Let's Discuss Monkeys!

Unknown

For some odd reason, I find monkeys incredibly amusing. Craig Ferguson and I can't possibly be the only ones who think so! This is the thread to discuss and post amusing things about monkeys.

(Chimp, apes, whatevers...)

To start, here is a myspace Craig Ferguson once started in an attempt to get a tv show called "Ghost Chimp MD" on tv:

Here is a yahoo news article that spawned the need to start this thread. Even though this is a serious news story. I just found it so amusing:

I was born in the year of the monkey.

And my sister was viewing a DVD that a Catholic school sent her when I thought she exclaimed, "A monkey's gardening!" when in all reality, it was, "A monk is gardening!"

I used to be able to draw monkeys when I was like 12. They were so good, really.
But now I've lost the ability.

Calm a llama deep down in the ocean blue, like a barnacle, sitting in a tight place, laughing like a monkey arm, pulling like a China boy, carraway, carraway, carraway, noise! Boing, chika, masala, boing, chika, masala, ooohhhhh! Tooth! tooth! Pffth.

A monkey gardening. Now there's an interesting visual.

With the little spade and a sun visor. And some kinda apron with pockets on the front, and frills.

Nice.

^^YouTube Jacqui! They can be found there! I think they're already up to episode two! They're AWESOME!

Does/did anyone used to listen to the Ricky Gervais Show podcasts? They used to have a segement called "Monkey News" where resident imbecile (their words, not mine!), Karl Pilkington would recite "news" about monkeys. It was really, really funny!

target35ghost

my grandma said that when she went to Malaysia to visit my aunt who lives there, the next door neighbor had a pet monkey. The monkey would sneak into my aunts house and steal fruit. One night my grandma went to the kitchen and all she saw in the dark was its two big eyes, she was freaked out!


also here is some great monkey videos that i hold close to my heart:

I'm surprised that NONE of you have said "Jagger is a Monkey Genius." Adam and I just randomly look at each other and proclaim that fact.

I love that this thread has become The Mighty Boosh/Flight of the Conchords discussion, too.

This is where we break it down, Oooh. This is where we break it down, Ahh.

Howard: Can anyone even be a hero in today's modern age?
Vince: Mick Jagger, he's alright!
Howard: Yeah, but I'm talking about real heroes!
Vince: Mick Jagger is a real hero, he's a monkey genius!
...
Howard: What would Jagger do if he were faced with the dark abyss.
Vince: I dunno, he'd probably do something like this - *see my signature*

Hee hee! Never! Although I *was* tempted to change it to a little animation of Vince eating a jelly snake like a turtle from the 'Hitcher' episode, but the Jagger thing is too good!
