My Gym Partner's a Monkey

The show was funny in my opinion. It was well animated, written and voice acted. The show's about a kid named Adam Lyon (Nika Futterman) who gets accidentally transferred to a school that serves animals where he befriends a spidermonkey named Jake (Tom Kenny) along with several other classmates. The way this school is set up is cool. There're pipes that Adam and Jake use to get to class and it looks fun. The jokes are funny too. There's one episode where Adam saves a magic fish named David Coppertrout who offers to grant him a wish which causes him to get harressed by everyone who wants it. The voice actors have good chemistry. I like how they play off eachother. The show ended years ago but I still have fond memories of this show. It could be gross at times but aside from that it was still enjoyable. I'd say check it out.

The trailer for this show certainly caught my attention in my childhood because of the premise. I thought it was an interesting idea of a human going to an animal school, but when I saw the show, I was pretty disappointed in how the concept was handled.

You'd think a human attending an animal school would make an excellent social commentary, but instead it's just a barrage of stupidity and butt jokes. The humor in this show was very mean-spirited toward the protagonist, Adam Lyon, who always gets into trouble due to the antics of his "best friend," Jake Spidermonkey, who's always obsessing over his butt and generally being moronic and unreliable. Adam is also a frequent victim of physical abuse by his animal classmates, and the staff is too incompetent to do anything about it, not even bothering to fix the typo that got Adam transferred there in the first place.

While the voice performances were well-done, the writing for this show was far too ridiculous and mean-spirited, even for Cartoon Network, and I'm not a fan of the character designs. However, I still think more could've been done with the premise, and I'd love to see it explored again someday.

My Gym Partner's A Monkey was a show I watched back in the mid 2000's on Cartoon Network as a kid but I haven't seen it since 2014. The show was about a kid named Adam who goes to a Animal School meets Jake Spider Monkey Voiced By Tom Kenny and others Animals. The Show was On Cartoon Network From December 2005- November 2008 ending with the Thanksgiving Episode. Anyway the show was alright. 6/10

I actually love this show! It has a great premise and some creative re-imaginings of many tales from all our school days and even some new ones. Throw in crazy animal antics and you've got a winning formula. The voice acting is great and pays wonderful attention to the mannerisms of the animals. There is a plethora of wonderful character voices as well as those that recollect the usual suspects from school. (The deep, smart kid, the superficial popular crowd, the school bully, even the optimistically depressed guidance counselor).

Instead of having to just adjust to the rigors of middle school, poor Adam Lyon needs to adjust to an innumerable amount of different species that all have their own ins and outs that make day to day differences hilarious. Sure there are a lot of easy gags like fart or butt jokes, but I think I'm mature enough to admit that they're still funny....and always will be. Whether it's trying to fit in at the school dance, learning why it might not be okay to bring a hamburger for lunch, or competing against a dolphin in the school science fair, it will never be a dull day at Charles Darwin Middle School.---- Fart Jokes rule.

Too be honest I really don't have many memories the few I do have are OK. I re watched some episodes a week ago just to see if it was any good and it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. I love Tom Kenny in it but that about it. So if you're bored or want to try something new then maybe you should try this show.
