Line 44:
* Etemon, the comedic "[[Breather Episode]]" (well, [[Not So Harmless]] [[Lethal Joke Character|really]]) villain from ''[[Digimon Adventure]]''.
** Other ape Digimon include [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Apemon and Gorillamon]].
* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' had the humanlike Saiyans. When they look into the full moon, they become rampaging [[Attack of the 50
** In DBZ, they are not friendly at all. Goku's transformations were occasionally played for humor in the original series, but it was shown to be quite dangerous to those around him, too. Vegeta, on the other hand, retains complete control while transformed into a giant ape. Too bad it's well before his [[Heel Face Turn]] when he does it, so they'd have been better off if he ''had'' become just a rampaging mindless beast. Played straight, however, with King Kai's monkey companion Bubbles.
* Let's not leave ''[[Speed Racer]]'' out of the mix, with their [[Team Pet]] Chim-Chim.
Line 161:
** Eastwood once told a joke about that film (in which the ape was a chimp, according to him); he enjoyed the ape's company so much he attempted to buy it after filming was completed. The animal's keeper asked how much Eastwood made, and upon learning it was $5,000 a day or some such, replied "Well Mr. Eastwood, the ape likes you too. But he makes $6,000 a day, so perhaps he should buy you".
** Not to mention its sequel, ''Any Which Way You Can''.
* Probably the most famous [[Attack of the 50
* ''[[Mighty Joe Young]]''
* ''[[Outbreak]]'' unashamedly featured a cute little monkey who was the plague bringer of doom (albeit unintentionally.)
