General

  • You can always gets a chuckle out of hearing the enemy Kremling death screams in DKC2 and DKC3. "AUGH!"
  • Anything that comes out of Cranky Kong's elderly mouth on the instruction manuals. Some examples...
    "Look at the fancy box. Look at the size of this instruction manual. You don't think they would have gone to all this trouble of[sic] the game was any good, do you?!"
    "In my days we would have been happy to stand guard in the rain, 'cause that might have meant an extra frame of animation! Of course, having rain would have been impossible, given our pitiful processing power, but..."
    "You're only reading this because you're bored!"
    "Does anyone ever actually use these memo pages? Waste of paper if you ask me!"
    "Copy?! Who'd want to copy this game?"
  • Cranky took over NOA's Twitter for a day to answer questions. Things escalated quickly.

Donkey Kong Country

  • The little dance DK and Diddy do in the first game when they clear a level.
  • DK and Diddy falling out and beating each other up at the end of Donkey Kong Country. An example: Diddy bites DK's finger, after DK dropped a merciless punch on the top of the monkey's head.
  • The intro of the first Donkey Kong Country, where Cranky Kong is seen cranking a record player playing the theme song to the original Donkey Kong arcade game... and then Donkey Kong swings down with a boom box playing a remixed version. Cranky Kong angrily shakes his fist at the gorilla, and then throws a TNT Barrel. Cue Donkey Kong's Eye Pop right before it explodes.
  • Diddy's "failure" animation, which consists of him throwing his hat on the ground and stomping on it repeatedly.
  • Admit it, the kredits that show up before King K. Rool reveals he was faking his defeat and attacks you are chuckle-worthy. There's something funny about how a game klaims it was kreated by Kremlings.
  • In GBA remake of the game, once you defeat Really Gnawty, come back to the treehouse, and you'll get a hilarious surprise. Very Gnawty, who you defeated at the first world, would come into DK's treehouse uninvited, then he notices the Kongs, reacts with Oh, Crap!, and then promptly hops away.
  • The Infamous Rambi Glitch from Donkey Kong Country, which shows Donkey Kong humping a Gray version of Donkey Kong thanks to a glitch involving Rambi and the Steel Keg! WARNING! May be disturbing to some viewers!
  • Cranky's speeches consist of Take Thats! to and When I Was Your Age... rants about modern gaming at the time of the game's release. Some examples...
    "We never had any of this fancy 3D stuff! Oh, no, we had to survive on what we had! And what little we did have, we were happy with!"
    "Four shades of gray, in a 2x2 character block, that's all we had."
    "I can't play this game, the colors are all too rich for my poor old eyes!"
    "Why, even the bananas have more frames and colors than I had in the entire game!"
    "You wouldn't last two minutes in a real game!"
    "You know what they say, all graphics and no gameplay!"

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

  • "Rattle Battle" in Donkey Kong Country 2, in which the player spends the level as a giant bouncing coiled snake with buckteeth, bouncing on enemies' heads while the most insane Benny Hill-esque music plays.
  • When you defeat Kudgel in the SNES version of Donkey Kong Country 2, the last TNT barrel blasts him up into the air, and falling back down into the swamp with a loud trumpeting noise. It was replaced with one of Chunky Kong's screams from Donkey Kong 64 in the GBA version.
    • A similar gag is used when defeating King Zing at the end of Krazy Kremland, where he falls to the floor and crashes while sounding like an airplane being shot down.
  • In the Flying Krock battle, any time you successfully throw Kaptain K. Rool's cannonball into his blunderbuss when he uses vacuum attack, it explodes into his face, resulting in him getting the Ash Face and comically blinking twice before he shakes off the ash.
  • In the beginning of the Krocodile Kore battle, K. Rool is covered in seaweed from when he fell into Krem Quay, which he quickly shakes off. He then fires his blunderbuss, but all that comes out is a bunch of fish, which causes K. Rool to make his "Oops!" face before starting the battle for real.

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

  • In Donkey Kong Country 3, after beating KAOS for the second time, K. Rool appears and says "Oh no! My wife is going to kill me! I used all her best pots and pans to build him!"
  • The ending of Donkey Kong Country 3, which has the mother banana bird chasing after K. Rool on a hovercraft around the overworld, eventually dropping a giant eggshell on his head, followed by Dixie and Kiddy Kong. And then Cranky Kong is riding a jet ski in the background, until you hear the motorboat it’s connected to stop and speed up, exploding off-screen. Cranky then resurfaces in the foreground holding a wet sign that says THE END.
  • While the first games held an impromptu parade to show off the cast at the end, DKC3 had their photos taken. Baron K. Roolenstein tried to make a stern face for the camera, the shutter wouldn't go off. K. Rool kept trying to turn on the camera with his remote, and when the picture was taken, it caught K. Rool making that silly pose he made every time you struck his helipack with a barrel.
  • Bleak's freakout when he takes his last hit, where his crazed laugh goes out of control to becoming extremely high pitched before he explodes. Sadly, only the SNES version kept this; it's replaced with a Chunky Kong scream in the GBA remake which was also used by Kudgel and K. Rool.

    Animated Series 

  • "Bad Hair Day" kicks the series off with quite possibly the funniest gag in the entire cartoon: The doppleganger Candy Clone gives DK a haircut, which involves shaving the top of his head. The idea of DK going almost a whole episode bald on top is funny enough on its own, but it gets even better because, as it turns out, the top of his head isn't just curled because of his hair; his skull is actually shaped like that.
  • "Kong Fu" has a gag where King K. Rool is quizzing Kong Fu for the Contest of The Mind.
    K.Rool: What runs, but never gets out of breath?
    Klump: Oh! Oh! I know! You and your long-winded speeches! [dramatic sting while K. Rool gives Klump a murderous look]
    • Klump and Krusha singing with feminine voices in "I'm the Kong Fu Master".
  • In "Klump's Lumps", Klump is fired by King K.Rool and replaced by Krusha. As a test, K.Rool points out a barrel and asks Krusha to figure out whether or not if it is an exploding barrel...
    Krusha: I can find out... [the barrel explodes in his face] It's an exploding barrel, all right...
    K.Rool: [sarcastically] Oh, goody! Blind obedience! Oh look, General! Another barrel!
  • Bluster's panic attack when he thinks his hair is falling out in "Hunka Hunka Burning Bluster":
    Bluster: There, how could Candy possibly resist me now? [looks at comb] What's this...? Hair?! MY HAIR?! AAAHHHH! MY HAIR'S FALLING OUT!
    [later]
    Bluster: I can't use this. So what if I've lost a bit of hair? [looks at comb again] AAHHHH! MORE HAIR! I'M SHEDDING!
  • Diddy in "Get a Life! Don't Save One!":
    Dixie: I'm looking for my pet crab, Dids. I can't find him anywhere.
    Diddy: Ah, never fear, Diddy's here! Just show a hors d'oeuvre plate in front of me and I can find a crab with my eyes closed. HERE, CRAPPY! CRAPPY! HERE, CRAPPY, CRAPPY!
    Dixie: It's Crabby!
    • Another moment is when Bluster tries to stall King Rool and his goons to go through their plans by singing "101 Banana Bunches on the Wall". Even more funny it actually works! Even K. Rool's goons join in! K. Rool looks bored stiff as the song reaches the end... and then Bluster announces "One more time!" and everyone happily begins singing again, King Rool gets angry after one verse and yells "THAT'S ENOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!" The way he yells is as good as it always is, and the way Bluster and the goons all freeze mid-dance is also a riot.
  • In "Double Date Trouble", King K. Rool's troops are loudly chanting while approaching the Crystal Coconut in what is meant to be a sneak attack. K. Rool's reaction?
    K. Rool: [with the fury of an exploding volcano] I SAID QUIEEEEET!
  • K. Rool's annoyance with Klump's jumping-jacks dance in "Orangutango":
    K. Rool: Once again, I, King K. Rool, have done the impossible. What do you think, Klump?
    Klump: [does his jumping-jacks dance]
    K. Rool: I wish you wouldn't do that!
    • Leading to this payoff when K. Rool wins a wish on the Coconut:
      K. Rool: Now let me see, what do I want? To be ruler of all of Kongo Bongo Island? That sounds good...
      Cranky: It's not your fault, Donkey Kong.
      Klump: [does his jumping-jacks dance]
      K. Rool: I WISH YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT!
      Klump: [immediately stops dancing, to K. Rool's horror as he realizes what he just said]
      Cranky: Hahahahaha! Looks like you got your one wish, K. Rool!
    • And there's also this exchange between him and Klump when Krusha is destroying the lair with his terrible dancing:
      K. Rool: He's a natural... disaster, that is!
      Klump: Deploy the tranquiliser darts, sir?
      K. Rool: No! Kill it!
      Klump: [sounding very shocked] Um... Does he get any last words?
      K. Rool: The music, you militant mush-head!

  • Klump pushing K. Rool's Berserk Button by messing up his computer game in "Buried Treasure".
    Krusha: Only 500 more points to beat your record, your croc-ship.
    K. Rool: Come on, come on, come on!!!
    Klump: [appears on the computer, erasing the game] General Klump, King K. Rool! Y'read me, your high 'n mightyness? ...Looking a little pale there, chief!
    K. Rool: NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [smashes the computer]
    Klump: [calling on cell phone] Chief? You there, chief?
    Krusha: Uh, it's for you, your highness.
    Klump: Seems we had some sort of interference.
    • Then, when K. Rool sets off, Klump keeps trying to contact K. Rool who orders Krusha to "take care" of the phone. Cue Krusha jumping up and down on it.
    • Also the frequent interruptions to Cranky's vacation. To start with, he first gets attacked by a swarm of bees. After he traps the bees in a bottle of banana soda, his sandwiches run off.
    Cranky: ...Ants! First bees, now ants! Blast! (Gives chase) Come back here, you thieving insects! Uurrrroarrgggghhh!
    • King K. Rool ordering Krusha to grab a mine cart and the latter leaving without K. Rool! Cue K. Rool chasing Krusha ("Not without me, you thick-headed tadpole!") and crashing into the cart offscreen ("Signal your stops!")
    • Dixie Kong, Krusha, Diddy and Funky just grooving to the second song and when Bluster says the thought of his demise displeases him and that self-preservation is the key, Funky turns around and gives him a "Dude, really?" look.
  • In "Cranky's Tickle Tonic", Funky is flying Cranky to the White Mountains to administer the titular tonic to Eddie, the Mean Old Yeti. Unfortunately, the engine from the plane is so loud Cranky's instructions can't be heard.
    Cranky: This is too much for me!
    Funky: What? I can't hear!
    Cranky: I said put this crate down!
    Funky: Upside-down? Excellent!
    (The bi-plane flips over, causing Cranky to drop the flask)
    Cranky: No! The Tickle Tonic!
    Funky: Super-Sonic? Comin' up!
    (The bi-plane goes into a downward spiral, and by sheer chance, flies by the falling flask for Cranky to catch)
    Cranky: Got it! (To Funky) That was too close! If you do that again...!
    Funky: Again? Cool!
    • Later, when they've reached the White Mountains;
    Cranky: I think I just spotted Eddie!
    Funky: I am ready, dude!
    Cranky: Not 'ready'! Eddie!
    Funky: Not ready yet? Just say when!
    Cranky: Isn't there something you can do so we can communicate!?
    Funky: (Turns off engine) All right. So, let's communicate.
    Cranky: What did you do?
    Funky: Turned the engine off.
    Cranky: Then what's holding us up?
    • The contagious laughing fit that results from King K. Rool accidentally swallowing the Tickle Tonic snowball.
    • When Cranky and Funky first find Eddie;
    Funky: Chill out, ice dude, and cut the decibels! You're stressing everybody out! Not cool!
    Eddie: Me cranky!
    Cranky: No, I'm Cranky!
    Funky: Welcome to the club, cranky-dudes! I'm cranky, too!
    Eddie: Me cranky-est!
    Cranky and Funky: And he's got the club!
    Eddie: Rrrraaaa- Huh? (Cranky and Funky are gone) Rrrraaaahhh!
  • Bluster trying to vote twice in "Vote of Kong-fidence":
    Bluster: May I have another [vote]?
    Cranky: Sorry Bluster, one vote each! That's how it works.
    Bluster: You mean I get the same number of votes as him?! [pointing to Eddie the Yeti] And you call this a democracy!
    • Though DK and K. Rool tie in the election, Bluster learns to his horror he only got one vote. He protests since he voted for himself and he saw his mother voting earlier... before realizing who she voted for — or rather, didn't vote for — causing him to run away in shame.
    Bluster: [distraught] ...my own Mumsie didn't vote for me!
    • The tiebreaker is revealed to be Krusha, and when he learns this, K. Rool joyfully and maliciously giggles since he assumes that his soldier will vote for him. But then Krusha votes for DK due to him having kept an earlier promise to not hit him while stealing the coconut. While the Kongs celebrate DK's victory, Krusha is forced to flee with a furious K. Rool chasing him, angrily demanding to know how he could do this to him.
  • The Ho Yay during "Four Weddings and a Coconut".
    Klump: Did you hear that?
    Krusha: Uh, hear what?
    Klump: "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"!
    Krusha: Me?
    Klump: No, you non-commissioned nincompoop! Donkey Kong!
    Klump: NO! Donkey Kong's getting married! We gotta tell King K. Rool immediately!
    (later...)
    K.Rool: Who did you say was getting married?
    Krusha: Me and Klump.
    Klump: Never mind him, sir.
    • K. Rool is excited for the wedding since he thinks he's going to be a pampered guest of honor being the king of his Kremlings. He puts on a ridiculous top hat and begins practicing his dancing. He tries dancing with Klump after he suggests attacking the wedding, snarking that he's not much of a romantic. Later, Klump and Krusha are trying to learn to dance and Krusha steps on both Klump and K. Rool's feet, causing them to scream in agony.
    • From the same episode, when K. Rool thinks he hasn't been invited to the wedding:
      K. Rool: They didn't invite me?! Oh, that's so unfair! What's wrong with me?! Haven't I always tried to be a good enemy to Donkey Kong?!
      Klump: Uh, permission to invite you as my date, your party-pooper-ness?
      K. Rool: NO, NO, NO! Now they've insulted me! I wouldn't go to that wedding if they begged me to go!
      Klump: Well, I'll save ya a piece of weddin' cake, sir.
    • Of all the reasons K. Rool would have to try to steal the coconut, this episode's reason is simply him being angry that he didn't get invited to the wedding. He's a big, fat baby about it the entire back half of the episode and comes across more like he's a jilted lover who is upset at not getting married himself.
    • Candy, out of frustration with DK seemingly standing her up at the altar, angrily decides to get married to Bluster on the spot despite not loving him because she's become obsessed with the idea of getting married. Bluster rolls with it until Cranky comes to the part in the vows where the two are to care for each other through wealth and poverty - and Bluster stops him and asks to go over that part with his lawyer.
  • From "Raiders of the Lost Banana":
    • The whole "Curse of the Golden Banana" number. While this could be said of every musical number, the real fun is just how sudden and out of left field it is. It starts with Diddy launching into this outrageous dance, with DK and Cranky following suit. Then there's this exchange:
    Cranky: (Standing under an inexplicable spotlight) The curse will bring the destruction of the entire island, and there'll be no bananas left for you to eat!
    DK: No bananas!? (Does an incredibly rigid Face Fault).
    K. Rool: Think of the possibilities, Klump. Do you realize the things I could do with the Crystal Coconut in one hand and the Golden Banana in the other?
    Klump: Um... juggle?
    K. Rool: NO, you lunkhead!
    • Also, this dialogue after the curse of the Golden Banana causes Bluster's Barrelcopter to crash into Cranky's cabin;
    Bluster: The Barrelcopter! Mummy'll be livid!
    Cranky: Tell her to take a number. I was livid first!
    Candy: What about me?
    Bluster: What about you?
    Candy: I'm livid!
    Cranky: You can be livid later, now get this thing out of my house!
    • K. Rool's Laser-Guided Karma when Polly Roger steals the Golden Banana and brings it to the factory. Cranky was right when he said whoever takes the Golden Banana with ill intent "better beware."
  • The entirety of "Bug A Boogie," as DK, Diddy, Cranky, K. Rool, and the pirates trick each other repeatedly through pranks.
    • The same episode has King K. Rool demanding Krusha to abort their current mission in order to partake in a new one. When Krusha tells him he's unable to, Rool vents out his frustration at him in one of the most over-the-top deliveries of all time. It truly has to be seen to be believed.
      K. Rool: KRUSHA! Abort the mission, and come back to headquarters immediately!
      Krusha: I...can't.
      K. Rool: (jumps really high into the air) WHYYYYYYY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT?!
      Krusha: Somethin' bad happened. (view zooms out to show Krusha is up to his shoulders in mud)
      K. Rool: (Growls in frustration, still hopping mad) Then find Klump, and tell him to get his leathery hide back here immediately!
      Krusha: KLLLUUUMMMPPP! (Camera pans to show Klump is right next to him, also in the mud)
      Klump: You don't have to shout! (notices the feed with K. Rool is still open) Ah! Uh... Oh, hello there, sir! Everything, um... Under control here!
      • From the same episode, we have Cranky telling DK and Diddy what to do with the "amulet".
        Cranky: Go to the Forbidden Forest, and hide it in the Well of Woe.
        DK: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA! (stammering) No way am I going to the Forbidden Forest of Kongo-Bongo!
    • Also from the same episode, there's the entirety of the "Big Bog Monster" song. DK is one hundred percent serious as he dramatically describes the monster in detail, flailing around a completely bored and unimpressed Diddy. Towards the end of the song, the tempo gradually speeds up as DK grows increasingly terrified, culminating in him half-singing, half-babbling the lyrics at rapid pace before Diddy finally sneaks up behind him and screams at the top of his lungs.
  • In one episode, DK and Diddy borrow Funky's plane. It goes off the tree house runway...and falls straight down, then flies all over the place.
  • "The Legend of the Crystal Coconut" has every villain being reluctant to do anything bad because it's a bad villain day. Murphy's Law does indeed strike.
    Klump: Sir! General Klump reporting. I have some news, and it is in the A-1 rank of importance!
    K. Rool: Klump! Didn't I say no news, no calls, no tyranny until tomorrow!? It's a bad villain day!
    Klump: But sir, I really think this will cheer ya-
    K. Rool: Listen, you incompetent cretin! I want to be left alone! That means no one! Nothing! No interruptions!
    Klump: But sir, I really think you're gonna like this news as it's regardin' the Crystal-
    K. Rool: GO AWAAAAAY!
    Klump: .... Guess we give the Crystal Coconut back to Donkey Kong.
    K. Rool: (suddenly lowering his platform to ground level) Crystal Coconut?!
    • When K. Rool has gotten rid of the Crystal Coconut under the false assumption that there's a trick afoot, he breathes a sigh of relief. Then Donkey Kong bursts in trying to get the coconut back:
      K. Rool: I hope those two homespun idiots have gotten rid of that cursed Crystal Coconut! It's already been a bad villain day—
      Donkey Kong: BANANAAAAAA SLAMMA!
      K. Rool: (completely deadpan) Oh, great.
      Donkey Kong: Uh, I want the Crystal Coconut back! Uh, please.
      K. Rool: You want it back? You. Want. It. BACK?! Oh, of all the stupid... You mean I had the Coconut and I- I cannot believe it- Is there no justice!?
    • Followed by Skurvy giving his speech the third time; by this point, even he's bored of it! The last line in itself is also funny when you remember that, in DKC2, K. Rool styled himself as Kaptain K. Rool... a pirate.
    Skurvy: Avast ye!
    K. Rool: ...And who are you?
    DK: Oh, not again.
    Skurvy: Arr, Kongo-Bongo Island, family heirloom, yada-yada-yada, claim me birthright, great-great-Grandpappy, pity the landlubber shark-bait what stops me, yyyyyyyyada-yada-yada-yada. (Beat) What was the next part?
    DK: Uh, your tooth?
    Skurvy: Oh, yeah. OW! On my honor, grant any favor, yada-yada-yada, swamp-suckin'-scallywag to rid me of this OWWWW toothache, doing what pirates do best, STEAL BOOTY. (sigh)
    K. Rool: Pirates don't honor anything! They're pure scum, who steal booty!
    • The montage of Klump and Krusha being kicked out of the tree house as they try to return the Crystal Coconut. When they finally manage to deliver it, Cranky takes it... and slams the door in their faces.
    Cranky: Well, whaddya know... (SLAM!) It wasn't a trick after all!
    • And the payoff, after DK knocks out Skurvy's tooth:
      Skurvy: Why, you-! Hey, my toothache's gone! Well, blow me down! Har har! And shiver me timbers! It's turning out to be a good villain day after all!
      Cranky: Not so fast! According to your great, great, great pirate oath, you owe Donkey Kong a favor!
      Skurvy: No, no no! I'd be walkin' the plank before I-
      Cranky: No, no, no, I heard you loud and clear. You said, "On my honor, I swear on the great, great, great pirate oath, to grant..."
      Skurvy: Okay, okay! I can't bear to hear it again.
    • DK briefly forgets the favor he's supposed to ask for.
      DK: Well, I was looking through the new Monkey Bars catalog, and I was thinking—
      Cranky: You knucklehead, the Coconut!
      DK: Oh, yeah... (laughs sheepishly) I forgot.
    • After DK gets the Coconut back, he and Cranky leave Inka's temple.
      DK: (to Inka) I will be back; you can count on it!
      Inka: (in his usual ominous voice) Whaaaaaaaaateverrrrrrrrrr!
    • And where are Klump and Krusha by the end of this fiasco?
      King K.Rool: Where in the world could those homespun idiots be with my Crystal Coconut?!
      [cut to Skurvy’s ship sailing off. Klump and Krusha are hiding in a couple of barrels onboard]
      Klump: When the coast is clear, we jump outta the barrels, steal the Crystal Coconut back, and swim back to shore.
      Krusha: Uh, I can’t swim.
      Klump: Well, why didn’t you say so before we snuck onboard?!
      Krusha: Uh, you never asked.
    • Then, on the Legend of the Crystal Coconut VHS, we get this narration from Donkey Kong after the events of the episode:
    Donkey Kong: So, eventually, the pirates got back to their ship, and that's when Klump and Krusha got off. The hard way. Haha!
  • Despite its cliched premise, The Big Switcheroo, is amazingly funny, particularly surrounding the flip between Candy and Klump:
    Klump!Candy: You'd better not have damaged that body, you slimy tadpole!
    Candy!Klump: You call this a body? I eat pretzels fatter 'n this!
    • Heck, even the head-pun scene is So Bad, It's Good.
    • Then there's this exchange when Cranky realizes what happened to the robot he built for Bluster.
    Cranky: You're never going to believe this, Bluster. DK and the robot have switched brains. The robot has DK's brain!
    Bluster: In that case, I expect a discount. (Miniature rimshot)
  • In "Ape-nesia", when K.Rool, Klump and Krusha are spying on Pirate!DK:
    K.Rool: So that's it! There's the reason Donkey Kong took my throne!note 
    Klump: Uh, he, um... wanted a seat?
    K.Rool: NO, you knucklehead! For some reason, Donkey Kong thinks he's a pirate, so he's pirating everything that's not glued down!
    Klump: Well, maybe... he's "brainy-washed"!
    K.Rool: Something only you could be immune to...
    Krusha: He-He could be, uh... "hyp-potized".
    K.Rool: WHATEVER!
  • In "Barrel, Barrel... Who's Got the Barrel", DK and Diddy are looking for the barrel containing the Crystal Coconut in the White Mountains and meet Eddie the Mean Old Yeti, who is hitting a barrel with a stick.
    Eddie: Heavy stick, good grip. For Eddie, way too small!
    Diddy: Hey, friend, you found our barrel, mister uh, mister...?
    Eddie: Ed-die.
    Diddy: Ed-die, as in... the Mean Old Yeti? Oh, eh-heheh...
    DK: Uh, Mr. Meany, I mean, Eddie, Sir Yeti, heheheh. That's our barrel. We'll just take it and be on our way, okay?
    Eddie: No! Eddie get bonked on head by raining barrel! It mine!
    DK: You can keep the barrel! We just need what's inside.
    Eddie: It mine! All mine! (runs off with barrel)
    Diddy: So that's Eddie the Yeti?
    DK: Uh-huh. And he's got the Coconut.
    • At the end, after K.Rool's latest scheme has been foiled, and the Crystal Coconut has been returned. Donkey Kong questions the logic of keeping the Coconut someplace so accessible, but Cranky waves him off.
    Cranky: Nah, as long as I carry a big stick, no one will mess with me!
    (Eddie bursts through the door, club in hand. DK, Diddy, and Cranky make Oh, Crap! faces.)
    (Cut to the outside of Cranky's cabin.)
    Eddie: Me, Eddie! (Cabin begins shaking)
    DK, Diddy, and Cranky: The Mean Old Yeti! Auugghh!
    • Right before that, there's K. Rool angrily chasing Klump into the horizon while comical chase music plays.
  • The entirety of "Just Kidding," which involves Cranky playing pranks on DK, Diddy and Candy. After DK gets the Crystal Coconut back from K. Rool by pranking him that the Crystal Coconut is cursed, DK trips and drops a fake Crystal Coconut, and the fake Crystal Coconut breaks, and Cranky thinks that the island is doomed, and his reaction is priceless.
  • The song "Be Bad" from the episode "Hooray for Holly-Kongo Bongo," where Donkey Kong decides to play against type as a bad guy in the movie. The song is altogether hilarious, but special points go to King K. Rool's part:
    King K. Rool: I never tip, I butt in line, I never clean the dishes and it suits me fine.
  • "The Big Chill Out" has Donkey Kong deciding to start a business in a bid to impress Candy. Cranky isn’t convinced:
    Cranky: A business?! You got no business going into business! You’d lose your shirt!
    DK: That's okay, I don’t wear a shirt!
    Cranky: (snidely) Then you’d lose your tie.
    (DK reacts in horror)
  • Cranky's reaction to the lines Bluster feeds him for a commercial.
    Cranky: "Bluster Barrelworks...because their barrels have been around forever...and I should know 'cause so have I"? What kind of crock is that!?
  • This edit of the final episode.
    Diddy: Then why did I use up my best material on this shi- (Credits roll abruptly)
  • "A Thin Line Between Love and Ape" has Cranky in top form when Bluster drops by.
    Cranky: (Sees Bluster strutting up to his cabin.) Hmm, what would that blowhard Bluster want from me? (Cranky swings the door open before Bluster can knock) WELL?
    Bluster: I came here to talk Cranky. Isn't that what friends are for?
    Cranky: Yes you're right! That is what friends are for, but that still doesn't explain why you're here...
    Bluster: Please! You know how I feel about Candy...
    Cranky: More importantly, I know how she feels about you!
    • When Cranky realizes he's been tricked and returns to his cabin with Donkey and Diddy, he's so exhausted from running both ways that he can barely speak, trying to demand answers from Bluster anyway. Diddy has to translated his gasps for him.
    • Bluster's Villain Song as he prepares his love potion is cheesy and romantic and also hysterical. Also just how blind he is that Bluster is willing to force Candy to fall in love with him, her free will be damned. His song also reveals that he just wants her to bring home to meet his mother and to be his happy housewife. It turns out that his song is non-diegetic and the Krocs hear it from outside.
    • When K. Rool seizes the potion, he sends Krusha to take care of Bluster, who can only cry and squirm as Krusha beats the crap out of him offscreen and shoves him into a barrel. Bluster can be heard crying for his mother.
    • K. Rool tests the potion on Klump, who begins rapturously declaring his love for his king on the spot. K. Rool is pleased until Klump gets too forward, leading him to fearfully call Krusha to knock his general out.
    • Once DK catches up with Bluster to confront him over brewing the love potion, Bluster sheepishly lies that he'd never do that. But once DK leaves, he's back to villainously declaring that Candy will be his once he brews another batch of the potion. What a coward!
  • The punchline: After all is said and done, who gets hit with the last dose of love potion? Bluster himself...while looking at a mirror! The episode ends with him surrounded by mirrors, preening and flirting with himself.
  • The song "Our Love is Stronger Than a Golden Banana" is romantic, yes, but the moment you hear the line "I shower you in coconut creampies" coming from DK's mouth there is no doubt that there will be laughter.
    • Not helped is how he briefly wiggles his eyebrows suggestively.
