Barrel, Barrel... Who's Got the Barrel: Difference between revisions

"'''Barrel, Barrel... Who's Got the Barrel'''"is the fourth episode of the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]]. It was the twenty-fifth to air in North America. It introduces [[Eddie the Mean Old Yeti]] to the series.

[[Donkey Kong]] is sitting in front of his mirror, moping that he feels like he "has a case of the uglies", but [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] says he looks fine. DK isn't sure, because he promised to treat [[Candy Kong|Candy]] to a very formal luncheon today and says that he "can't show up looking like a big hairy ape". Diddy, however, tells him he has nothing to worry about, because a big hairy ape is exactly what he is.

Afterwards, Donkey and Diddy return the Coconut to Cranky's Cabin. DK suggests that Cranky should find a safer place to store the Coconut, but Cranky declines, saying that "as long as I carry a big stick, no one will mess with me!" Suddenly, Eddie the Yeti barges in, carrying a larger club than before and starts wrecking the place, prompting Diddy to add, "Unless it's someone with an even bigger stick!"

*When [[Funky Kong|Funky]] is in the biplane to take Diddy and Donkey, the plane propellers do not appear.

*At the start of the episode, when Donkey Kong says that he "can't show up looking like a big hairy ape" to Diddy, his mouth, as seen in the mirror, isn't moving.

*During the chase sequence between Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Eddie, their entire shadows as they run along the bridges can be seen on the snow below. Additionally, as Eddie runs into his cave again, Diddy's shadow can be seen on the edge of the screen, moving in place.

*The majority of the episode's reruns on the FOX Family Channel cut out most of the sequence where DK and Diddy trade Eddie a match for the barrel; this was most likely to avoid the possibility of kids playing with matches (even though the show was rated TV-Y7). It was perhaps for this same reason the show's intro sequence was shortened down on the channel; a shot of Eddie burning his hand from this episode was among the shots in the theme song that were cut out.

*Barrel 007 is a reference to [[Wikipedia: James Bond|James Bond]]. (By coincidence, at the time the show was in production, Rareware, the company behind the ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' games, was at work on a [[Nintendo 64]] game based on the most recent Bond film at the time, ''Goldeneye''.)

*In one of the scenes, [[Diddy Kong]] turns red and grabs his hat and drops it on the floor and stomps on it just like in the game ''Donkey Kong Country'' when he loses in a minigame.

*The Barrel 007 reappears in "[[Bluster's Sale Ape-Stravaganza]]".
