Nintendo’s trademark application for “It’s on like Donkey Kong” might be more of a marketing stunt for Donkey Kong Country Returns than a serious attempt to secure the phrase, but that hasn’t stopped the internet from stopping to point and laugh, and when the internet laughs, Stephen Colbert laughs with them.

Be strong, Kirby fans. I’m sure he was only kidding.
