Okay, I was going to just post this on my blog, but I'm blocked from doing so at work and I wanted to get this down before I forgot all about it. Plus, this way you guys can help me!

I have an idea for a new reality TV show. It's called Monkey Business. And basically it's a hidden camera show where monkeys enter the workforce.

For instance. A man hires a construction company to build a deck on the back of his house and a crew of monkeys shows up with hardhats and toolbelts and stuff. Imagine the look on the man's face when a crew of monkeys show up to do his deck.

Or a couple goes out to a resteraunt and a monkey (dressed in a waiter uniform, white button up shirt, black pants, carries a notepad, etc) shows up to take their order, AND brings them out their food!

Or a man gets into the back of a cab and tells the cabbie where to take him. Just before the taxi starts moving, the driver (a monkey) turns around and gives him a big old chimpanzee smile.

Wouldn't this be the best show ever? What do you think? Any other ideas?

What's a bouse?




***snicker***

*gives beenthere a dirty look*

Sorry, Mr. Poop. Couldn't resist.

And forget the dirty look. I've seen Mrs. Donethat's dirty looks. Yours can't compare.

sounds like an idea for a skit or an episode of a candid-camera type show.

The one joke would get old if you tried to carry an entire season or more.

Remember the Lancelot Link series?

For a list of other famous monkeys see:

Bout god damn time you posted something to your blog. Sheesh.

I love it.

People show up to the pool that just opened for the day only to find all chimps sitting in the life guard chairs.

Someone hires a cleaning crew and a dozen monkey's arrive dressed as maids with feather dusters and rags.

You pull out of a car wash and a bunch of monkeys jump all over your car with towels to dry you off!

While I think this is a fantastic idea, I see it more of a bit thing on like Conan instead of a full TV show. I really dont see there being enough material to constantly fill a 22 minute time slot. Though you could respectively add other types of animals for fun situations.

You could have a pool theme show, where you drain the pool and fill it with regular water and dump thousands of gold fish in. (Clean water, no chemicals). Deliver 100 ducks to a pool and let them all hang out in the water. Bring in a couple cows to graze in the fields around the pool, where the people lounge...

I think it could be fun.

insurance premiums would be a killer.

not to mention PETA at your door.

and also the IAPM (International Association of Professional Monkeys).

When PETA protests, we could send out our official spokesperson; and it could be a chimpanzee dressed in a suit and tie. He could stand at a little podium with a mic on it and adress the crowd.

Animal planet could totally pick this show up.

PETA b***hes when you buy fake fur, what dont they come knocking at your door for?

And while IAPM is a joke, animals do have talent agents lol

I think agents might just be worse then a guild. But watch out, I just found an article from 06 about Monkeys getting a 25% pay raise in all films and tv spots.

I'll be honest--anything that would involve dumping animals into awkward situations wouldn't capture my attention. There are enough people who abuse animals, I don't think a TV show that advocates it would be a great idea. Think how many dalmations ended up in the pound after Disney released...Ditto that for Huskies after Snow Dogs, saltwater fish after Nemo.

Sorry.

I think reality shows should be illegal, but I would pay $20.00 to see this.
