Recap / Donkey Kong Country S 1 E 9 Crankys Tickle Tonic

Go To

Eddie the Mean Old Yeti is creating a lot of noise, so much that all of Kongo-Bongo can't sleep! To put Eddie in a better mood, Cranky whips up a bottle of "Tickle Tonic", but has to add the final ingredient before each dosage. While Cranky braves the intensity that is Funky's Flights, DK and Diddy fool around with Cranky's spell books, and accidental send the Crystal Coconut flying away!

Tropes

  • Actually a Good Idea: Funky suggests loading the Tickle Tonic into a snowball and making Eddie eat it. Cranky approves, saying, "A good idea! From you!"
  • Contagious Laughter: When K. Rool accidentally swallows the Tickle Tonic he begins laughing nonstop, then Eddie laughs, then Klump, then one of the Kritters, until Eddie jumps up and down from laughing so hard he accidentally burries K. Rool and Klump in an avalanche.
  • Here We Go Again!: Eddie is cheered up, and stops banging things...only now his laughter is keeping people awake!
    Cranky: Oh no!
  • Insomnia Episode: Eddie's banging is keeping everyone up, the episode revolving around everyone trying to hut him up.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: DK randomly reading a page off of Cranky's book casts a spell that sends the Coconut away.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: Donkey, Diddy, and Funky Kong use a Hurricane of Euphemisms to describe just how tired they are. Our first look at K.Rool has the King using those same terms.
