"Obel Corsica" is a skit that aired as part of Donkey Kong Planet. It is framed as a car commercial for "Obel Corsica," a parody of the car model Opel Corsa.

Summary

Funky Kong in road rage mode, from a Donkey Kong Planet skit.
Funky Kong in a fit of road rage

Funky Kong is driving down a road in a Volvo 340/360 while listening to "Marinella" on the radio. He is overtaken by a van in the left lane, causing an angry Funky to shout "I tell you: women at the wheel? More like, death at the corner!". The van stops, prompting Funky to honk and taunt the driver. Four Candy Kongs then come out of the van, with one of them asking Funky, in an Italian accent, if he is looking for trouble. The commercial ends as the narrator delivers the tagline "Beware: this car can hide many others. MANY others...", with the Obel Corsica logo appearing onscreen.
