Monster Truck Driver Sinks To New Low In Donkey Kong Suit

I support the DK Monster Truck, mainly because I so would have rather seen Sonic and Mario at Monster Jam than at the Olympic games.

@Sabre_Justice: Well if I knew I just had to throw on an ape suit with a tie to get some groupies, I would have done it a long time ago. Of course Robin Williams just has to take off his shirt.

I can't believe I missed that. The metrodome's only fifteen minutes off campus!

@Smadubaku: well at least people come to see his show, not like those 2 Japanese developer gentlemen with the toilet paper.

Wow. That is hilarious. I love the tie. Nice touch. Can you IMAGINE how he feels having to wear that getup? How can his wife sleep with him at night?

I'm gonna go ahead and clarify something for anyone here that's still confused: The reason the trucks are so big is because the drivers are compensating for having tiny, tiny penises. Not that it is entirely their fault. Malformed reproductive organs are a common result of inbreeding. It's natures way of saying "your genetics aren't worth keeping."

@bparker06: "Donkey Kong? What's that?"

In case you haven't noticed, there hasn't been a decent DK game since the N64/SNES/Arcade/Ever depending on opinion.

I like how the truck has a tie, too bad none of those pictures really show it. You can easily see it in this video at :39

Probably the first time the poor guys worn a tie, even if it is painted on his monster truck suit.

At least he looks the part. Hee hee.

@okenny :): Same... Hmm, why not a Donkey Kong Monster Trucks tie-in game? It'd be like Mario Kart but more redneck-oriented.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

You haven't seen low yet! Wait till the after-show where this driver's truck and Bigfoot don their furry outfits and proceed to tap each other's back bumpers.

Seeing this images makes me nostalgic about Microsoft's old IP, Monster Truck Madness. That was one of the very first MS IPs but I'm not even sure if their was a "Microsoft Game Studios" back then.

cool truck, I wish there would be an Excite Truck 2, but the developers are working on something different.

Well it's not like monster truck drivers are basketball players or football players. They'd be damn lucky if they got local endorsements. Nothing wrong in making an honest living.

Ew. Implied nudity and chunky monster-truck guys don't mix.

Did Joel Schumacher have something to do with this?

Is this what happens when your company has the capacity to print its own money?

I can say that I like this and not feel ashamed.

...or at least not very ashamed. There's nothing wrong with combining of one hobby with another- especially when the two are video games, and seeing a really big vehicle destroy many smaller ones.

@rainking187:

I would consider monster truck racing a digression if anything.

Monster Truck racing is bigger than ever! It's just, monster truck enthusiasts don't use the Internet. I was watching that Hatton/Mayweather fight and saw a commercial for Monster Truck Pay Per View!

I think that guy has it going on, and naysayers just aren't comfortable with the way he's SHOWING up and GETTING IT done. If you want to SHOW UP and GET IT DONE, this is the guy you oughtta be taking pointers from.

That second picture looks like it's in miniature.

I don't think Monster trucks can hit a new low. They've been there for quite some time. Actually, I'd probably be more likely to watch a monster truck show if that particular vehicle was there. :D

@Lou3000: Different strokes, I guess! I would certainly not sneeze at being handed a Donkey Kong printed fire suit.

"Donkey Kong has been around since 1981, and everyone's seen it all over the place, so they figured Monster Jam was the next natural progression."

Is that an actual quote? What the hell would make anyone think monster truck racing was the next natural progression to anything? Of course I didn't see the bongo game coming, so maybe I'm not one to talk.

Also, Monster Truck racing still exists?

He's not wearing a tie. It's part of the suit! I wonder if it was that way in the original textures. Now I'm going to have to look it up.
