There was a period in the 90s when every movie or tv show needed to have a monkey. Why did it happen? Which one was your favorite?

Why would the guy who's a stickler for the scientific establishment be okay with housing an illegal capuchin monkey in his NYC apartment? What if it transmitted diseases? What if it went crazy and tried to rip someone's eyes out? Doesn't make sense for Ross at all.

No shit. My point is that before Toonami made anime mainstream in America, and infused Japanese culture with hip-hop culture, shines didn’t give a fuck about Japan. We’re now seeing the endgame of that; the little nigglets who grew up watching Dragon Ball Z and Naruto are now adults going to Japan, and because they can’t be respectable human beings, they’re fucking shit up for the Japanese now. I’m not going to hold back on the jigaboos because I’m being lumped in with their monkey shines, and I don’t much appreciate that shit.

Monkey keepers at the time made them available, so productions which had an open slot for some sort of sidekick got floated the idea and referred if they were interested. It's the same reason you had so many helicopter stunts from the 70s-90s. Vietnam vets came home, made companies restoring, maintaining and flying choppers for airshows and stunts for movies so they started including them since they were available. These kinds of availability based fads are common. The one right now is that one serbian? turbolanklet basketball player who's playing a monster in every other movie because his frame is grotesque to begin with but with additional makeup and maybe a little cg you can have something really wacky.
>>
For me, it was pic related. I would watch it over and over, but not because of the monkey.

chimps have always been popular in film and tv until animal rights activists decided that we couldn't have monkino anymore.
>>
>>220599374
that was why they had the period of historical epic movies in the 50s-60s. it was specific to that era because that generation had fought a world war so audiences were attuned to movies with huge armies marching around on screen and fighting battles.
