    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!

    Lanky, I want you to know that even as a young impressionable kid those DK Rap lyrics meant nothing to me as far as how I saw you. 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!

    The tears in Lanky Kong's eyes when he found out the image his friends think of him. A very agile Kong with a positive personality who was mocked by his funny face. They don't even show him fighting an enemy like the rest.
    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.

    Seen the new Mario movie last night and when they played this song i IMMEDIATELY thought of this video.
    It’s a shame that we didn’t see Lanky Kong dancing around.

    I find it funny that Lanky ignores the moment in the rap where Chunky accidentally slaps him away yet reacts to when the lyrics describe him.
    To Lanky, words hurt more than action do.

      Well, he knew about the video, just not about the lyrics.

      Yeah, he was just acting. Didn’t think it was serious.

    I like that the setting has to be the 90's, hence the computer, but he's doing modern style commentary

      Don't remind me of that damn boss fight, all I feel when trying to remember it is that I really didn't like it. Can't remember why.
