The Spin-Off Squad is booking a tropical vacation this holiday season to Kongo Bongo Island as we learn about the local customs. We get to the bottom of some burning Donkey Kong lore questions that have been debated by Kong scholars for 45 years. The show's side characters and villains get the spotlight here as we explore the tragic backstory of General Klump and his inexplicable nipples.

This early attempt at CGI animated cartoons for kids comes to us right out of France. At the end of the episode, we get a big surprise about what the people of France did with DK's unholy reanimated corpse long into the night.

It's only A Minecraft Movie

Just as phony as it could be

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believed in Steve

Let's just smash video games and music videos together and see if that makes a TV show.

In fall of 2004 and spring of 2005, MTV2 aired an animated TV series that paired popular music with videogame characters performing the songs. It didn't make a lot of sense then and it makes even less sense now.

We're going to dissect it with our resident MTV expert, Jonathan Off Road Rules.

Some of these videos simply must be seen to be believed, so check out this playlist ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL38BvmoESdUrZPvrisgUzRRYVqSwDN-zb&feature=shared ) or search Video Mods on YouTube to see even more.

For further reading, most of our behind the scenes information was sourced either directly from the YouTube videos themselves or from this article on Polygon: https://www.polygon.com/24213898/mtv-video-mods-retrospective-what-happened/

Declan had the choice between dental surgery and discussing MTV, and made the appropriate choice.
