Editing Le comte de Monte Costaud

[[File:Planete DK - Le Comte.png|thumb]]

'''''Le comte de Monte Costaud''''' (''The Count of Monte Costaud'') is a skit that aired as part of ''[[La planète de Donkey Kong]]''. As with many of the show's skits, it is framed as a trailer for an upcoming TV show. Its title is a pun on the French title of the classic novel ''{{wp|The Count of Monte Cristo}}'' and the french word "costaud" (meaning "tough" or "buff"), and it specifically parodies the {{wp|The Count of Monte Cristo (1998 miniseries)|the 1998 French-Italian miniseries of the same name}}.

==Summary==

[[Donkey Kong]] has been framed by [[Funky Kong]] for an unspecified crime. Imprisoned into a cell of the "Château d'ouf" (a pun on the {{wp|Château d'If}}), Donkey Kong mumbles to himself that he will get revenge and kicks down the door of his cell. The narrator then explain that Donkey Kong managed to avoid public scrutinity using "subtle disguises" and has hatched a complex scheme to get his vengeance. 

The scene then cuts to Donkey Kong quipping at Funky to catch his attentions. While Funky turns, Donkey runs up to him and punch him unconscious. As Donkey Kong walks away, the narrator quips "''Le comte de Monte Costaud: a French story, filmed American-style, starring Arnold Dipardieu''".
