Thank you for ruining a format that was just meant to make creepy aspects things more well known, as well as make fun of creepypasta history Channel conspiracy type stuff

Thanks for all these down-to-earth, well-explained iceberg/non-iceberg videos 🙂 I've really enjoyed them and appreciate your transparency.

@Nickk7878-v8t 5 years ago

This game is cool and all, but it just needs more Wario!

@frozenwario5799 5 years ago

Since you pointed it out, I want you to know that the earliest example of Donkey Kong having teeth in this era was in the TV show, where they were also weirdly retractable.

@iSoupremeArchive 5 years ago

I don’t even care if it’s an iceberg video, I love your content nonetheless

@Flintofmother 5 years ago

31:00 Donkey Kong used to show a lot his teeth on the arcade era so giving his teeth back I guess was a way to make references to those games.

Finally someone who doesn't do the whole "CRT= scanlines" bs! Pleasant surprise.

@oshawott773 5 years ago

iceberg or not, these kinds of videos are always a treat.

@JohnnyVector 5 years ago

Fantastic video. My first time playing DKC was..on the Game Boy Colour. All things considered, it was a decent port.

@12luma 5 years ago

My favorite type of iceberg is a nonexistant one

@OniLinkBrazil1993 5 years ago

Cranky's tips are what helped me 102% DKC2 for the first time. I guess he really did get softer on the second game and later.

I know you as the i Carly deaths guy :)
Seriously you’re funny!

@impermanentLucidity 2 years ago

This may be my #1 most consistently enjoyable video. There's just such a fun, cozy air to it, like hanging out with a friend and bonding over something that you're both oddly knowledgeable about.

For the underground segments - They might’ve decided to use a parrot instead of an owl to reference how miners used to carry parrots to help detect harmful gases

The Theme of Donkey Kong Country is "Nature vs Technology"

@Litchy51 4 years ago

This video makes you sound like the Cybershell of DKC.

@RoseyPixels 5 years ago

I really like the way this video was structured and paced!

Something that caught me off-guard was at 15:41. I grew up with the GBA port and I never noticed that at all. Had to go back and check it for myself.

you say you don't need to be Albert Einstein to figure out that funky kong is just dk's model with clothes, but i just now realized that upon seeing this video
