Everything's Better with Monkeys: Difference between revisions

* Placebo's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKC7RCb1H_o Space Monkey]" ("Space monkey in the place to be")

** And John Prine's song of that title.

* [[Jonathan Coulton]]'s "Code Monkey", a sympathetic take on the slang term referring to software developers whose work involves no creativity.

** Also "My Monkey," about the narrator [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/wiki/index.php/My_Monkey projecting thoughts and feelings onto his monkey butler].

* ''[[Rifts]]'' features Ape-Boys (genetically-enhanced apes and monkeys) as a playable race.

* The fourth set of ''[[Monsterpocalypse]]'', "Monsterpocalypse Now", introduced the faction "Empire of the Apes".

** [[Memetic Mutation|Monkey bees... my God.]]

** Monkey Bees DO NOT make everything better.

** According to [[Word of God]], Judy is the proud possessor of one of the few immutable laws of the universe:

* In ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' there's a lot of Terran [[Uplifted Animal]]. Of these, apes are prominently featured (also, elephants).

** And the Vhorwed are gorilla-like, but ''huge''. When the crew are going undercover in a circus, the ringmaster wants to know what a sentient elephant and an ape could do that would be impressive. [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-05-24 Isn't it obvious?]

* ''[[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]]'' uses [http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1713 a monkey dressed as Hitler] as part of a proof that fiction is stranger than truth.

* ''[[The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage]]'' features lots and lots of monkeys in "Lovelace and Babbage vs The Organist." In [http://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/lovelace-and-babbage-vs-the-organist-part-9/ part nine], Ada Lovelace has to negotiate a room full of sleeping monkeys belonging to the titular organist and his minions. It's a subversion for the protagonist, though - everything is [[Maniac Monkeys|far worse with monkeys]].

* ''[[My Roommate Is an Elf]]''. Griswold's familiar, Glen, is a talking monkey.

 

* In [[The Nostalgia Chick]]'s list of top villainesses, she places [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wicked Witch Of The West]] as #2, but admits that other than the flying monkeys, there's not much to say about her. So instead, the Chick just says "here's some monkeys" and shows videos of chimps dancing to "Yakety Sax" for the next ten to fifteen seconds.

* Subverted by [[The Nostalgia Critic]] in his ''Dunston Checks In'' review, who actually interrupts his own opening catchphrase to say "MONKEYS AREN'T FUNNY!"

* The Monkey King certainly thinks so in the [[Whateley Universe]]. Some of the people he decides need a little pranking, like Phase, may disagree.

* [[The League of STEAM]] often have to deal with invisible ghost monkeys.
