    @skylerfisher4347 Před 11 měsíci +301

    There’s so many layers to this entire thing.
    For one, they didn’t tell Lanky what the lyrics were and likely intentionally since they knew he’d dislike them if he did, and wouldn’t have acted silly for the video like they needed.
    Two, the way he immediately starts talking about Donkey sounds good at first, but really listen to it. It’s clear he gets bossed around and belittled by DK all the time. “Whips the team into shape” and “Nothing without him” are key points to that.
    For three, Donkey might even be physically abusing poor lanky, considering the way he said “That’s for sure” after hearing about the coconut gun like he’d been shot by it before and knows how much it hurts.
    Hell, he even hesitated to call about how mean spirited the song was. Probably because he knew he’d be reprimanded for standing up for himself!

      I actually think that he was just complementing how good donkey Kong was at shooting, and how talented a fighter he was. After getting upset with the way that they treated him, he then reveals that D.K is a blow hard who really is nothing special, when you get right down to it. Anyone can just use a gun and hurt someone with it.

      It's just part of the way he talks.
      He leans into it a little more in the skits he makes, but he actually has a lot of those slightly awkward ways of talking normally. I'm pretty sure it's because he always pauses for a moment to think over what he's trying to say for the purposes of avoiding foot in mouth syndrome.

You've been nothing but an outstanding man who's confident being himself and having fun. I'd also be completely amiss if I didn't mention your amazing talent! Running on your hands at top speed, even uphill? It's absolutely bonkers! I used to daydream about being like you and instantly flipping myself over to run on my hands if my friends and I had to escape a bully. I'd practice my handstands daily and you made me into a stronger, more confident person. Thank you for being you and inspiring souls since 1999. We love you!

    But Lanky shouldn't feel bad about that knowing that in the game's plot the orangutan has participated in some challenging missions, HE beat a rabbit and a beetle in a fast race. HE freed Chunky from a cage. HE could use Enguarde when he needed to, and HE was the first to participate in the battle against the "False Krool".
    Lanky and Chunky remained absent for a long time and until now, but they made their mark on one of the most recognized games in the franchise.
