Does Seth Rogen’s Donkey Kong also smoke weed?

It’s always important to remember where you’re from, which is why I take the second trailer for that The Super Mario Bros. Movie emphasizes both Brooklyn (where the Italians are from) and Donkey Kong – where Mario made his first appearance in a video game. Like most characters in the film, the King of Swing was redesigned for his screen debut, and while it’s certainly faithful – he’s actually a tie-wearing gorilla – it’s also the first time DK has been redesigned since Donkey Kong country

According to Miyamoto himself, the new design will give DK a “weird personality,” said to match the singing style of famed comedian Seth Rogan. That simple fact is the tiny domino that topples over to create a cascade of thoughts in my head, leading to the biggest mystery presented by the new trailer for the Mario movie: is this new Donkey Kong smoking weed?

Follow my breadcrumbs:

• He is played by Seth Rogen
• Seth Rogen is known to smoke weed
• Seth Rogen also loves playing characters who smoke weed
• Even Seth Rogen sold weed
• Also, this guy smokes weed:

Tell me he doesn’t.

my theory? The new Donkey Kong doesn’t smoke weed. Still.

I have to leave something for the sequel, you know?
