- Fringemas Day 15. My Gym Partner's A Monkey is an odd show to say the least, but it found itself with an interesting take on the fish out of water concept. So today let's take a look at My Gym Partner's A Monkey, what it was and what happened to it.
Character Art By Jerry Meehan - Розваги
Thanks so much for watching! Were you a fan of My Gym Partner's A Monkey?
I'll say yes, it was slowly starting to become a fever dream memory though for sure xD thanks and safety as always to ya friend!
Yes and I can't wait for the flap jack video 🤣 my boyfriend hates it but I cut it on because its hilarious and I love bubby 😁 it's also got kind of creepy characters but I look past that
I liked the theme song more than anything lol (*MONKEY MONKEY MONKEY*)
Please talk about super robot monkey team hyper force go!!
Of course Finally
My favorite part was the occasional self aware humor
"He's my gym partner... Though you hardly see us in gym together."
i remember the opening somehting liek "its a pain in the B____/A__" and then monkey interupts and says he was going to say neck.
The self-aware humor was great. My favorite was in one particular episode that went down this whole "humanity vw robots" rabbit hole and either Jake or Adam said, "gee, remember when this cartoon was just about a boy going to school with animals?" Or something like that.
The fact a show was able to end on its own terms peacefully blows my mind.
This is what happens when you allow Cartoon Network to literally let a show like this exist I blame the executives of the net work they clearly did not know what the fuck they were doing especially the guy who created the show all because the kids name was lying I mean come on that’s a lazy joke
After seeing each of the supporting characters one by one I think to myself; "Why do i barely remember this show, but clearly remember every single character's voice?"
Ikr
Well, for starters, any character voiced by Tom Kenny or Grey Delisle is probably gonna stick with you.
@Thomperfan the guy who voices Slips is George Lutz from Band of Brothers
the voice actors were iconic.
Because the show was meanspirited and sucked
I remember one specific episode from this show and that's when someone brought in a diamond door knob I think it was and it hypnotised everyone to say "pretty pretty shiny shiny"
YES I remember for a while after the airing all my classmates would recite that quote as well
Holy shit yeah
I remember that too.
yeah 🤣🤣
"Pretty pretty shiny shiny," lives rent free in my head tbh
This whole channel is a nostalgia trip. I used to watch this and Camp Lazlo after elementary and middle school
Nostalgia trip is an understatement 🤣👌🏽
camp lazloooo
Camp Lazlo was Lit i love that show
Camp Lazlo and This were my favorite shows to watch! I can't believe how much I forgot about them
bro same!
The one thing that really stuck with me about this show is my blind niece was born when this was airing and the talking butt episode when he goes "what are you looking at" would make her laugh hard as hell every time. I learned how to do that voice just to make her laugh and it's onebof my favorite memories from that time
That's adorable.
Aww
Lol! I remember that episode perfectly even to this day. The funny face he made when he painted his tail and butt, then going "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" followed by "OKIDOKIE!"
Awww
I always really liked the design of the bullshark character with his water headphones that allow him to breathe. Very creative.
This show felt a bit derivative of The Grim adventures of billy and mandy to me. Like if everybody was Billy and none of it was ironic.
Yo sammme. I always got pretty annoyed by this show and I was a BIG CN kid.
it even looks like billy and mandy for the most part
Billy & Mandy is the full sandwich, this show is the bread
@@NightMourningDove yes sir
How? I never saw that. My gym partner is a monkey is not a horror show
I totally remember this show, obviously the theme song is stuck in my head now, but my biggest memory of this show is actually that one flash game they made of it. You like play as Adam running around the school and collecting stuff but I don't remember any specifics of the game. I think Jake would like throw you around the map or something.
Yessssss I use to play that all the time I know Exactly what your talking about😫😫good times
I remember playing a Gumball game with the same gameplay as that one and being reminded of the Gym Partners a monkey flash game.
i would play that game aaaaaaaall the time
Same dude haha, that game smacked
I LOVEDD this game
Looking back, I actually really like Bull's design? Like it's never good to bully others, but the fact that they took such nerd stereotypes (braces, needing an inhaler/apparatus to breathe/wheezing from what I remember) and gave it to the bully in a visually appealing way (headphones) kind of turned the tables on expectations.
Edit: it also added to the perspective of "Adam is so uncool even the nerds are bullying him" in a way like other media lol
Ah fuck I remember his lispy jersey accent too
Also the fact that under his tough exterior he had a few rather wimpy interests
He was also a bull shark
Imagine how short this show would've been if the school board realized their mistake and adam was transferred back to human school
There’s a episode where he is
@@Slvttyalien yeah, Poor Adam.
@@Slvttyalien they were too late to realize that by then though, if i remember correctly, adam was already too far off to be accepted into society
@@Slvttyalien *an
Too late because he already too far off from human society.
This was one of my favorite shows growing up. The show was colorful, the animations were whacky, it was loud for my kid attention span, and I love shows with animals. This show will always have a special place in my heart
do u care about your fellow human tell me u care about me i care about you
Another CN show made in the 2000s that I definitely remembered. Well done covering this!
This show made me realize that Tom Kenny was the voice actor for multiple characters from my childhood. When I was watching this show as a kid, I noticed how similar Spongebob and Jake Spidermonkey sounded.
I got that from watching CatDog and SpongeBob. Dog and SpongeBob are practically the same lol
THIS WAS THE NASTIEST PILE OF BULL CRAP THAT EVER AIRED ON CARTOON NETWORK
@@lisaswayne8241 Um, well it wasn’t nasty for me. How come I thought it was alright? 🤨
Also Starscream from Transformers Animated, you don't realize it until you find out it's Kenny doing it
I'm actually really happy to hear that MGPIAM ended on its own terms, not even being cancelled early but able to wrap up the big main plot, just did everything it wanted to do and then took a bow
we shoudl do a do over a do in a do of a do of a do of a do of a do of a do of a do do u care about your fellow human tell me u care about me i care about you
I think your description is perfect. It came from the Cartoon Network silver era, i can honestly say that none of the shows were as memorable as the predators, but they were in no way bad, and in my old age nearly 20 years later its a fun nostalgia trip to see this show again. Kind of like camp lazlo, I remember its existence, but its not necessarily something I’d think to show my kids, unlike something such as KND or Samurai Jack.
do u care about your fellow human tell me u care about me i care about you
I loved this show when I was younger. The game they made that went along with it was fun as hell
Those games on the website were LIT
i miss it 😿 you're it able to play them anymore because of flash not being available
Oh shit I remember the game, I wish it was still playable
I think they try to hard to be funny with the jokes like he gets transferred to the school because he has the last name name is lion that’s just lazy
@@monkeycat48
"that's just lazy" it was a cartoon for children, not a calc 2 exam bruh
The only thing that stuck with me from this show was everyone looking at a diamond saying "Pretty pretty shiny shiny"
Oh God no.
Holy shit, core memory unl--PRETTY PRETTY SHINY SHINY
Iirc, it was a crystal doorknob.
Oh yeah, I remember this show fondly but I couldn't for the life of me describe a single episode that wasn't this one.
YES! Finally there's another one!
I always remember how jake did well on a test and all the animals started attacking him because they "feel threatened."
People are actually like that in real life. It's astonishing. Never under estimate how insecure people can be.
As a young adult now, this show is still so admirable and entertaining to watch, still gets me to chuckle and I cant help to rewatch this even on boomerang
Boomerang is only for old sho- Jesus christ 16 years
Wooooooow
You REALLY brought it back with this one !!!
I legit forgot about this show
until I seen the thumbnail.
This is super nostalgic
Thank you for this
This show was the epitome of “There’s nothing else on.” It’s not Turn-The-TV-Off bad, like Johnny Test, but that’s not a high bar.
Spot on
God I used to hate Johnny test
I like Jonny test that's just me though
@@Zacaris09, I used to love that show as well, the premise of two teenage sisters who were able to make a dog talk, and make their brothers stupid dreams come true, it wasn’t half bad to be honest
@@void-master9077 yep
A joke I always liked from this show is in the sleepover episode where Jake tries to get Adam to lighten up and have some fun with the boys. Jake prank calls someone pretending to be principal pixie frog and tells them school’s been canceled next week only to be revealed that Jake actually called principal pixie frog himself. Not only that but principal pixie frog was still groggy from being woken up in the middle of the night so he ends up buying Jake’s story. 😆
do u care about your fellow human tell me u care about me i care about you
Just remember, lying is a sin
huh what r these comments
That scene is hilarious, but an even funnier scene was when Adam attempted to prank call Lupe into believing he was Principal Pixie Frog with his hilariously horrible impersonation of him. 🤣
I won't lie the main thing I remember from this show is the character designs. It's always fun to see how or even if animated shows choose to anthropomorphize talking animals.
do u care about your fellow human tell me u care about me i care about you
Unfortunately I can’t say I enjoyed this one too much. I think it may have come out right at that point where I was becoming more interested in story-driven plot lines and couldn’t quite be lured in by fart jokes anymore, but it definitely sticks out as a show I mostly only watched if there was nothing else to listen to while I worked on my homework. I’m glad to get a better look into the series for what it was though! I hope those who enjoyed the show appreciated the blast from the past :)
Every time Jordan drops a new video reminding me of a show that I used to love as a kid, I feel like Light picking up the Death Note and spontaneously regaining all of his memories.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate the fringmas alot, I'm going through a really rough break up feeling pretty alone and having your videos daily is one of the only reasons I'm making it through. Thank you genuinely
Keep your head up my friend! Thanks for the support!
This was a show that, if you asked me, I probably would've said I didn't like it very much, but looking back, I never changed the channel when it came on. I always sat and watched it. I'm not sure if that says something about the show, or about me, but it sure says something.
It was an alright show with some great moments. The best ones were whenever the principal was scared of getting sued.
I have a brainworm of the episode where the Elephants sue him and demand cashews, the quote on quote "most expensive nut"
Principal Pixie Frog
"We'll sue, for YOU."
I used to love this show but I was always sad that Adam never got to go back to a regular school. I really felt his despair sometimes and I was glad I had a human last name 😂
He did return on one episode, but hated it.
Lately, I been reminiscing on old cartoons I watched in my childhood and My Gym Partner’s a Monkey was one of those cartoons that popped up in my head. The one thing I remember most about it is Adam, Jake and most of all Principal Pixiefrog. And the fact that it ended because the creators and executives decided it was time, is a surprise. This gotta be put on HBO Max one day
This cartoon holds so many core memories in my childhood. The Cartoon Network era with My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Camp Lazlo, Grim Adventures of Bill and Mandy, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Chowder, and so many other PRIME cartoons. Will forever be missed
My math's teacher in year 10 was a fan of this show, and particularly liked quoting the Superintendent Wolverine line "Do I have to bite you on the buttocks?" Most people in the class weren't familiar with the show, which made the line come across a little unusual out of context.
I would've killed to have gone to this school as a kid, animals was a big obsession during this time so this cartoon seemed perfect
Same here and i heavily remember krypto since I had the bat hound toy
@@theshenpartei krypto was so good
Furries
this show had some surprisingly good continuity for an episodic series
I liked the running gag of Adam literally crying like a baby. Made me laugh every time.
do u care about your fellow human tell me u care about me i care about you
My mom remembers this show. One time, out of nowhere, she asked me if the show was still on and I said "No." -- she only remembers it because of the theme song xD
Bruh Guadalupe was literally my favorite fucking character she made me laugh so god damn much. I loved her voice and all the shit should would tell Ingrid. Damn dude
Remembering this show makes me realize how close the setting for the anime/manga "Murenase! Seton Gakuen". Two humans in a school filled with other animal species and trying to get along even tho (apart from being there 2 humans) the females of most species are normal human looking ones (even in size) while the males were kept animal looking.
I remember that one short from _My Gym Partner's A Monkey_ where Adam and Jake were taking a hibernation test by staying up all night and succeed only to fall asleep on the streets and got late for class.
This show haunts me sometimes randomly as "Sell, Sell, SELL SELL SELL" wanders its way back into my brain.
Wow what a message from the series finale. It’s so inspiring and thoughtful. I was not expecting that from this series.
do u care about your fellow human tell me u care about me i care about you
This was a great show! Really funny and should have lasted longer.
Ikr
do u care about your fellow human tell me u care about me i care about you
I definitely remember watching this show when it aired and thinking it was alright. But it’s not the reason for my great fondness of it. No, that would be the game that was on the CN website.
It was probably my favourite game on the site, when I think about it. The map was huge, from a kid’s perspective, and I still think there were some parts I haven’t seen, even with the countless hours I spend playing.
Sad that all those old games are not available anymore.
Oh my god I remember playing that game! Honestly a pretty detailed platformer. I don’t think i ever beat it, lol
I was OBSESSED with this game never beat it tho
Get you flashpoint and type hall of the wild 🤟🏿
I was only able to catch a few episodes of this show when it was airing, due to unfortunate life circumstances. But what I did get to see was decently funny. "My Gym Partner's A Monkey" is a good show, probably something I'd watch as background noise as well
Same
the episode i remember most fondly is where he goes back to regular school and its even worse than the animal school lol
The one thing I'll never forget about this show. Was principal bullfrog screaming "Hey you two! NO FORBIDDEN DANCE!". At their prom...
This show definitely brings back memories of waking up on a summer Saturday morning, pouring myself a bowl of Cheerios, and just doing nothing all day.
Funny that the only scene I remember from this show is the kid talking about how he’d be eating cereal and watching cartoons if he wasn’t in detention
I think it would be really cool if you discussed the ultimate crossover week where All of the cartoon Network shows experienced the same alien invasion over the course of 5 days. That was a really hype week
What
You have no idea how much I loved this show when I was a kid! Thank you for bringing this up, back then in my neighborhood it was a huge hit really. I fondly remember the times when we discussed new episodes with my buddies at school, good old times man.
Some episodes were pretty funny. The one with the glass doorknobs hypnotizing the animals led to a recurring joke between me and my sister lol
I'd say My Gym Partner's A Monkey is a mostly fine show. The creators of the show (Julie McNally Cahill and Tim Cahill) would achieve better success with creating Littlest Pet Shop (2012).
Nahhhhh my gym partners a monkey was better
I feel like there might be a slight bias showing here
@@rempletemple4274 Indeed, the show wasn't that successful, especially by being in the shadow of MLP FiM. Although it was a pretty neat show.
@@schris3 I'm talking about how, in terms of shows that Julie and Tim created, Littlest Pet Shop would be more successful than My Gym Partner's A Monkey. Both shows ran for 4 seasons, but LPS ran for 104 episodes while MGPAM ran for 52 episodes.
@@BlythePennyBicycle21 Longer running doesn't equal better quality. By that logic, shows like Spongebob and the Simpsons should be the greatest shows on earth, yet everyone is begging for them to finally end.
My brother was smitten with this show. I at the time wasn't but when I got older and needed a laugh this show hit the spot
Same, this show could have easily miss the mark on me, but somehow hit some good spots I didn't knew I had.
This channel is great, almost every video is about a show I remember but would’ve completely forgot about if I didn’t see these videos. It just opens up memories I forgot I even had
Jeez I totally forgot about how much I liked this show. It's crazy how you can bring back soooo many good memories with these videos. Thanks Jordan.
I ALWAYS find myself remembering that episode where the school was trying to have the students sell candy bars, and the song from it plays in my brain more often than I’d like to admit
“You gotta sell, sell, sell sell sell” mostly that smh
Reminds me of how I always remembered the theme song to Denver the Last Dinosaur, even though for many many years, I had no heard it since the late 80s. Somehow, still, I remembered everything, including all the lyrics.
To me that show always felt so underrated.
I really get whiplash thinking about those shows. Like I barely can comprehend how young I was when I watched those cartons...
Man... Time just flies...
One of my friends had a comic strip that was similar to this cartoon about a human kid who gets sent to a boarding school for centaurs. He's the only human there...
Use to be one of my favorites growing up. Thank you for unlocking yet another childhood memory brotha. Much love keep up the good work
"HE GAVE US THE *EECCCCHHHKKK*!" is just one of the moments from this show that's lived in my head rent free 👌😂☠
When the main characters name is the same as your own, you tend to remember it more.
This show had just enough weird situations, and colorful locations to keep me interested as a kid. The underwater episodes and the polar episode are some of my favorites
I’m 22 with very little memory of my childhood and this video brought backnso much, well done 👍🏽
LOL I was just humming the theme song to this show earlier this morning, was surprised as hell to see it on my feed.
You're on another level, man.
Also the shark bully with water headphones over his gills was genius.
I LOVED THIS SHOW AS A KID!!! Camp lazlo next pls if not done already 😄🙏🏾
Coming next week
Once again, you’ve suddenly brought back so many memories I wasn’t aware I even had. AND I LOVE IT 😌
do u care about your fellow human tell me u care about me i care about you
@@jasonanderson5034I care about you
God this show brings me back, I remember sitting in my room watching Cartoon Network on my box tv and reading comics in 2006.
They need a reboot called "My Gym Partners an NFT" 💯
I know this video isn't about Krypto the Super Dog but you mentioned it and I feel compulsion to talk about my strange relationship with that show. I watched one episode of it (it was one where Krypto takes the place of an old Firehouse dog, titled something making a jab at the "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" saying) but I loved it. In 1st grade we had a project to draw the different stages of a hurricane and for mine, in the stage 5 section, I drew Krypto saving a kid who got carried away by the hurricane. Well apparently the project was also a competition and I won said competition and got some neat books about different natural disasters.
Anyways that's it for my ramblings about Krypto the Super Dog on a video about My Gym Partner's a Monkey!
When the world needed him the most...
But seriously, it was such a great show. And the theme song was a banger.
I literally saw your channel on my recommended and your content is exactly what I like. Awesome 👍🏾
I’ve never forgot about this show. One of my favorite shows as a kid
Slips a hippy snake 😂😂
This is just pure nostalgia 😩
And yeah do Robot Boy next
That was also a great cartoon
I would love to see him do robot boy next
This show isn't that nostalgic imo lol.
The JimmyHere reference is appreciated 👍
I remember enjoying the show in middle school but honestly the only episode I can ever remember is the one with the hypnotizing glass door knob.
PRETTY PRETTY SHINY SHINY
It's one of my favorite shows. I love how Jake pronounces Grrl in that one episode, that deep growl he gets always makes me laugh
Remember that episode where Adam pissed off a hyena? You do
I remember this show, but the memories aren't very fond. Some jokes and writing hit pretty well, others missed. An overall, ok show.
Ya, I remeber this show poorly. Looking back, the jokes as a whole, were ok, but I didn't like Jake as a character or as a delivery system for butt jokes. I have no good memories of the show, but I don't have bad or hateful ones either. I remeber the show being boaring to me, which for a cartoon might be worse then being bad.
Good job. A lot of these shows are right from my slice of time glued to CN
Oh man, Krypto the Super Dog was a show I forgot I even knew of until you mentioned it. I used to love that show.
Fringe busting out another banger from my childhood, reading the inner writings of my mind again
Before becoming Luna Loud she started out as an ordinary boy from a more hyperactive boy as Chum-Chum!
i am so happy you did video on this i think about this show all the time for some reason. Fringemas has been amazing btw thank you!!
Thanks for the support!
This show was so funny and appreciate all the shows you bring back from my memories
really enjoying this series, thanks for reminding me of all the old hits! and thx for ur hard work on new vids everyday
Thank you for the support on them!
I've been waiting for this man. I loved this show and how weird it was. It's actually always been one of my favorites
I really enjoyed this as a kid but I tried to rewatch it as an adult a year back and couldn't get through more than 4 episodes because I was just uninterested. It's really one of those you'd watch and enjoy if it was on, but not activley seek out or anticipate.
And that's not a bad thing, most shows were like that back then because the TV way of viewing them. Most of my childhood favorites are like that.
This show just takes me back to middle school, I spent a lot of that time in our den where I made a ton of childhood memories. That’s where I watched pretty much every episode of this, for some reason. I won’t forget it
Loved until I hit puberty got distracted with training I wish I held onto my youth just a little longer I love your vids you are a legend Fringe sir I miss the days of old
In another 20 years there will be an oldies station just for 80s 90s 00s shows
Already is, it’s called boomerang, except when we were younger all it had on it was Scooby Doo haha
I didn’t mind the show but looking back, the butt humor can be a little tiring but overall I enjoyed the show. I remember playing the two games, Call of the Wild and The Big Field Trip on the Cartoon Network website. I recalled the creators pitching a revival of the series but the network was not interested in it.
wdym they pitched a revival
@@jakethebutt Basically, it was gonna be about older versions of the characters but the network rejected it. I think Adam was gonna be a principal but that’s it
@@kjsuperstar1798 oh
I’ll never forget but u reminded me how crazy that show was lol 😭😭💜 HAPPY NEW YEARS 2022!!!!🙏🏾💜
U just opened a whole can of memories when u finally helped me remember the show zixx
Finally, a show i know!!!
My fucking god this show has been in my head for months but i could not remember the name for the life of me i just remember i used to watch it a bunch
i was just watching clips of this show and couldnt find a full episode so glad you covered this.
This is one of my favorite cartoons growing up, thanks for the video, I needed to be reminded this show exists. Top Tier cartoon man.
🎵On The Fiftheenth Day of Fringemas Jordan Gave To Us A Video About A Monkey🎵
Absolutely loved this show!!
I loved this show as a kid wish I could go back to those days man 😔💯
Hey Arnold thanks for covering this Ernest. My buddy loves this series and comments on it alot. So it's cool to see a review of it and finally get a more general idea of the series. Wishing u a Merry Christmas again. Hope things get better for both u and the channel.
