About

Disappointed Kong is a series of exploitable video remixes in which the Nintendo characters Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong enter an area and express their disappointment towards something.

Origin

In the 1994 Super NES game Donkey Kong Country, the goal of the game is to recover Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard from the series antagonist, King K. Rool. If the player visits the Banana Hoard before beating the game, the hoard will remain empty and the Kongs will express their displeasure; Donkey shakes his head in shame, and Diddy throws his hat on the ground angrily (example clip shown below).

Spread

On April 14th, 2018, YouTuber Trudermark posted the first edit of the scene, showing several examples of disappointing things, including a Loss edit. The video gained over 56,000 views in a little over a month (shown below).

In the description of Trudermark's post, he provided links to source videos which other users could use as templates for their own variations. In the course of the following month, several other edits appeared on YouTube, generally employing Things I Don't Like punchlines. Some popular edits include an edit by GingerDrizz that gained over 28,000 views (shown below, left). Another edit by SpyrotheDragonBoy200 gained over 38,000 views (shown below, right).
