* [[Everything Is Better With Monkeys]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Monkey News]], a section of the show where Karl tells a news story which stars a monkey. Highlights include a fire-fighting monkey and a space monkey who committed suicide after not adapting to life back on earth.
** Karl's story about Ollie the Chimp [[wikipedia:Oliver (chimpanzee)|actually had some factual basis]], but of course he buried it in nonsense.
** Similarly with his story about [https://web.archive.org/web/20050321182531/http://monkeydaynews.blogspot.com/2005/02/third-woman-sues-over-kokos-breast.html the women who left their job ] because they wouldn't let [[wikipedia:Koko (gorilla)#Sexual harassment|the ape play with their breasts.]]
** [[Aluminum Christmas Trees|Chimps actually]] ''[[Aluminum Christmas Trees|were]]'' [[wikipedia:Animals in space|shot into space]], but it wasn't nearly as dramatic as Karl made it out to be. His story of the retirement home for Ham and Enos is bollocks too: Ham lived like a celebrity at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. (and then later, the North Carolina Zoo) before dying in 1982. Enos died of dysentery in 1962, little over a year after he went into space.
* [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]]: Karl's feelings on Australia, naming several of the (many) dangerous species that live there as to why he refuses to go there. Especially camping.
