The Donkey Kong Country cartoon is fighting with the Kirby Anime on the status of my favorite Nintendo cartoon. The DK Country show premiered on Teletoon (the Canadian Cartoon Network) in 1997, and aired on the FOX Family Channel from September 1998 through May 2001. The show didn't do a good job of adaptating the DKC games, but that was probably because only the first two DKCs were out when Nelvana worked on the show. The guys at dkvine.com hated it, but I've always like the DKC show better than the DKC games, and I think the only thing that can make the DKC show better is that they could have included more of the Kongs from the games (S****y, Kiddy, Chunky, Tiny, Lanky, and Bumpkin; but their games weren't out yet, except for S****y), and the Animal Buddies. Here's some of my favorite quotes from the show.
"Aye aye, nose nose, throat throat, ablast me hardies, and shiver me tree trunks!" ~DK thinking he's a pirate
"Ohh... feels like I got the stuffing knocked out of me... Oh no! I did get the stuffing knocked out of me! Where's my stuffing?!" ~DK
"Help, Diddy! I've fallen, and I can't get up! Can you pass me a banana, little buddy?" ~DK in a robot's body
"Ah, never fear, Diddy's here. Just show a hors d'evoures plate in front of me and I can find a crab with my eyes closed. HERE, CRAPPY! CRAPPY! Here, Crappy, Crappy..." ~Diddy helping Dixie look for her pet crab
"You just lost my lucky ball!" ~Diddy as an evil ruler in an alternate dimension
(at least that's what I think; I never saw this episode)
"That sounded like a zebra having his stripes removed." ~Diddy hearing Bluster lose his hair
"Aliens are taking over Kongo Bongo and all anyone's doing about it is getting their hair done!" ~Diddy
"What am I doing here? I could ask you what you're doing here, all of you! But I know - wrecking my vacation, that's what! First bees, then ants, now you and those overstuffed alligators are the icing on the cake!" ~Cranky after DK, Diddy, Funky, Candy, Dixie, Bluster, K. Rool, and Krusha crash his vacation
"I'd rather go on the picnic with your stupid robot than with you!" ~Candy to Bluster
"There, how could Candy possibly resist me now? (looks at his comb) What's this? Hair? My hair?? AAH! My hair's falling out!!" ~Bluster
"I can't use this. So what if I've lost a bit of hair? ...AAH! MORE HAIR!! I'm shedding!" ~Bluster
"Marry me, Candy, and everything that's mine is yours... except for what's in this prenuptual agreement." ~Bluster
"Whoa! Check it out, dudes! Never saw green clouds before... well, maybe once. Hey! Where'd all that water come from?!" ~Funky flying upside-down
"Klump! Krusha! Back to the mine. By the time we get there I'll have thought of some way that I can blame all of this on you two home-spun idiots!" ~K. Rool
"Those clueless chimps may know their way around the island up there, but no one knows the underground like King K. Rool! Left, Krusha! (The mine cart crashes.) I meant, right!" ~K. Rool
"The only enemies at a wedding, Klump, are the in-laws." ~K. Rool
"Very well, then. Da da da da da. There, I danced, I win, now GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!" ~K. Rool trying to win the Orangutango dance contest
"They didn't invite me?! That's so unfair! What's wrong with me?! Haven't I always tried to be a good enemy to Donkey Kong??" ~K. Rool after his invitation to DK's wedding gets lost
"You call this a body?! I eat pretzels fatter than this!" ~Klump in Candy's body
"Hey, robot-monkey! Bring me somethin' to eat! (The robot gets some bananas.) I'm waitin', soldier! Now step on it! (The robot does so.) HEY!" ~Klump in Candy's body
"Who goes there? A furball? What're you doing in K. Rool's kitchen? What's this jungle doing in K. Rool's kitchen?" ~Klump
"Uh, permission to invite you as my date, your party-poopieness?" ~Klump acting gay
"Lunkhead! Once I have the Coconut... Ooh, sorry. I thought you meant you, your mightiness." ~Krusha imitating K. Rool (he's very good at vocal imitations)
"With Donkey Kong incommisioned, grabbin' the Coconut will be a piece of cake."
"We get cake too?"
"Aw, nevermind..."
~Klump and Krusha
"Let's see, what do I want? To be ruler of all of Kongo Bongo Island? That sounds good..."
"It's not your fault, Donkey Kong."
"Doododododododododododooooo!"
"I WISH YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT!"
"Hahahahaha! Looks like you got your one wish, K. Rool!"
~K. Rool, Cranky, and Klump
"Hey, what about you, Dixie? Little Dixie doodle, you are mine!"
"Huh? What is up with you, DK?"
"What? I didn't say anything!"
"C'mon! Put a lip lock on me, Dixie! That chump chimp Diddy will never know!"
"Why you lousy double crossin' two timin'... wait till Diddy gets a load of this!!!"
~Krusha imitating DK's voice, Dixie, and DK
"I will go on national television!"
"...On the 'Sing Along With Uncle Swampy' show?"
"No, you lunkhead!"
~K. Rool and Klump
(K. Rool is playing a video game on his computer.)
"Only 500 more points to beat your record, your croc-ship."
"Come on, come on, come on!!!"
(Klump appears on the computer, erasing the game.)
"General Klump, King K. Rool sir! Y'read me, your high 'n mightyness? ...Looking a little pale there, cheif!"
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
(K. Rool smashes the computer and takes deep breaths. Klump calls on the cell phone.)
"Chief? You there, chief?"
"For you, your highness."
"Seems we had some sort of interference."
~Krusha, K. Rool, and Klump
"Why does we bury the treasure, captain?"
"Why does we bury the treasure? WHY DOES WE BURY THE TREASURE?! Kutlass, tell Mr. Green Kroc here why we be buryin' treasure!"
"Ahem. According to Section D, Paragraph 4 of The Pirate-a-Handbook-a, any and all-a-treasure acquired by ill-gotten means shall and will be systematically buried... sir."
"So there be your answer, Mr. Green Kroc-smarty boots! Now, not another word."
"But if we just be digging it up again..."
"ARE YOUR EARS FULL OF COTTON, SAILOR!?!"
~Green Kroc, Skurvy, and Kutlass
"Now what be we doin', lads?"
"Section D, Paragraph 4, Captain-a-Skurvy, sir!"
"Gift-wrap it?"
~Skurvy, Kutlass, and Green Kroc
"I can't stands having any more of that monkey stuff on my ship."
"Easy for you to say! You just hold the map; you don't have to dig!"
"What be that, third mate?!"
~Skurvy and Kutlass
"Now that I have the Crystal Coconut in my possesion, maybe it's time I thought about settling down with a wife!"
"Sorry, sir, but I can't volunteer for that mission! Thank you for askin', though."
~K. Rool and Klump
"Think of the possibilites, Klump. Do you realize the things I could do with the Crystal Coconut in one hand and the Golden Banana in the other?"
"Um... juggle?"
~K. Rool and Klump
"It's a 'Dear John' letter!"
"Ah, thank you. For a second there I thought this was meant for me."
~Diddy and DK
"Behold! The plans for my latest Donkey Kong Doomsday machine! I call it: the KCCBM!"
"Kccbm? I think you need to recruit more vowels."
~K. Rool and Klump
"With my KCCBM, we'll be up to our tails in Coconut Chills before you can say 'Blast off'! (Klump pushes a big red button that launches the KCCBM. Kritters cheer.) I wanted to push the big red button!"
"But you said 'blast off', and I didn't get to say anything!"
~K. Rool and Klump
"It's so obvious that the treasure they're looking for is some kind of Doomsday Device capable of destroying an entire island! Do you know what that means?"
"Duh, the apes will have supreme domination over Kongo Bongo Island and probably turn us into matching luggage."
"He does have his moments."
~K. Rool and Krusha
"I am a remarkable specimen! Sound mind with the body of a Greek god!"
"Yeah. Blimpo, god of the fatheads."
~Bluster and Diddy
"I know exactly how to keep Donkey Kong running in circles until the proverbial cows come home. Krusha!"
(enters behind K. Rool) "When did the cows leave?"
"How many times have I told you not to sneak up behind me like that?!"
~K. Rool and Krusha
"I got that zombie stuff from a movie I saw on the late, late, late, late show!"
"You see? There's no such thing as interplanetary visitor dudes!"
"Not ones that turn people into zombies, anyway. The ones I've met have always been real mellow... in an alternate life-form kind of way."
~Funky and Candy
And now here's some of my favorite lines from Kirby.
"Well, the King and Escargoon did make Kirby mess up, but I can't fire the King!" ~Chef Kawasaki
"Find the receipt for this thing, 'cause I want my money back!" ~King Dedede, after Octacon grows to full size
"What 'm I supposed to do, drop [Blocky] in the road an' wait for Kirby t'trip over it?" ~King Dedede
"Why don't you predict what's gonna happen when I push this here button?" ~King Dedede taunting Kabu
"Get back in your tank, ya overgrown appetizer!" ~Escargoon to Octacon
Super Mario Bros. are cool like sunglasses!
