Proconsul, Pinefox? All I can tell you right now is that it weighed around 18 kg, had a brain capacity about the same as a gibbon's, and lacked a tail.

And Jerry I disagree: in Super Monkey Ball for Nintendo GameCube, AiAi is slightly less humanlike than MeeMee, and I'm not just saying that because MeeMee is wearing a little pink skirt.

Anyone with information about a Dead Primate should contact the police, not The Pinefox.

Pinefox, those PG Tips chimpanzees have been specially trained to move their mouths as if they're talking, but in fact they're not actually talking. The voice that you are hearing is not their speaking voice, but that of thier minds.

I've also seen the Tetley Tea Folk in pantomime at the Birmingham Hippodrome. At one point they rushed into the audience and started scurrying up people's trouser legs.

Jerry forgot to mention Jay and Silent Bob's little pal pretending to be their son in '...Strike Back', surely the most magical monkey moment of them all.

Best thread ever, apart from the one about CD folders.

and don't forget weeping gorilla as seen in promethea, "we probably expect too much from george lucas".

1. There was a really good chimps' tea party in a road safety ad featuring Bob Carolgees and a little girl who went on to be Fay in Grange Hill.

2. Good to see Jerry introducing a flavour of Sinister: next stop Lemurs, eh chaps?

3. Chimps vs Gorillas = "Monkey Business" vs "Congo", i.e. no contest.

OK so it's more complicated than that.

Correction: it's miserable. I shut up now.

Sadly, Bob Carolgees is not as well-served as monkeys.

10 years pass...

I just watched some dumb movie narrated by Tim Allen about a little chimp who is orphaned and then adopted by the alpha male of the group. Oh the tears! Why do I always cry during nature shows. Such a sap. In any event, "Chimpanzee" is a nice little movies if you are a a fan of chimps. You might cry though, just saying.
