"I'm Nobody's Hero" is probably my favorite out of all of these. It feels like a genuine song created from DK's personal frustrations, with pure emotion poured into it, rather than just a song shoehorned in to fill up a quota. Not to say the other songs don't slap in their own way, of course.

[@warbossgegguz679]

I mean, there's his voice in DK64 and the other games. It's not like Chris Sutherland never spoke as K. Rool.

I'm actually surprised how sweet DK and Candy's relationship actually is. Even when DK basically wrote her the banana equivalent of "100 bottle of beer on the wall", she still loved it and even danced. She's the type who's worth showering in coconut cream pies for.

[@MrCrazyToad]

Yeah, and then you see how she acts in like 90% of the rest of the show. She calls off dates for one banana peel slip (that wasn't even DK, she just assumes), turns down DK's birthday gift because Bluster acted rude even though DK was completely sincere...there's definitely more.

I like it's just a bad set of circumstances that make her mean. Dead end and lonely job, constant harassment from her boss, few safe places to visit, almost no possibility of advancing personal ambitions, and stuck in the middle of a war that regularly gets in the way of daily living. With a life like that, I see it pretty easy to snap at a doof of a significant other that can easily boch your day or your societies chance of a future.

[@nintendelle]

35:47 Vinny's reaction to the absolute absurdity of this scene is so fucking funny, DK and Candy paying absolutely no attention to Bluster while DK sings his heart out and Candy just jams fucking kills me

[@GamayObera]

@@shadowwake19 This implies that Alestorm is TRYING to be taken seriously. Both Alestom and Gloryhammer are shitpost/joke bands. They're just played-straight loving-parodies of power metal culture instead of constantly winking at the camera like shit like Steel Panther (and are actually talented). And it's an approach I vastly prefer both musically and comically. They did a cover of "You Are A Pirate" ffs, and it's metal AF. With that in mind, I would KILL to hear Alestorm do an arrangement of Gangplank Galleon and Crocodile Cacophony. Those tracks are like tailor made for Pirate Metal covers. The Brawl OST version of Gangplank Galleon even sounds kind of like them already.

[@DarkBowser64]

Exactly the same! I had only watched this for the first time a good 10-12 years ago but I'm enamored with it. The 3D models looking weird fits fine with the time that it released, the music is great, and the voice acting is just iconic in general. Love that it's available on YT to watch for free. It's a perfect turn-your-brain-off lighthearted show with some surprisingly fun personality added to characters that you'd otherwise barely see any lines from.

While I'm not into how off-model everyone is (especially Candy) and I don't get all the changes to the setting and world, I probably would've watched this as a kid.

@@jtlego1 I think Rogen's voice is fitting in terms of tone and pitch, I just wish he did more actual ACTING. Like, bro you're playing a sapient gorilla. At least ham it up a bit more. Bowser and DK might be the most fun Nintendo characters to voice, but Rogen's DK is kind of just him talking like normal. And it's especially noticeable compared to Grant and Takashi's much more over-the-top voices for DK. It's a case where he COULD be a really good DK if he was given better direction, which I hope he is in future projects. As it stands though, I'm still mixed.

Donkey Kong's VA in this show is alright at like voicing DK normally but that man SERVED when it came to singing. He makes these goofy songs actually slap a little. Edit: 'I'm Nobody's Hero' honestly sounds like something you'd hear in like an Adventure era Sonic game soundtrack.

[@SuperMandibleclaw]

Different actors for singing and voicing

[@NahNope776]

Honestly feel like No One's Going to Make a Monkey Out of Me is an underrated banger.

[@iblitz95]

I'll vouch for _Second Banana_ and _All I Want._

[@shizzlebizzfizz]

I never watched a lot of this show as a kid but I remembered the moment I heard cranky's voice I thought that was the perfect actor to do it and would be the voice I hear in my head for him all the time. Same goes for Sonic adventure 1 and "Adventures of Sonic" Eggman voice actors.

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

Aosth eggman is John Bawldry SA1 and SA2's eggman is Deem Bristow

[@warbossgegguz679]

While Mike Pollock just IS Eggman to me at this point, I do feel like John Bawldry's Eggman voice basically informed all subsequent castings.

[@ThelronFjord]

We had this cartoon airing up in Canada on TeleToon (RIP), and there was a time where they would use the music videos as quick filler segments between airing shows. I vividly remember the Pirate's song, and it's still my favorite DKC cartoon song.

[@SykoMuffin]

yes!!! i hated how much this aired lol. the Canadian inexperience is being tortured by this show as a kid.

[@dioyasu5716]

Can’t wait for him to do season 2, that’s when there’s more Donkey Kong songs and they SHINE like Metal Head, Monkey Business, I’m Gonna Be a Star, and You Gotta Let Me Back

[@gameuniverse5973]

Mirror never lies,secret of the crystal coconut,big bog monster,one of you,and Diddy drop song

[@klonoafan2012]

There were only two seasons

[@jtlego1]

Which season/song was it that became the *"BIG LOAD"* meme/gif?

[@F1areon]

also "Be Bad"

[@SykoMuffin]

i’m gonna be a star! like James Dean, or Mr. Bean!

[@dabutterman5024]

Can’t wait for season 2

[@ImmaLittlePip]

Could of sworn there were more songs in s1 like the inka Dinka song and the mirror never lies song

[@Amyntheri]

I was waiting for Big Bog Monster only to be disappointed finding out it's season 2

[@kirbyofthestarsfan]

Won't happen, Diddy sliced up DK in 666 pieces after revealing he was a Kremling all along

[@gordogunso]

Can anyone at least show vinny the final scene in the show where diddy nearly cursed on TV?

[@USMC49er]

If Vinny gets that far, he should watch the final scene of the series finale episode.

[@WadeSilver]

If Vinny decides to continue this, I hope he checks out the "Return to Krocodile Isle" short on KZbin. Awesome fan-made production that doubles as a genuine reunion for some of the show's VAs. Also, "Pirate's Scorn" was covered by a real Pirate Metal band and the same channel uploaded an animated music video for it which also rocks. For all the ironic laughs this show brings, I really do kind of love it. There's something so genuine about it, and I come back to it all the time.

[@Ramperdos]

I was delighted to see Binty's reaction to "I'm Nobody's Hero", it's a masterpiece.

[@chadmanlet5949]

31:40 damn bro you got the whole banana bunch laughing. Its me, im the banana bunch

[@ablancer3582]

They all look like they’re riding home after a bad family argument at disneyland

[@ColinTalboo]

The Kennedys on their way to the nearest car wash

[@iMiyagi]

These are great. A channel by the name of Cranky Kong, has done a great archival service and has these on their channel.

[@memesarekeem]

honestly, I've always had sympathy for this show. There was a clear passion and at least care put into it. It may not look good now, but I think its visual movement and definitely its songs have a lot of charm and effort put into it.

[@warbossgegguz679]

While I find his voice to be extremely unfitting of my fave big dumb swole gorilla boi, there is no denying that DK's singing va has a fantastic voice. A voice too good for this show.

[@Sprech41]

I love how you can tell their rendering software couldn't handle more than 3 characters on screen at once, so any scenes with more than that have the extras standing like statues in the background

[@HannahBanina]

I love Vinny slowly succumbing to these songs (except Diddy’s) actually being kind of charming in their own campy way. And then someone interjects “this is ass” on “No One’s Going To Make A Monkey Out of Me” gtfo lol

[@BigBoy257]

The more I listen to Diddy’s singing voice, the more I like it. Is something wrong with me?

[@vegamonado7562]

When I discovered “I’m nobody’s hero” I was so surprised, not only I was amazed of how good his VA was in the show, and then I got shot because the song was really good

[@sonyPlaytation]

Cant wait for The Mirror Never Lies. That one is such a banger

[@CJ-ln5ov]

It’s so hard to hear Cranky’s OG voice when Uncle Al’s has dominated my brain. “You assholes! That roof protects my sins from god!”

[@LeudieBlues]

Glad we got to see the COCONUT CREAM PIE moment and vin’s reaction to it, the minecart segment is also fun due to how sad the characters looked during that 😂

[@LunaLinkle]

The Alestorm cover of pirate’s scorn is actually awesome

[@nopewmv3377]

I'm the same age as Vinny but I watched the whole series end to end (it was aired in my country on Saturday mornings). That was my first ever exposure to Donkey Kong. After watching this CGI series I played DKC on the SNES expecting that it would look exactly like on TV, was not disappointed

[@Cannabest]

I remember watching this before church on Sundays as a little kid, but only sundays. I can't remember it ever being on any other time lol

[@chadmanlet5949]

I watched the entirety of this show on VHS tapes I begged my father to buy from a rural Ontario Canada General store in the mid 2000s I keep convincing myself it was a fucking fever dream until the VHS tapes randomly appear in my home like they are straight out of the ring

[@somedudewhodraws9377]

From what I know the singer for DK's singing voice is a guy named Sterling Jarvis hes known for his amazing singing talent in alot of media and shows as hes won awards for it IRL. Although Im not sure if hes the OG Voice for DK though and not just his singing voice. Edit: It turns out the Voice Actor and The Singing Actor are 2 different people yet they sound similar its scary :O

[@spunklord5000]

I love Cranky's voice in this it's so phelgmy and angry - it fits too well.

[@ArcRay20]

46:58 "He gave me that look.🎶" "That was dirt in his eye!😠" that exchange got me pretty good

[@Gabe0823]

So glad I witnessed this live. Seeing Vinny witness Coconut Cream Pies for the first time was truly something special.

[@garrettgarner438]

31:22 The family ride home after the Awkwafina scene in the live action little mermaid movie

[@AlphaXVIV]

22:01 here's your pie chat

[@bfnmo7750]

I can't believe Vinny got creampied

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

Thanks doc

[@Rediscool9]

What’s truly bizarre is that a lot of the songs in this show are unironically really freaking catchy and are actually pretty well done at least instrumental wise.

[@luckypasta376]

DK having an absolute dump truck bakery is incredible

[@scraub8913]

I really want him to listen to Season 2's songs, he needs to be faced with an irresistible force.

[@silvore64]

My only history with this cartoon was a VHS I had as a kid and it started with the title "the legend of the crystal coconut". I remembered enjoying this just because.... It was a donkey Kong cartoon of course I'm going to love it. It's one of those semi nostalgia things for me because although I never watched the mass majority of the series the small chunk I did watch at five stayed with me after all these years.

[@clowndogstation4979]

I genuinely hope this is a thing again and we watch all the Season 2 songs, then the Season 3 songs. They're all genuinely great, and I just gotta see Vinny's reaction to Leo Luster and Monkey Business.

[@Mikazuchireborn]

Not gonna lie, I like Cranky's voice here more than the one in Super Mario Bros movie. He sounds older, crustier and just... Crankier.

[@bungieman2810]

22:01 This moment will go down in Vinny history

[@4Wilko]

Pirate's Scorn got that very nice fan animation. That song and I'm Nobody's Hero which I've watched before are pretty good. 07:36 - "Oh no Diddy what have they done to you?" 10:28 - Seth Rogen. 14:11 14:35 - I watched a clip before and I thought Eddie was Homer inspired as well. 21:05 0:21:23 0:22:02 28:05 - Diddy just don't / xxches galore. 31:21 - GIF 33:42 - Good face. 0:34:08 44:48 - Watto solo. 52:16 - *Speen*
