Recap / Donkey Kong Island S 2 E 5 Evicted

Go To

Following noise complaints from neighbours and the state their house is in, Swanky, Dixie and Tiny's landlord, evicts them from it. This leads to Tiny staying over with Chunky and Kiddy, and Dixie having to stay with Lanky. Meanwhile the rest of the group tries to find a way to give the girls their house back:

Tropes:

  • Abusive Parents: Dixie and Tiny's parents treated the former very badly, which caused Dixie to run away from home. Wrinkly also states that they weren't exactly nice to her either.
  • Answer Cut: Katryna tells DK and Diddy that there's absolutely no way K. Rool will allow Dixie and Tiny to stay over with them. Cue to K. Rool telling DK and Diddy so and with the exact same words Katryna said he would use.
    Katryna: I know exactly what he's going to tell you: "What you and your dumbass co-workers do in your free time is none of my business, now go back to work and piss off."
    (The very next scene)
    K. Rool: What you and your dumbass co-workers do in your free time is none of my business, now go back to work and piss off.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Krusha tries to flirt with two girls at Dixie and Tiny's house party, and when they turn him away he calls them Gold Diggers.
  • Cool Old Lady: Wrinkly is this, when she's not angry and aiming at someone with a bill blaster, that is.
  • Cutaway Gag: We get one showcasing how Swanky taxes Chunky and Kiddy for every single little thing they do.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Krusha gets Dixie and Tiny evicted from their home because Dixie broke up with him.
  • Deep South: Wrinkly lives in a farm and speaks with a southern United-States accent.
  • Evil Is Petty: Krusha told Swanky about Dixie and Tiny's party and got them evicted because Dixie broke up with him and later on refused to be his girlfriend. To be more of an asshole, he then attempts to buy the house from the landlord.
  • Foreshadowing: Krusha leaving Dixie and Tiny's place early is this, as he called Swanky and told him about Dixie and Tiny's party not long after that.
  • Gilligan Cut: Dixie and Tiny play Rock–Paper–Scissors to decide who stays with Chunky and Kiddy, as they can only allow one of them to stay over with them. Dixie assures that she won't lose to Tiny. Cue to a scene of Lanky showing Dixie her new bedroom.
  • Intergenerational Friendship:
    • Chunky is in a badminton team with a kid named Billy.
    • Wrinkly tells Katryna that she likes her attitude and that they should get together for drinks someday.
  • Jerkass: Swanky is always taxing their tenants for the smallest things they do.
  • Jerkass Has a Point:
    • While Swanky is definitely not a saint, he is right that Dixie and Tiny did themselves no favours by breaking the rules that were established in the contract.
    • Cranky not letting Dixie and Tiny stay over at their house may seem like just another instance of Cranky being... well, Cranky, but it's hard to blame him given what happened during the time Lanky and Candy stayed over at his house.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Wrinkly. Sure, she has a temper and aims at people with a firearm when she's angry, but she cares about her family and changes her mind about Dixie when she sees Diddy standing up for her.
  • Leonine Contract: How Wrinkly gets the house from Swanky. She makes him sell it to her at gunpoint.
  • Lampshade Hanging: The fact that every single party scene plays the exact same songs is lampshaded by both Swanky and Cranky.
  • May–December Romance: Well, more like a "May-December Fling". Two girls seem to be very interested in Cranky during the party.
  • Never Mess with Granny: If you appreciate your life, you really don't want to make Wrinkly Fitzgerald angry.
  • Non-Residential Residence: After having had enough of Lanky and his brothers' behaviour and poor hygiene, Dixie decides to sleep in the Warehouse.
  • The Nicknamer: Apparently Cranky gives degrading nicknames to his relatives.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Diddy standing up for Dixie and Tiny to K. Rool, Cranky and the girls' grandmother after they each refuse to help them. You know he is pissed if he is willing to answer back to his stern boss, his grumpy grandfather, and a lady with a bill blaster.
  • The Pig-Pen: Lanky and his brothers' hygiene could rival Klump's, as Dixie finds out. On the other hand, while Tiny keeps herself clean, the same cannot be said of the place she lives in.
  • Shipper on Deck: Wrinkly for Dixie and Diddy. She tells her granddaughter that if a man stands up for her the way he did, it must mean something. She also tells Dixie not to let the opportunity escape.
  • Status Quo Is God: Dixie and Tiny get their house back after their grandmother threatens the landlord with her bill blaster.
  • Wild Teen Party: Dixie and Tiny throw one of these in their home. Unfortunately they forgot that their landlord had a six-person limit rule imposed.
