]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Don't forget Yank, the genius space monkey from season one of The Tick, who gained his super intelligence from pesky cosmic rays.

choinski: Streaky and Comet weren't from Krypton. Streaky got his powers from being exposed to a special form of kryptonite, and Comet was an immortal centaur from ancient Greece, turned into a super-powered horse by a witch.

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Ha, this list IS missing not one but three space monkeys. You're totaly forgeting the cosmic ray charged super monkeys of the Red Ghost! You're excused tho' cause Red Ghost was like the lamest Fantastic Four villain evar!

And Monkey from Dexter's Lab was in space several times.
Heck, who do you think defeated Simion and his space armada?

Able is a monkey is the "Space Program." He doesnt do much space exploration though. Mostly just complains.

Charlie Jane Anders

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> And here I thought I was one of the greatest space monkeys of all time.

*sigh*

SpaceMonkeyX

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Can't forget Firefly...
Mal: "And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?" ...

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> @SavannahJack: But Mojo Jojo wasn't a space monkey. Just an awesome "evil" villain mad scientist Monkey.

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> You totally forgot the space monkey from the space episode of the Simpsons:

NASA: ...maybe we should tell them the monkeys we sent into space came back super-intelligent?

ROLLERSKATING MONKEY: I don't think we'll be telling them that!

I once saw an episode of Superman the Animated series where superman fights a monkey who went to space and came back with some kind of powers that made him huge.

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> I like "Simior" from "Crap Slingers fron Planet Ten". Now that's a chimp with attitude.

Zantor

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> @JSharkey: Ah, Mona! That wooly monkey screamed more than teen age girl at a David Cassidy concert!

Zantor

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> You don't eff with MOJO JOJO.
Ever.

KraZe

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys!

Man, that show was so damn awesome it even had Malcolm McDowell for a bit.

KraZe

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> @92BuickLeSabre: No! It's just a regular answer! A regular answer to a regular question.

braak

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> No Beppo, last survivor of Krypton? If by 'last' you mean along with Kal-El, his female cousin, the city of Kandor, the City of Argo, Streaky the Cat, Comet the Horse, and the entire population of the Phantom Zone.

choinski

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Scary Monkey Show! God, I love Zim. Wasn't that the best cartoon? That phrase became my excuse for not paying attention when people are talking to me.

"Did you take out the garbage?"

"Hmm? Sorry, I was watching the Scary Monkey Show."

rogerniner

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Don't forget "Project X" either. Hard to tell which is the monkey though.

Ignatzybanjo

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Or is it "Lynda" that got ape-fondled?

SavannahJack

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Okay, I earn nerd creds here:
Power Puff Girls (I have daughters) monkey villain Mojo Jojo

Several DC Comics villains: giant apes, hyper-intelligent apes, mind-controlled apes that squeeze Linda Carter, etc.

spacedcowboy

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> @Miranda Kali:
I think you're right i think we view ourselves as space monkey's

Also...

Captian Huggyface from "Wordgirl" on public television is the ruling spacemonkey of today


spacedcowboy

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> I'm totally calling my agent to pitch Clint Eastwood with "Any Which Way But Loose" meets "Galaxy Quest." An aging circus rodeo star and his beer-drinking chimp buddy alight on one final adventure -- in space!

Jackson West

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Go ahead. "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" if you can. Just try.

Ignatzybanjo

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> @Rus McLaughlin: dude I love Monkey from Dexter's Lab (I can hear his theme song in my head write now haha)

superbryant

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Personally, I'm a fan of Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!

missjulied

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Dexter's Lab also gave us the monkey superhero known only as Monkey, voiced by man-god Frank Welker, in the Dial M for Monkey backup segments. Now that was a monkey who could kick some serious monkey ass.

Rus

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> How about Mona the Space Monkey from Robinson Crusoe on Mars? [www.imdb.com] And there was a 2001 movie with James Woods called "Race to Space" [www.imdb.com]

JSharkey

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> @braak: Well it sure is a thorny answer!

MongoLikeCandy

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Predator
+ (Mighty Joe Young + Jacques Cousteau)
- (special effects + fight choreography + Conan + Jesse The Body + Apollo Creed)
= Robot Monster

92BuickLeSabre

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> Seems to be a popular concept. I wonder if it's an allegory for man trying to find his place in the cosmos.
...Or maybe space monkeys are just plain cute. Tehee, Scary Monkey Show. (That. Hooorible. Monkey.)

Miranda Kali

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> It is not a thorny question whether or not monkeys are apes. It is an easy question.

They are not.

braak

]]> <![CDATA[Why Everything Goes Better With Space Monkeys]]> You left out my favorite artist's creation. Dalek's Space Monkeys in name only as they look kind of like rodents, but nonetheless.
