"Speaking of frivolous lawsuits, some people have been claiming that we use subliminal messages here at Fred The Monkey.com. *swirly screen saying, "You Love Fred The Monkey.com appears* But that's nonsense. Everyone LOVES Fred The Monkey.com, so we don't need such clever marketing ploys!"

- Fred The Monkey

Fred The Monkey is a Web Animation based loosely off of Homestar Runner by JKR. (Not that one.) It centers around the title character, Fred the Monkey who Flanderized from The Fool to a Jerkass to someone who's just plain lazy, and Sceb, a semi-evil Space Chicken who once in a blue moon checks his mail.

Other characters include:
 * Cloe, an anime-obsessed The Chick and a Genius Ditz, who seems unaware that she brings Sceb down to a nervous wreck.
 * Space Chicken (Sceb's brother), resident OCD workaholic who runs the site as a whole. Played as the Straight Man against all the idiocy around him.
 * Mr. Deutsch, a partially insane teacher who puts food on the table and loves mathematics with a passion.
 * The Fish brothers, Cadberry and Nigel, the former being an annoying know-it-all and the latter actually having good ideas.
 * BDBB, the very lazy music director who likes to quote Monty Python.
 * Mitch, who shows up once in a while to make a point or to be probed by aliens.
 * Clydex. He's a platypus.

A particular part of the website involves Sceb answering questions without, you know, actually answering them.

Some of the cartoons include Easter Eggs, accessible by clicking on something at the end.


 * Cannot Spit It Out: Word of jesus (BDDB) says that Clydex says stuff other than "I'm a playtapus" but doesn't because he's too shy.
 * Catch Phrase: "I'm a platypus", "What the biscuit", "Eee? Pah!"
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Fred on occasion, but Sceb tends to have flashbacks more often.
 * Easter Egg
 * Extreme Omnivore: Fred, natch.
 * Flanderization
 * Fourth Wall Mail Slot
 * Grammar Nazi: Sceb, who even showed grammatical corrections in an Easter Egg one time.
 * No Fourth Wall
 * Paper-Thin Disguise: Fred in the most recent re-launch.
 * Schedule Slip: Particularly Sceb's fan-mail segment.
 * Talking to Himself: JKR does all the voices except arguably the music director.
 * Unusual Euphemism: "Biscuit." Kind of a catch-all that Sceb picked at random after being prompted to in one of his emails.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Mostly in Fred's eating habits...wood glue, a raw turkey, and even pig's blood.
 * Vague Age: Given how many members of the cast are animals, age doesn't come up very often.
