I have a theory, funky kong is donkey Kong from a bad future where he loses to the penguin Vikings and he trains to get more powerful and goes back to help his younger self and disguised himself
every since I was a kid Funky was my favorite. The mode is like a childhood dream come true. If only Adult me could tell child me the wonders they would see. Playable Funky Kong,a universe of Marvel movies, Deadpool being popular, a Nintendo Amusement park, The ability to actually get an indie game published, Non stop Star Wars stuff, a Dragon Ball continuation, the list just goes on.
Here's a theory. What if Funky is older than he looks, and was old enough to barely remember the war from back then, and thus trained himself up in every way to be ready for the next big war. However... after a certain point, he got complacent in his riches, and decided that, though he'll help his home, he still has many business ventures to manage at once, so he'd help out indirectly through DK. But, as said, he takes action in Tropical Freeze, despite being rusty from lack of training his military training, due to having had a falling out with the vikings in some way overseas. Perhaps the vikings even learned of the island due to a deal gone wrong with the vikings. Or, perhaps he didn't act in the past adventures because of being strung up with helping with other matters overseas. Like, say.... with the war Conker is tied in with. Or perhaps with events tied to those tank monsters from Odyssey. What do you think?
My personal theory is that he's actually just this good, but he has Donkey Kong deal with this sort of thing usually because he doesn't want to get back in the adventuring and fighting. Mario Kart sure, that's just fun. And he's happy to help DK out, only selling him things so that DK has to work for them. He only goes back in here because... I didn't think this far, maybe he doesn't have a choice? The whole of the island has been frozen, he can't sit back this time.
Funky's power is probably because he called out the Vikings because he was always in training, and from there, thought it would be fun to brawl like his bro/cousin DK. Funky getting the item shop business is likely because old Cranky retired, and knowing Funky is good with business, gave him the business since he couldn't really trust Candy Kong with that(She's probably prone to giving discounts for any ape who says something nice to her, even though she makes it clear she's DK's girl, she may be naive.). Funky likely had the business savvy, but enjoyed slacking off too much, and old Cranky wanted Funky to put the board away and do more work. So, Funky found a way to mix business with pleasure, and when he was given the item shop from old Cranky, he went on his own adventures to obtain items for sale. Funky being rich is a power he made use of yeah, but he's more like Batman in behavior than Ironman, and far from Bill Gates(whom isn't even a super hero, just a wealthy businessman who started a company that is currently in the financial red long term because of the Xbox brand). Funky may also be using shades more of Goku with his apparent love of fighting, and Mr. Satan with his incalculable wealth, since Donkey Kong is a franchise made in Japan, Funky's development as a businessman and an OP badass are because he found a way to have fun while working(much to old Cranky's dismay after his retirement). Funky taking it to the Vikings is probably because he loves a good fight, and either jumped at the chance, or got nagged by old Cranky to do more than manage the family businesses for the sake of their homeland. As is the case, Funky's presence(regardless of it being of his own volition or being coerced) was a real boon, as he still had fun, and he's just OP from the extra work Cranky threw at him with retirement. Apes don't live nearly as long as humans, roughly 40 years is the lifespan of an ape, and Cranky is getting on in those years.
5:36 "Could this invasion from the north been sent by Funky Kong, perhaps as a ploy to get Cranky Kong out of his item shop to help Donkey Kong take out these invaders? And in the process of doing so does he sell or even give away his item shop to Funky Kong?" I don't think so. In the intro the 4 Kong's are blown away from the island and had no clue that the Snowmads were going to invade.
Diddy Kong: Ok, so I can Hover, Dixie can use her hair to do something like a Double Jump, and cranky can Pogo Stick his way to victory. What is YOUR ability? Funky Kong: I'M RICH!
I think it makes more sense that Kranky's item shop represented independently owned "Mum & Pop" stores that often sell the business to a larger corporation such as when Funky takes over.
Shut up Maxwell, this was actually pretty cool. And that comparison to today's companies...went on about twice as long as I was expecting. First I smiled, "yeah, I know keep em coming," to gradually horror, "wait...you're still going? Oh my god...", and then it crossed back into hilarity, "omg lol and we think corporations of today bad!"
Yeah, most companies today are billion-dollar companies (I think). A trillion is 1,000 billions, so the list is going to be absurdly long. Also, corporations of today are still bad, even if there's one from yesteryear that's worse.
Or Funky just has a really sturdy and well polished surf board along with taking a few extra hearts. Donkey only uses one because he's confident in his own strength while Funky plays it safe but doesn't overdo it for fun.
I feel proud of myself for knowing each of the businesses that you mentioned and what they do and know their origins or just some part of trivia from their histories
So basically Funky hired the Vikings to scare Cranky into selling his shop then when they froze the island he went full on batman and used his money to kiss ass and take names.
(Reads the thumbnail image) "This Kong's Dangerous?!" Oh my god! Suddenly, it all makes sense to me as why I keep singing Funky Kong's name to Ariana Grande's new tune!
Wait! I’M the richest ape! Bluster has a barrelworks business that got his factory huge! Do a theory on what happened to Bluster! This “funky is the leader of a mega corporation” thing is kinda ridiculous.
After watching your other DK videos, I figured it would be because Funky had been in the war, while the others hadn't. And he didn't get involved at first because of trauma.
Nintendo made Funky Kong in this game a Mary Sue simulator: you basically have no obstacles and you're better than everyone and everybody loves you. *and it's genius*
Surprised K rool has no involvement, considering he has more modes of transport than funky, is a king rich enough to build things like an island death ray, has been known to travel the sea, and could easily have been using funky as a insider to the kongs' shenanigans while he's busy in exchange for all the resources he could want. How do you think Funky got all that stuff?
5:24 except that one time the Indians revolted and Britain took all the power from the company and made India a crown colonie we can ignore that for the sake of the the video
I seriously hate how Funky’s pulling animation makes him look far stronger than DK. While DK needs two hands to pull things from the ground Funky only uses one hand
We already know that Cranky Kong is the Donkey Kong from the original Donkey Kong Arcade game and the current Donkey Kong is his Grandson. I think its more likely that Funky Kong is the second generation and Cranky Kong wanted to go fight vikings and had Funky Kong run the shop. This explains why Funky Kong is the strongest and is running the shop. The Viking invaders are doing what vikings had always done.
you know something you could do? a theory on galacta knight, now that's one of the most mysterious creatures in the history of Nintendo. also with star allies no one can't even say he's not cannon anymore, he appears on the main story
Actually, I'm pretty sure Funky's a Monkey. He supposedly lost his tail, though, which adds to the confusion. This might have just been some dumb theory I saw somewhere, but I remember this being canon.
Maybe Funky actually just made the most expensive propaganda of all time, set up an army to destroy an island, have DK go in and struggle to take them on, then come in himself to save the day. Who wouldn’t want to buy his items that fought off an army, or get in his good graces with financial backing. Anyone who didn’t like his business until then would be singing his praises once he saved them all.
Diddy: what's your power again?
Funky: im rich
Funky: Screw the rules, I have money!

A shame half of the things you said resulted "meh" at best. The good with the bad, I suppose.
Allan Carter only thing that doesn't interest me there at all is dragon Ball
Sith'ari Azithoth I wouldn't.
Allan Carter same
Yeah the future sure is great.

What do you think?
Funky kong > Marvel and DC.
It's Mario Kart Wii all over again.
No wonder why he is too OP in every game Funky appears.
My personal theory is that he's actually just this good, but he has Donkey Kong deal with this sort of thing usually because he doesn't want to get back in the adventuring and fighting. Mario Kart sure, that's just fun. And he's happy to help DK out, only selling him things so that DK has to work for them. He only goes back in here because...

Apes don't live nearly as long as humans, roughly 40 years is the lifespan of an ape, and Cranky is getting on in those years.
or he's just chilling and relaxing in his home where we mostly see him...?
Dang this theory is....
BANANAS!!!!!
i'm not sorry
I'd say it's ri-donk-ulous.
you should be
You don't need to be sorry. Love it.
I think you mean FUNKY
Good but not good.
5:36 "Could this invasion from the north been sent by Funky Kong, perhaps as a ploy to get Cranky Kong out of his item shop to help Donkey Kong take out these invaders? And in the process of doing so does he sell or even give away his item shop to Funky Kong?"

Diddy Kong: Ok, so I can Hover, Dixie can use her hair to do something like a Double Jump, and cranky can Pogo Stick his way to victory. What is YOUR ability?
Funky Kong: I'M RICH!
I'm with Maxel on this one. This was stupid.
Also with how many bananas the Kongs consume, they could easily be a part of the Yiga clan.
Starkiller Magna lol
What's the yiga clan
I_Is_Salty_Boi They're a group of antagonists from Zelda: Breath of the Wild. They have an obsession with bananas.
Devvyn Oler oh great I already have a head ache from the monkey in Mario 64 and Majoras Mask NOW THIS
In before, someone makes a theory about that. :P
I think it makes more sense that Kranky's item shop represented independently owned "Mum & Pop" stores that often sell the business to a larger corporation such as when Funky takes over.
If Funky Kong always saved the day new heroes would never rise.
Shut up Maxwell, this was actually pretty cool.
And that comparison to today's companies...went on about twice as long as I was expecting. First I smiled, "yeah, I know keep em coming," to gradually horror, "wait...you're still going? Oh my god...", and then it crossed back into hilarity, "omg lol and we think corporations of today bad!"
I thought his name was Maxill?
I thought that was what I typed. Lol
Yeah, most companies today are billion-dollar companies (I think). A trillion is 1,000 billions, so the list is going to be absurdly long.
Also, corporations of today are still bad, even if there's one from yesteryear that's worse.
not to mention inflation
*looks at thumbnail*
of course Funky Kong is dangerous, he's the fastest character in Mario Kart Wii... Come on, Gnoggin.
Silver Surfer : "This isn't even my final form, bro!"
To quote Funky Kong...
“What’s the matter? Bad at video games?”
I thought this was going to connect back to how Funky was a vet in the ape war
“New Funky Kong Mode!” Is the new “& Knuckles”
I laughed too hard at KONG-spiracy
He he
you had so many opportunities to put funky kong memes in the video
It’s the broken speed stat combined with the flame runner. That’s why Funky’s the best.
Wait it’s not 2009 anymore? B-b-but MKWii!!
I call this the MR KRABS video.
Funky Kong hates going on adventures so that’s why he was never a playable character until now
Good theory though
These theories are the fun ones
You mixed up the British east India company with the Dutch east India company, the Dutch company were the ones with the 7.9 trillion net worth
"Why is Funky Kong so good?" He's Funky Kong, that's why.
Or Funky just has a really sturdy and well polished surf board along with taking a few extra hearts. Donkey only uses one because he's confident in his own strength while Funky plays it safe but doesn't overdo it for fun.
(All the Kongs combining their powers)
*"With your powers combined, I am **_FUNKY KONG!_** "*
(Obligatory Captain Planet Reference)
New theory: Funky Kong is the physical form of God in the Kong world.
Shouldve been the Funky Kongspiracy
I feel proud of myself for knowing each of the businesses that you mentioned and what they do and know their origins or just some part of trivia from their histories
So basically Funky hired the Vikings to scare Cranky into selling his shop then when they froze the island he went full on batman and used his money to kiss ass and take names.
Expanding into the rental business
Subtle, real subtle...
(Reads the thumbnail image)
"This Kong's Dangerous?!"
Oh my god! Suddenly, it all makes sense to me as why I keep singing Funky Kong's name to Ariana Grande's new tune!
Also Funky sold you weapons in DK64, that seems really shady for someone who is supposed to be a laid back surfer dude.
Wait! I’M the richest ape! Bluster has a barrelworks business that got his factory huge! Do a theory on what happened to Bluster! This “funky is the leader of a mega corporation” thing is kinda ridiculous.
omfg xD
Gnoggin: With New Funky Mode!
After watching your other DK videos, I figured it would be because Funky had been in the war, while the others hadn't. And he didn't get involved at first because of trauma.
Donkey: Why have Nintendo made you playable?
Funky: Easy mode and overusing.
Diddy: ... Is it because you can?
Funky: Yea!
Ya know that he has to buy the items from a bird when you’re playing as him, right? *THE BIRD IS THE MASTERMIND!!!*
Nintendo made Funky Kong in this game a Mary Sue simulator: you basically have no obstacles and you're better than everyone and everybody loves you.
*and it's genius*
Wow, the EIC was huge, no wonder Jack Sparrow had such a hard time with them.
Kongspiracy is the word I would use to describe this channel.
If I had to add a second it would be alchemon.
Game Theory, Funky Kong's secret identity is Lester Kong.
I return to this channel and i see the iconic figure with a voice! I must see more of this guy
Surprised K rool has no involvement, considering he has more modes of transport than funky, is a king rich enough to build things like an island death ray, has been known to travel the sea, and could easily have been using funky as a insider to the kongs' shenanigans while he's busy in exchange for all the resources he could want. How do you think Funky got all that stuff?
5:24 except that one time the Indians revolted and Britain took all the power from the company and made India a crown colonie we can ignore that for the sake of the the video
I don't think I've ever rolled my eyes as hard as when you said "Kongspiracy"
Was Funky Kong behind the grassy knoll that fateful day in 1963?
You should try sometime making a video about the secrets of something like the east empire just to see how it does
I never knew that I would watch a video about a donkey king conspiracy but now in here
Your best video in months, just like the old ones :)
Nice video,I was wondering when you were making a new vid on Donkey Kong
I seriously hate how Funky’s pulling animation makes him look far stronger than DK. While DK needs two hands to pull things from the ground Funky only uses one hand
We already know that Cranky Kong is the Donkey Kong from the original Donkey Kong Arcade game and the current Donkey Kong is his Grandson.

This explains why Funky Kong is the strongest and is running the shop. The Viking invaders are doing what vikings had always done.
I like that Maxwell appears in your videos
Finally,some DK theories!
I mean Funky kong is god
Can you theorize who would win in a fight between Mettaton EX and DJ Octavio?
Something about him always seemed...
Funky
I'll be here all week.
>Why is Funky Kong so good?
Because he's God
Funky kong in DK is like Saxton Hale in TF2
This is a mind blowing theory, good one Lockstin :)
YOOOP, WHEN YOU SAID AMAZON, I SAID IT AT THE SAME TIME, THAT IS AMAZING
'And....Bill Gates.' Okay, I laughed hard at that.
Funky’s the Father Rodin of DK
you know something you could do? a theory on galacta knight, now that's one of the most mysterious creatures in the history of Nintendo. also with star allies no one can't even say he's not cannon anymore, he appears on the main story
QuizMaster Hanzo He doesn't. Not in the normal mode anyway
Mr. Anonymous I would tell you how he does, but that would spoil the theory
QuizMaster Hanzo You mean the butterfly thing?
A Gnoggin video with a NEW FUNKY MODE!
Actually, I'm pretty sure Funky's a Monkey. He supposedly lost his tail, though, which adds to the confusion. This might have just been some dumb theory I saw somewhere, but I remember this being canon.
When Lockstin is self aware
Kong pun instant like
Funky Kong is Donkey Kong's dad.
they are brothers
Wow, there was a lot of shade being thrown at MatPat in this vid. Not bad.
Wow this video was hilarious and informative! Loved it!
man i want funky as a echo fighter for donkey kong
Maybe Funky actually just made the most expensive propaganda of all time, set up an army to destroy an island, have DK go in and struggle to take them on, then come in himself to save the day. Who wouldn’t want to buy his items that fought off an army, or get in his good graces with financial backing. Anyone who didn’t like his business until then would be singing his praises once he saved them all.
Oh a kongspiracy interesting
Btw, anyone interested in the East Empire Co I strongly recommend the series "Taboo" featuring Tom Hardy
I would love to see another Xenoblade 2 with the late-game lore, since there's a ton of science stuff to analyze
Funky is OP in MKW, so he’s OP in DKCTF.
I love how you acknowledge yourself
so what's your take on my theory that funky kong is actually donkey kong jr.
Is it just me, or was Gnoggin being REALLY self-aware in this video? Like...disturbingly self-aware?
He listed a video that wouldn't be make for another 2 more years
Kongspiricy?! I think you just gave me a heart attack...
Great parody of Matpat, fellas! You really ah. Nailed the source material.
You coulda called it the Funky KONG-spiracy you know...
Remind me in 2 years to say "The East Indian Trading Company was founded 420 years ago lol"
Mr. Kong, I don't feel so good...
Sure Funky Kong knows how to EXPAND his power even better than DK
I thought he had all this because of his determination to be better according to Nintendo that's his character
Oh, silly Gnoggin! If Funky Kong was playable in DKC, it would be too easy! Nintendo couldn't sell a platformer that did itself!
Great video! 😊
Using pokemon cries as bleeps is genius.
Flowey boss fight theme from undertale... scary
Wouldn’t this mean the merchant is the most powerful character in the setting of RE4, nay the entire series
