I’m almost 30 and just realized Diddy’s Kong Quest means Diddy’s Conquest

Don’t feel bad. I was 30 when I realized ‘Ash Ketchum’ from Pokémon was a pun for ‘Gotta Catch ‘em All.’

Ketchum, but close enough! Have you heard about Gary Oak’s hidden pun?

@Fallon
Do tell…

24

Same here with South Park’s ‘The Fractured But Whole.’ Thought it was surprisingly deep for South Park… until I realized the joke.

25

I figured that out playing it on Switch, years after it first released. ‘Weird title… ohhh now I get it!’

26

Mid-90s were a wild time for subtle puns.

27

I feel lied to and robbed of my childhood innocence.

28

And did you know Ekans is ‘snake’ spelled backward?

I actually guessed the evolution name before I ever saw it!

I was the same way with ‘South Park: The Fractured But Whole.’ Never even caught the joke for years.

Took me years to get the joke in ‘South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut’ too.

32

Wow… had no idea. Mind blown.

33

That’s amazing! Explains why it’s ‘Diddy’s’ Quest, not Kong’s Quest.

34

I’m 38, and I’m still waiting for Diddy Kong Racing 2.

35

Oh wow!

36

That soundtrack was legendary… so many good tunes.

37

Fast learner, aren’t ya?

38

All this time I thought it was ‘Diddy Kong’s Quest’ too.

39

If you switch around ‘Donkey Kong,’ you get ‘Konkey Dong.’ Doesn’t work with Diddy, though.

Thank goodness Diddy didn’t get a party game after Diddy Kong Racing. Can you imagine the comments on ‘Diddy Kong Party’?
