Just Kidding

Just Kidding is the thirty-ninth episode of Donkey Kong Country TV series.

Storyline
On "All Fools Day", Cranky Kong pulls several pranks on Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Candy Kong. In return, the three Kongs assemble a big trick to get him back.

The episode begins with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong relaxing at the beach. Donkey Kong, knowing that it is "All Fools Day," is worried that Cranky Kong will prank him. Diddy tells the him that he had told Cranky the two were at the beach, thinking that the old ape would believe that what he had told him was a prank. Donkey Kong, still a bit anxious, sits down on the nearest deck chair. The chair immediately breaks, and Cranky Kong appears next to Diddy, laughing with him. Donkey Kong is then stunned to learn that he had fallen for a prank of both of the Kongs. Once their laugh is over, Cranky shakes Diddy's hand, making a deal that he will not prank Diddy this year. However, as the young monkey shakes his hand, he is shocked by Cranky's hidden joy buzzer. Cranky Kong energetically leaves the two Kongs, who are both stupefied by his latest trick.

Later, Donkey Kong paces around the area, surprised at how Cranky had tricked him so easily. Candy Kong advises him to relax, but he refuses to sit down, thinking that he will fall for a prank yet again. Instead, the ape sits in the small seat next to his beach chair, not noticing that whoopie cushion on it. Embarrassed, Donkey Kong realizes that he has fallen for another one of Cranky's tricks, after the old ape walks in laughing with Candy Kong. Just like Diddy, Cranky had made an offer to Candy that she couldn't refuse. However, after Candy sits in her beach chair again, the seat collapses, and Cranky begins to laugh again. With the two Kongs tricked, Cranky leaves, and it is then shown that Klump, has been watching the apes the whole time.

Meanwhile, Klump reports his findings to King K. Rool. Klump is unaware of jokes and All Fools Day, so King K. Rool explains it to him. This gives the reptile the idea of pulling a practical joke greater than all other jokes on the apes to get a last laugh.

On the way back to Donkey Kong's Treehouse, Donkey, Diddy, and Candy Kong hide behind a fake bush. When they arrive in the house, they check to see if there is any sign of Cranky. Donkey Kong unexpectedly notices Cranky sitting on the couch nearby. Cranky states that he is unarmed, and decides to apologize to the apes for what he has done with his practical jokes. The Kongs are not well persuaded, so Cranky leaves the treehouse. With the old ape gone, Donkey Kong and the others check the refrigerator, discovering a note from Cranky next to three pies. After Donkey Kong reads "Sorry I'll be missing this" on the note, the three pies shoot into the Kongs' faces. Angry, the three primates yell at Cranky out the window as he heads farther from the treehouse.

Later that day, Donkey and Diddy Kong hide in the jungle, ready to pull their own prank on Cranky Kong. When the ape approaches them, the Kongs throw a jar of "Chewy Chews" in front of him. After picking it up, he pretends that he is unable to open the jar, and finds Donkey Kong nearby. He asks the ape to help him open it. Donkey Kong accepts, forgetting about his trick, and opens the jar, only to be hit by several objects that shoot out of the container. For a third time, Donkey Kong is embarrassed and surprised at Cranky's prank, but is then offered a jar of food from Cranky. Diddy warns him that it is another trick, but the ape opens it anyway, finding nothing harmful at all. However, after smelling it, he and Diddy begins to sneeze constantly, as they have fallen for another one of Cranky's pranks.

In another area of the jungle, King K. Rool, Klump, and Krusha set up their practical joke. After King K. Rool explains the trick to them, the three set out to watch the apes.
