A hilarious, yet still very well written, animated sci-fi series focusing on the exploits of a rag-tag crew of a interplanetary ship composed entirely of monkeys from Earth. They have been transformed into anthropormorphic, intelligent versions of themselves by the [[Applied Phlebotinum]] of the " ", a mysterious race of benevolent aliens whose name can't be spoken or written, only thought. The sworn enemy of the " " and the Space Monkeys is Lord Nebula, an immensely powerful being who wants to destroy the universe and recreate it in his own image. Nebula's second-in-command is Rhesus-2, a rhesus monkey whom he turned into a [[Hollywood Cyborg]] with several interchangeable brains. All around awesome show but was canceled after a relatively short run because it didn't sell enough action figures. |

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: When Gor gets mad... well, he's a gorilla. It gets even more dangerous when he's hit with alien technology that causes him to go [[One-Winged Angel]] ("Gormungous") when he gets mad. And they don't COMPLETELY reverse it...so he still does it for the rest of the series. |
