingpin's backstory than that. As a child, Wilson Fisk was bullied at school for being fat. He started working out to get stronger and stand up for himself. Fisk eventually teamed up with his former bullies to form a gang. He was recruited by crime boss Don Rigoletto as his bodyguard and eventually became his right hand man. But then, Fisk betrayed Rigoletto and killed him. He took over his organization and eventually became the most powerful crime boss in New York City. That's when everyone started calling him the Kingpin.

[@Studoku]

Because of his weight

[@reefconvy7291]

@@Studoku Yes. Because his size makes him super strong 💪

[@Numberonedaredevilfan]

Nah I prefer the funny backstory a lot more so I'll stick with that. I don't come here for serious backstories

[@StarkMaximum]

I find it very funny that "he looks fat but all that weight is actually pure muscle which makes him a physical powerhouse" is the excuse they use for both Kingpin and _Wario._

[@jothecocopop]

That Daredevil joke took me all the way out 😂🤣😂

[@joaoguilhermegomeshaiyashi7793]

For a moment I thought Spider-Man was going to ask:"And after all these years do you finally manage to climb that fire escape?"

[@eineperson9849]

Ah, yes... Not being able to climb up a ladder would also be my villain arc of choice

[@alicedodobirb2808]

You know, I have never been able to climb well...

[@alicedodobirb2808]

🔫

[@Nahyoudontgetthat]

I see a ladder and I’m immediately like….. I can’t see myself climbing this thing….. guess I’ll be a big fat man and run a mob!

[@northwindkey]

Needs the "Climb Ladders Faster" upgrade

[@theendofmyropemydude]

The "it's all muscle" thing might have something to it when you realize he can yeet Spiderman across a room

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

It sounds like BS but it actually isn't pfft!

[@oz_jones]

I remember reading somewhere that his bodyfat% is like 2, lol.

[@espelhogamer]

I totally remember Kingpin saying that "pure muscle" line in the original cartoon lol

[@alchemistofsteel8099]

He is pure muscle. Bro literally throws a car

[@Kenrico13]

I was having a bad day today, and this video gave me a well-deserved laugh. Thank you. That Tom scream at the end was pure gold 🤣🤣

[@TheAdvertisement]

"Well I've never heard anything like this from Daredevil." "Yeah probably because he's blind." Even if Kingpin knew that it's such a good retort from Spiderman.

[@KJgameplay14]

0:56 I know Kingpin is lying here because the trial happening that soon is a fantasy

[@TheAk1292]

Might be the funniest one yet. When Kingpin explains why he became a criminal mastermind or when Spiderman told him he sucked I was in tears. The interaction between them is perfect. The script is funny but it's the voice acting and comedic timing that sells it.

[@restionSerpentine]

Canonically only 2% of the Kingpins boy is fat, He is also Skilled in Judo and hapkido Also I love when a villian participates in healthy activities, like Scrapbooking.

[@Rahhelthethird]

I kinda expected Spider-Man to go: "Prove it!" After Kingpin said it's all pure muscle only to throw him out of the window.

[@R.T.and.J]

That would have been an equally brilliant ending

[@massgunner4152]

He turns into Spiderverse kingpin and down smashes spiderman

[@Rahhelthethird]

@@massgunner4152 Better yet, he breaks Spider-Man's back and he becomes addicted to painkillers. Scarlet Spider takes over for a while only for Peter to come back later after battling his addiction.

[@raulparrado1547]

0:40 "I uh- got older ?" That killed me xd

[@Shaznit]

The silence when he found out Daredevil was blind 😆😆 2:10

[@elitely6748]

I always like to think that the villain's goons just stop and watch the bs unfold. (The bit at the end caught me off guard though.) Great video as always!

[@Goldtiger142003]

That ending absolutely killed my sides. Was not expecting that at all.

[@walufett]

I love how spider says “wait, this isn’t a cartoon” as he’s thrown around by kingpin

[@Abominatrix650]

So that's what he said in that last moment. Thanks!

[@odeiofunkdeputariarum851]

Then spider man lets out a tom scream

[@humanafterallTF2]

Hey, that 90's Peter voice is pretty spot on. Damn.

[@Otzar987]

I feel like the story is just he got mad that he couldn’t climb an actual ladder because he was fat, so he climbed a figurative ladder (while still being fat) to prove a point

[@DarthFhenix55]

1:43 I mean, that's technically true. Kingpin is like the Bane of Spider-Man.

[@alchemistofsteel8099]

I think Kraven is more like the Bane of Spiderman

[@box4467]

I thought it was Venom

[@Duplighost_]

So glad you got Gehrig for this, he’s the GOAT.

[@Muscimologram]

"That's something Eric cartman would say" killed me

[@bigbearkat2010]

I was thinking of Mac in Sunny in Philly during that season of his weight gain

[@SolarFlareAmerica]

Truly dissected the Kingpin in his entirety. Bloody hilarious thanks for this. Also when I saw the thumbnail I couldn't help but hear this kingpin's voice from the show. Roscoe Lee Browne was the BEST kingpin voice I've heard yet, though Michael Clarke Duncan was pretty cool too.

[@PantherCat64]

He couldn’t climb a ladder as a kid, so he climb the ladder to make other people climb ladders for him. Makes sense

[@realowengames]

“We’ve done enough woke jokes” 💀

[@wplays4271]

Oh my god. That scream at the end just killed me. It was so good

[@henryshaw296]

This just reminds me of how amazing the music of the 90s cartoon was. It gave the show this epic epic feel to it. And I remember this episode haha

[@addie1496]

This is so funny to me because this truly was the only motivation the animated series gave for him being kingpin.

[@krinklerstuff8983]

To give kingpin credit, his bulk is ferocious. Man is so strong he can 1v1 Spiderman and Dr. Doom, and not instantly die, AS A REGULAR GUY. NO POWERS OR NOTHING, JUST BULK

[@Zephyrhash2]

How can spiderman not understand Kingpin’s backstory? Not being able to climb a ladder is perfectly synchronous with running all crime in NYC. One of the best written villains ever. I think Solid JJ is just salty he can’t write great stories like Kingpin’s backstory

[@ronskopitz2360]

Hilarious, as always! Thank you, and please keep it up!!
