Though it’s been 30 years since the game first came out, Nintendo is just now attempting to trademark the phrase, “It’s on like Donkey Kong.” Usually this wouldn’t have mattered much to us, but the last time we honestly heard the phrase was this Monday from one Graham Elliot. In a video to help raise money for a short film by Yasmina Cadiz, Elliot gets rather pumped up and exclaims, “We’re going to take over your kitchen. It’s going to be like WrestleMania. We’re going to be throwing pots and pans, arm wrestling, headbutts. It’s going to be so on, like Donkey Kong.” So would Nintendo now be getting a cut of this? Suddenly all this trademark stuff is getting very real. [CNN via @kevinthepang]
