I love how they only hired DK's voice actor for his singing voice... And then hired only DK's voice actor for his singing voice. So you have a big damn gorilla with a sweet, milky singing voice, but all the other characters just have basic cartoon voices, even when they're trying to sing.

My friends and I also loved to get together and play "Find the animation error" every time we got together and subjected ourselves to this trainwreck. Like, we knew it was awful, but we enjoyed how appalling it was somewhat. So imagine this...

But with a slight grin. I dunno. This show is a classic in the same way that The Room is a classic. It'll forever hold a place in my heart.

My favourite thing to look out for was DK's teeth. Sometimes he has teeth, sometimes he doesn't, sometimes you see them physically grow through his gums

I came here for the gifs and did not leave disappointed.

I preferred that Donkey Kong cartoon. Pauline was cute in it. Though I still don't know why they made her Mario's niece in it.

pinkurocket · Sep 28, 2015

I'd shower you with coconut cream pies.

bjork · Sep 28, 2015

I remember the real Donkey Kong TV show.

[edit - I am too old for forums nowadays, everyone is quicker on the draw than me.]

No one ever remembers the Rayman TV series

Oh yeah, that rayman TV show. Featuring all those memorables characters...

that series had less things going for it than Donkey Kong that there was only three episodes.

Doesn't France make a lot of those 3D shows?

Or so i've heard.

Stabby McSter · Sep 28, 2015

I used to love this show. Then they posted all the episodes on YouTube and now I can't believe I sat through any of it. I thought I had great taste as a kid.

Bluster Kong. He's like Swanky Kong... But not. He's DK & Candy's boss at the barrel factory and serves as the show's "pathetic" character.

Jay RaR · Sep 28, 2015

I never knew this show existed until I browsed Gaf.

But still, these gifs I see tho...ayy lmao.

It's worth watching for Spanish speakin' gaffers, if only to hear Mijares as the singing voice of Donkey Kong.

Tell me he doesn't sound the exact same, holy freakin' hell

Thank you. I tried so hard to find thus series in Latin Spanish

El Odio · Sep 28, 2015

Let's get the whole DKTV collection in here while we're at it. Featuring such moments as zombie DK and Funky creeping on Candy Kong.

10k · Sep 28, 2015

Yes I do. It was glorious.

Bass260 · Sep 28, 2015

One of the most gif-worthy shows of all time IMO.

As far as licenced properties I only know about Donkey Kong, but they do make a lot of 3D shows for kids and teenagers.

Came expecting this, found DKC instead. Not sure how I feel about this. I need time.

paragonpro · Sep 28, 2015

I remember watching the vhs, and getting super uncomfortable when they would start singing and dancing when i was a kid.

Yep, same here. In fact, I now have the Saturday Supercade theme stuck in my head.

GameMarked · Sep 28, 2015

I remember watching it on Saturday mornings. I didn't like or dislike it though. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it, but if I happened to see that it was on I would watch it.

User1608 · Sep 28, 2015

I really enjoyed it growing up. Always looked forward to it despite how silly it was as a production. DK fan for life, heh. Songs were actually decent though!

-shadow- · Sep 28, 2015

I remember having a VHS of this show in Dutch. The series in English is already bad enough, but those rap songs translated are an even more glorious disaster. Really should dig out the tape just for a good laugh...

Tizoc · Sep 28, 2015

The 90s series is available on Youtube now btw

Yup. And his incompetent boss kept trying to seduce his girlfriend, who was also his co-worker.

I'd want to say that was the weirdest part, but they only produced barrels, and outside of Funky's Flights, there seemed to be no other businesses on their island. So the 3 of them (Which constitute almost half of the island's Kong population) all work in a barrel factory despite not shipping the barrels anywhere or having any place to spend money on outside of an airport.

And for some reason, K. Rool was still hellbent on dominating that island; he always said he wanted to take over Congo Bongo Island, not the whole world. It should also be noted that he had an army, as well as connections with pirates, against 7 apes.

DarkTom · Sep 28, 2015

Yes it was very popular in France. Almost everyone from my age, girls and boys, gamers or not, know about it here.

Japanmanx3 · Sep 28, 2015

Loved this show as a kid tbh.

More apparent when you factor in these two "original" characters

France = Bluster Kong
Canada = Eddie the Yeti

Yeah, never sat well with the whole Candy is the only one that has to work, yet the factory itself has no use, but it was a cartoon for kids, so maybe I just looked too much into it.

They've made Fire Emblem, Kirby, and even F-Zero anime since then.
Surprised they haven't tried more recently

No new fire emblem anime is a travesty.

HELL Yeah the Donkey Kong TV show was awful but every month I still watch a few episodes and laugh my ass off.

This is the one I went in expecting, too. There's something really weird about kid's show CG cartoons and that DKC one is all sorts of creepy-looking.

And Canada. Well, Mainframe Entertainment in Canada pioneered of 90s CG kids shows:

Shadow Raiders AKA War Planets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t-9bHhuDUg

Beast Wars AKA Beasties
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FKpU0pnne8

And the GOAT, ReBoot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYrKYETorM8

Now they're named Rainmaker Entertainment and they mostly make Barbie movies while these Reboot reboots never seem to go anywhere. So...there's that.
