Oh God, "The Monkey's Uncle". Well before my time, but somehow I watched it as a kid. Somehow, I've seen several of those '60s and '70s Disney movies with Tommy Kirk and Kurt Russell. They were... not great.
I’m sure someone else has already said this, but Mr. Smith was an orangutan, not a chimp.
“The Monkey’s Uncle” was actual a sequel to “The Misadventures of Merlin Jones” which I suspect Disney at one time thought had franchise potential.
And yes it’s weird that I’m familiar with both of those yet somehow completely missed the Seamonkeys show, but I did see the episodes of both The Simpsons and South Park the involved seamonkey civilizations worshipping them as gods.
Monkeys, like their primate cousins (us) are extremely aggressive and will bite and fuck you up. Watch out for them. If it's one of the primate strains that has figured out technology such as guns, knives, sharp sticks, forks and spoons filed down into knives I'd really use extra caution with them.
as i remember it the 'sea monkeys' were made of paper and they unfolded or some such shit when in the water- 'disappointed' cannot even come close - it showed me that grownups had no problem tricking children for money - I am still scarred
They actually were brine shrimp, and more often than not did come to life in water, but they were just weird tiiiiny bug things that were NOT entertaining. They did often die fairly quickly, as well.
Back then, they came from Mono Lake just east of Yosemite. Now I think most brine shrimp come from China, as well as the other main product from Mono Lake, pumice.
Once upon a time, long, long ago (circa early 90's) I got to meet the Sherman Brothers at the Magic Castle (I am not a magician, so that rule about magicians only is...flexible). They were sweet and funny, in an old vaudevillian sort of way. :) The Castle was pretty amazing and interesting too.
Apparently RFK Jr is having him "help" with the pre-screening (?) for prospective employees who would be working under RFK Jr if he's appointed to run HHS (😖😖) and my first thought was
Growing up in a city near Boston, MA, one of Mrs Mild’s neighbors owned a chimp (IIRC), who she would dress up, and bring around town. This was probably over 60 years ago.
The excellent movie Nope. also discusses TV chimps in a very realistic, yet depressing, way
It hurts my anthropologist's heart and brain every time someone refers to a chimpanzee as a 'monkey'.
WHAR Lancelot Link?
Extra treat: have your sea monkeys swim around in their undersea garden of Magic Rocks!

I am not sure how you can have Monkey's day without the Monkey's

For greater clarity in communicating with others, try using these suffixes:
ums -- to indicate good or positive attributes, re: "I love my doggums!"
burs -- to indicate bad or negative attributes, re: "What's wrong with that RFKburs?"

One does not simply hand Annette Funicello a tambourine and think one has done right by her.

I actually remember that Sea Monkeys show - it was really fucking weird.
All hail the creative genius of Howie Mandel.

mine might have been an earlier iteration - they were fucking paper things that came out of pods

I went outside today and things felt…different. The air smelled fresher, people seemed happier, the atmosphere was lighter….ah, that’s why.

"Isn't that narcissist Canadian?"
