Donkey Kong is a video game character.

History[]

He convinced Bart to steal Bonestorm in Bart's imagination.[1]

He appeared outside of Noise Land Video Arcade for meet and greets. When Raphael commented that he was "just not a draw anymore", Donkey Kong responded by throwing a barrel at him, causing him to realize that Donkey Kong's "still got it".[2]

Mr. Burns listed him as an example of a villain and made a shadow puppet of him in his song "High to Be Loathed".[3]

He also kidnaps Professor Frink and Bart and Lisa have to chase and use Mario-style transport pipes to get to him. His fighting arena is modeled after one of the stages from the Donkey Kong video game from the 1980s. He gets blown into a sea of green fluid and as he dies, his hand shows a thumbs up.[4]

Behind the Laughter[]

DonkeyKong

Nintendo's official artwork of the current Donkey Kong.

Donkey Kong is a fictional gorilla character (technically, two separate characters who are related to each other) who was created by Nintendo in 1981. Later games from 1994 onwards were developed by Rare, Namco, Paon, and Retro Studios. His having his thumbs up while sinking is a parody of the ending to the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Mr. Burns' shadow puppet of Donkey Kong in "Gorgeous Grampa" has the silhouette of a pixelated sprite similar to his appearance in the Donkey Kong arcade game.
