I was just thinking…
Monkey is just one of those words that makes anything you say funny, (like you’re about as useless as a monkey on a stick) it’s just a naturally funny word.
In the past couple of years I’ve begun using it as a substitute for an expletive. It’s actually diffused more than a few tense situations, because how can you not giggle when a grown man growls “Monkey!”
Monkey see, monkey post.
<Joe Pesci> You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it’s me, I’m a little fucked up maybe, but I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to fuckin’ amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny? </JP>

Cheeky wee monkey.
See, I told ya. I read these posts and giggle. 
No offense Hockey Monkey.
You’re talking about inherently funny words, a concept which is waaaaay overused and undercomprehended. There are inherently funny words, which vary based on the context they’re used in, but “monkey” and “cow” have been beaten like a dead horse. Intentional uses of those words as “inherently funny words” just make me roll my eyes.
But that’s just me.
Tuba.
Fetus…there’s a funny word. Un-fun fetus monkey is a funny combination of words. 
See, add monkey to anything and it is funny.
[Arnold] It’s not a tuba. [A]
For some reason, the word “drapes” makes me giggle.
Don’t trust monkey. It’s not a safe word.
A black receiver caught a pass on Monday Night Football and outran the defenders:
“Look at the little monkey run!” exclaimed Howard Cosell.
Beware monkey.
Also watch banana
“He hung up there long enough to eat a banana.”
Its not so funny when a monkey drapes a sheep.
OK, I admit that made me crack a little grin.
But you should know that the very reason I picked this Dopername was, it was an inherently funny word in its context. If I explained it here, it would kill it, but it was hysterical in my group in high school.
See, I told ya!
Hope you don’t mind, but my wife just read this post and “Un-fun fetus monkey” is the latest catchphrase in the frost household
And then there’s the tale of Monkeys in Zamboanga…hilarious!
Oh, wait a minute… 
Or in Malden, MA: Fetus McFetusson. Hehe.
Personally, I like the little video of the monkey sticking its finger up its butt, smelling it and falling off its perch. No two ways about it, that’s funny shit.
Well…to me, “monkey” has a slightly different connotation, since for some weird reason, my parents used it as a euphemism for the female genitalia. Imagine my confusion hearing the term “spanking the monkey” for an activity performed by males.
It’s still a fun word, though. But if we’re going to go the primate route, I prefer “baboon.” Babooooon!
have you a leee-sahns for zzat minkey ?
