Donkey Kong is a popular video game series sometimes referenced in the Homestar Runner body of work.
[edit] Appearances
- Email sb_email 22 — Strong Bad hums the music from the original Donkey Kong in his introduction.
- The Brothers Chaps sometimes include a Pie Factory in Strong Bad Emails. This is a reference to the original Donkey Kong, whose 50m level, commonly known as the Cement Factory, is alternately known as the "Pie Factory".
- Email stunt double — The Kiddie Pool is labeled as a Pie Factory in its second appearance. This is also seen in monument.
- In the DVD commentary, the Brothers Chaps describe the Pie Factory as the fourth level of the game. This is correct in the sense that it is the fourth stage to appear in the American arcade version, although it is only the third unique one (stage three is a repeat of the first stage, only slightly harder). In the Japanese version, whose level ordering was used in most ports and remakes in all regions, it is the second stage.
- Email high school — "The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries" takes place in an Abandoned Pie Factory. This is also seen in alternate universe.
- Email stunt double — The Kiddie Pool is labeled as a Pie Factory in its second appearance. This is also seen in monument.
- Stinkoman 20X6 — Tampo moves in a similar way to that of Krow, the first boss in Donkey Kong Country 2.
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 10 — The Ugly One says to "get it on like Diddy Kong". Diddy Kong is Donkey Kong's sidekick in the Donkey Kong Country series. This was also a reference to "It's on like Donkey Kong!", a phrase popularized by rapper Ice Cube which Nintendo would actually end up trademarking.
- Email retirement — The way Strong Bad scrambles back and forth under the Lappy 486 is likely a reference to Donkey Kong 3.
- 8-Bit is Enough — Marzipan is turned into Lady Crate Ape, a parody of Donkey Kong, while Bubs' Concession Stand resembles the 25m construction site from the original game. Furthering the parody, Marzi-Kong causes the girders to collapse and also throws crates (similar to Donkey Kong's barrels and springs).
- Strong Bad calls Strong Sad "Dumpy Kong Jr.", referring to the game Donkey Kong Jr.
