My Gym Partner's a Monkey

Humour 1/10 horrible an not funny >:( Animation 5/10 my glorious eyes! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !





Grossness 3/5 can't stand anymore





Skunk Fu, Choppy chook (or wth the name is) and now this horrible crap. Omg cartoon network you destroyed our good glorious shows like Ed Edd and Eddy,K.N.D (KIDS NEXT DOOR) and all the other epic show i watch but this horse poo ruined the good moment of cartoon life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

Now, 'My Gym Partner's A Monkey!' I believe is actually pretty Okay.





The basic idea of the show where a kid goes to a school for animals is alright, and the animation is fair. The episode plots are quite interessting as well.





However, the one thing I'm not really keen on the show is how harsh the story and most of the animal characters (but minus Windsor, who is one of my fav. characters) can be on Adam. You have to admit, Young Adam Lyon can really get the short end of the stick most of the time. So, what I'm saying here is if the show can give Adam a brake and not be so hard on him, I think I could say this show is not 'Okay' but 'Very good'. But of course, this is just MY opinion.

Ok, so this show is about Adam Lyon, a normal kid who (because of his last name) is sent to an all-animal school. First of all I think that he gets sent there because of his last name is stupid. Secondly, the show itself is terrible. It's very boring alot, all the characters except Adam, manage to be stupid beyond belief, and yet they often doubt Adam. I hate Jake, because he's just an idiot. I hate the gorilla dude (can't remember his name) because he acts like the voice of reason when that's Adam's job )and also his voice is one of the most annoying I've ever heard in a tv show.) 2/10 F-

This show was really dumb with how they came up with the plot and the title. I hated the old episodes they were stupid and Adam was a wuss, but I will admit I liked SOME of the newer episodes, they were not all bad and plus they were way better than the old ones. Never got into this show and was pretty much of a waste, but not all of it. I knew it never had a future since on how dumb it looked and possibly the lack of viewers that would've brought. So I'll just put this to poor since it wasn't all of a waste. Final Grade: D-

Adam Lyon gets moved into a animal school and befriends a spider monkey.Well,I kind of like this show and just like I said about Happy Tree Friends and Total Drama Island,I don't even care about the gross food and monkey poo on the walls.My favorite character on this show is Slips,the snake.He's kind of cool on this show and Lupe is one of my Favorites too.You or some people don't like the fact that the school is really gross and of course of jake's big butt.I really like this show and all of what it does all the time and stuff like that.

It's tough being a lone wolf defending a cartoon you know is great but nobody else seems to think so! I'd love it if I knew what it was about this show that people don't like, but my animal instincts tell me I probably wouldn't like the answers. Take "The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, Teenage Mut-ant Ninja Turtles, Pokemon, Aqua Teen Hunger Force," & "The Simpsons." Nobody thought they'd make new episodes for as long as they did or are, & each show's managed to last at least 5 years on the air. I never would've guessed that 7 years after it's debut "Spongebob Squarepants, Ed, Edd, & Eddy" would still be going strong! I don't care if other people say I'm wrong, I like this show & nothing will persuade me otherwise! This is one great show that I love to watch! The End! :D

Okay, since my old review is deleted, I'll review again, so... Yes. Cartoon Network used to be good, until... My Gym Partner's a Monkey came on to CN. Let's talk about CN.





CN (which stands for Cartoon Network, in which, since it's owned by Turner, you don't have to get confused with CNN.) makes new shows every year where it's good (Chowder, Camp Lazlo, Billy & Mandy) and some that're bad. No, I lied. Cartoon Network has gone bad. And I mean bad. No, I lied. Cartoon Network is now currently the worst kids network ever with Nickelodeon & The Disney Channel combined. Lemme settle this, Cartoon Netowrk is bad, TickleU is weak, Boomerang is okay and [adult swim] is good.





Anyway, back to My Gym Partner. It seems that it's too much for a kid show which talks about butts. And lots of it. Why? C'MON! I mean some kid shows have better jokes like adult shows. But not this show. And then, it gets worse. After the butt joke, the animation has... oh noes!





Comic Book Guy: Worst... Animation... Ever!





Like Jeff Anderson the comic book guy said, this has the worst animation ever. And it's a bad thing. Back to the jokes, the butt jokes are... please, that's too many. Therefore, the other jokes suck. Which means it gets boring as hell.





(An example would be a 15-second video of a dog bored to death & sleeping while a fitting song plays)





Yes, the show is bad and boring. Including the jokes. But we got butts. YAY! XD Just kidding.

The good: Qualiy Animation hits the spot, Music isn't very cheesy


The bad: Lacks humor and a plot, the name of the show doesn't make sense, since the show is rarely seen in the gym.





Plot: 4/10


Animation: 7/10


Sound: 7/10


Humor: 5/10


Why don't you (insert word) and be somebobdy: 5/10


Average Score: 5.6/10





Cartoon Network has really gone downhill since 2004. Great shows such as Camp Lazlo, Foster's, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and Ed Edd N' Eddy are gone or nearly gone. The only two shows that really keep CN alive are Chowder and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Not this show. Had My Gym Partner's a Monkey been filled with better humor and plot, it would be worth watching.





The show is basically about a 12 year old boy who went to Chester Arthur Middle School, but was transferred to Charles Darwin Middle School (a animal school), becuase his last name (lyon) was spelled as Lion, therefore giving him free will of being transferred there. Then, the misadventures begin. He meets and befriends a spidermonkey named Jake, who is obsessed with his butt and wears his green hat backwards.





I have some positives about the show, like the animation. It isn't sloppy, but not great. The music is also swell, and the voice acting isn't lacking either. However, the humor isn't that good, and Jake's butt thing gets old fast. And many times, the animals say stuff that begin to be obvious to the viewer, such as That darn Platypus, when Jake flashes the camera in Principal Pixiefrog and Mrs. Warthog's faces, they say "we're blind! we're blind! we're blind! we're blind". That's more obvious than it is funny.





Overall, don't watch this show if you want first class plot or humor. You're better off watching episodes of Camp Lazlo or Foster's than this if they're still around. MGPAM wasn't really cut to be a CN show in the first place.

This is a bad show that I really could've done without. The premise of this show isn't bad, but it fails because it doesn't produce good material. The plots are unoriginal, and poorly written. The storylines nearly always go in the wrong direction. The characters are flat, and Jake{my least favorite character} is an annoying jerk, and he's cruel to Adam. The humuor is just pathetic. Most of it is just Jake making cracks about his buttocks. And when the writers do make a funny joke, they ruin it by repition. Overall, this show is unintelligent, and a waste of time. If you want to see a good show on Cartoon Network, watch something intelligent. Like Dexter's Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, or Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Don't even waste your time on this show.

Full Review(Please read the review)





Art 7/10 - The art style is okay, the animals are detailed. Honestly, most of the time, whenever I see the animals, weirdly I become horny, and oddly I liked it. I'm really not kidding!





Storyline 5.5/10 - Not impressive, actually cliche. Adam lyon being transported to an animal school because of his last name. Then....after that, some of the episodes


contains plots that doesn't even make scene!





Characters 6.8/10 - Some characters I like, while most of them I really hate( epspecially Jake ).





Voiceacting 9/10 - Excellent performance, but some voiceacting on some character I find anonnying as hell. Even Adam, sorry.





Plot 4/10 - I don't think the storyline is done properly here. I mean, it's sort of a parody of Todd when he is new to Wayside school in the pliot, except on My Gym Partner's a Monkey the plot becomes cliche and just useless.





Diaglogue 3/10 - Some of the "butt" jokes that Jake are really not funny and sometimes just gross. And some other character say things that are most of the time repitive and stupid!





Animation 5.5/10 - The animation is okay, but it needs alot of work and whenever time where things need to be done well, it's the oppisite! Not to mention that the animation has bugs in on it.





Presentation 6.5/10 - Sone scenes are funny, while on some scenes are just retarded and things that is anonnying and really reduntant.





Overall 5/10 - This show is not too bad, but it's not that great. If you're fan of animal schools or comendic cartoons then this show is for you, but if you're neither of the two people then this show isn't recommanded.

It's spongebob squarepants, but better. Tom Kenny (voice of Spongebob) is does the voice of Jake Spidermonkey, one of Adam's (a human in an animal school) animal friends. I don't understand how the show can have such a low rating when it's so brilliant. The characters are phenomenal and unique. The writing is superb (maybe even better than Spongebob Squarepants, but definitely very similar). Many people find this show to be unoriginal, which is true, because it does feel like it's a replica of Spongebob, but it brings something new to the table. It brings in a new character: a normal person. This changes everything. There's a normal person surrounded with crazy spongebob-like characters. That's new.

From my understanding this show is about some adolescent named Adam LYON, not Lion, LYON. Anyway, somewhere in Idiots of A, A school district worker screws up records and unwittingly transfers poor Adam to an animal school. No body seems notice the issue and when an incompetent Warthog of a secretary and a corrupt Principal Frog who's priority is evading lawsuits (yet child endangerment is not a problem) seem to actually figure out that Adam is a human, the situation only becomes an awkward conversation where Adam says "everyone knew" to the response of the Frog saying "oh............." But it gets worse, Adam reluctantly becomes friends with a mentally retarded Spidermonkey and his gang of nit-wit friends saying to America: "HEY KIDS!!!! Be stupid!! Its cool since its on TV and not a video game"





Jack Thompson, Shut your mouth, stop harassing GTA developer Take Two and attack something like this! So far not a single activist has attacked the series of stupid shows like Out of Jimmy's Head, Camp Lazlo, Squirrel Boy, Flapjack, Chowder, and all the other things that contributed to what I call the "Stupid Flare" that started in the late 80's and continues to this day. Parents, don't let your kids get impressionable off of this trash, tune to the history, Discovery, and military channel.

Back when this was on in 2005-2006 or somewhere around that time,I had a lov-hate relationship with this show. I loved it because it was funny at times,and it had some fairly good characters. But I hated it because it was too gross at times,and it was often the chain-breaker for those Billy and Mandy marathons that used to be on Cartoon Network. And now that it's no longer airing and no longer in production, I can't honestly say that I love it or hate it. I haven't seen it in a long time, and I'm gonna rate this show a 6.0 . -wolvesrule221

So we have a human, an average human. However, he ends up at a new school with a bunch of talking animals (in a cartoon-verse where this isn't a commonly accepted fact of life). The jokes are horrible and inmature; butt jokes seem to be the wittest this show gets at times. Other episodes are just too bizare for us to take in (particulary one involving the zoo animals new classmate, a puppet). The animation is lackluster and the voice acting is annoying. As are the characters, thier just too quirky or annoying. And let's face it: inter species dating is wierd!

THis show... I dunno how to describe it. It has good points, yes... but SO many bad points... it-it it just... baffels me!





Good Points;


Well, it had a good animation counter point.


It's original... in a weird, conspiculant way.


It's voices are... good





Bad points;


Where do I start? Oh, okay;


The animation can also go choppy.


Story's not original.


The characters act so... dumb.


I am BEFUDDLED on how dialoge sounds evil and bad.


The theme song.... horrendus.





Entertainment factor; I'm generous, so I give this a c-.





Overall; Just, don't watch the show. It's kinda.... a waste of time. If you like to learn how to draw animals and how to attract good vocals, I say watch the show. Other than that, I do not recommened it.

A 12 year old boy transfers to a school for animals because for some reason, the school district thought he was a lion. In there, he meets a monkey who speaks English like all the other animals on this show. Crazy things occur each day, but each time, it just gets more annoying. I've seen it too many times that is all I have to say. I mean, a boy and a monkey? Hahaha! Is that supposed to be funny? It is not! The crude jokes just make it impossible to stand. Even Camp Lazlo is better than this. If you like this show, I guess you just have a different definition of humor than I do. To me, it is obnoxious and annoying.

My Gym Partner's a Monkey was a show that just wasn't great. okay.





But not perfect.





The show had it's moments, sometimes it was pretty funny. Trust me folks, the show was not Cartoon Network's greatest, chances are that it will be a show that will be forgotten.





The show is a little underrated though, some people really hate it. I'll tell you that it isn't bad as they say. It's not awesome though.





As of today, the show is canceled. If you've never seen it, you really haven't missed anything.





Thanks for reading my review. - a n d e r s o n 5 8 7

this show is horrid.it makes animals look stupid expecially monkeys.and the plot is:JAKES BUTT!every time jakes stinky butt is in the center of the show!haha a but how freaken funny.NOT!!!and that kid adam is soo annoying!hes 12 but he looks like hes 6.and hes allways wyning how hes life is miserable!hello,we are just kids not psychatrests!and its stupid how the animals have clothes and hair.its only cute in disney movies!and they are cheerleaders,nerds,goths,punkers...gimme a break!so that would make lupe tucan naked and bald ha?and how can a rhino teacher teach kids about hunting meat?he eats plants duh!and the humor is stupid :toalet humor and jakes butt.and they copied some stuff from the greatest show ever:beavis and butthead!for example b&b were selling candy and they bought candy from eichoter so they ony made 2 bucks.adam and jake did the same thing when they were also selling candy.how dare they copy b&b!i hope this poor exuce for a show gets canceled soon!

This show is not good show.I actually thought it was okay until last year I realized how unfunny the show was.Jake is so annoying,all he does talk how big his butt.That's unfortuantly that's where Jake's jokes come from.Adam should not deserve to be stuck in Animal School at all,he should belong in a regular human public school.Pricipal Pixiefrog all he talks about how the school is going to get sued and getting lawsuits.Adam's animal friends don't really understand Adam at all.Adam is annoying as well with his whining,voice.The show is one bad show.To me it's the worst Cartoon Network original animated show ever.This is LSUstinks11 telling you have a nice day.

This show is pretty weird I understand why some people don't get it (heck half of the time I don't get it). If you can watch and really listen to the jokes you might hear some that only adults will understand. For example "If you cover yourself in mud Predators can't see you" (Shows a predator... like from the movie predator) "its true"


Now I don't know many ten year olds that would get that joke. Now I really like some of these episodes and dislike others. There are some that are just so off the wall they just don't make sense. But in closing. Give the show a chance if you get past the talking animal part you may really like some of the jokes.

Not a really good show.It has a lot of stupid jokes and episodes that have no meaning.I dont get this show.Any way this show sometimes has good episodes.Like animal school musical.That one was very great,but it also has really crappy episodes.This show is kinda destroying Cartoon Network.I think Jake makes the show a little better because he is funny.But still this show has a lot of boring episodes that really dont make any sense.Like the movie!Why would animals of CDMS be afraid of wild animals,that are not even tigers,lions, or something like that but afraid of the cute little ones!That is VERY stupid!I only watch it when I have nothing better to do...

I just don't see the humor in this show, and I think it was another show that Cartoon Network made thinking it would be popular, unfortunately its not! But that is just my opinion, in this show we got a kid named Adam Lyon but was transfered to an all animal school because of a typo and his last name was Lion. Seems really farfetched to me and unrealistic, first off in real life there is no School set up for animals never mind a kid with a first name that is not an animal being accidentally transfered to one! Cartoon Network haven't done a very good job with this show, more talking animals and has some of the most disgusting hunor you could think of, and the Animation and graphics I think are not so hot either, yet another show that didn't score so well that was made by Cartoon Network! I am sorry but I just don't find this show appealing and humorous at all. it is just another disappointment, and is one where I think that chooses the wrong directions, I don't think this show is healthy for your brain either, plus is a show that I think isn't exactly a good example for kids to watch! It was one of the starting shows that caused Catoon Network to be rolling downhill, That is what I think!

This show is an excuse for CN because they don't want good shows anymore. I used to like but it began to suck. One of the reasons it sucks is because of it's annoying butt jokes. I hate jokes like that. On a forum I read this statement "This show is better than Danny Phantom or Ed, Edd, n Eddy. Those people are big liers. Whoever thinks or says that better disagree. Both those shows have a btter rating and more fans than haters. So believe it! This show is as bad as Squirrel Boy(Mother ******) and Out of Jimmy's Head(The biggest failure tv ever had.)(Mother******) and all the rest of CN's shows except Camp Lazlo. Overall, this show and all its episodes should be put in a rocket, sent to the Sun and burn to ashes for all I care!

This is a good show, even though it's unoriginal. Like I said, it's good to watch it when you are bored. The only things I don't like about this show is how Jake always is addicted to his butt a lot. It's really annoying. But the rest of it is pretty good. But, for one thing, I don't like want it there forever. If it was on when I was bored it would be good. But if it is there and I want something else,it seems stupid. But the idea of a human kid being in an animal school is cool.

My Gym Partner's a Monkey is okay if nothing good is on. Some of the jokes and plots are hilarious, while others are really corny and just plain stupid. The overall plot is completely idiotic with humans sends a boy to an animal school, because his last name is "Lion". There is befriends a stupid monkey, who is only interested in his own butt. Once again, it is completely idiotic! I here that this show is getting cancelled pretty soon (in early 2009), and I am so happy that this show will no longer waste valuable space on Cartoon Network's time slot.

It's sad to see that CN's thriving to match the today's youth interests in Slapstick humor,as well as the mixture of old-school gag humor,they maed the mistake of making such a show as this.In a poor attempt to copy Nickelodeon's Spongebob Squarepants or their own Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy,they lost any structure or meaning.Although there are some good jokes,and some episodes,although rare,are mediocre.The characters are mostly steriotype,as far as anthropomorphic animals and the only kid in school, Adan Lion (but his real surname is Lyon, which can be seen in the shows opening sequence) can go.Adam's best friend is a monkey who goes by the name of Jake Spidermonkey.He is self-centered,narcissistic,too emotional ect.Seem familiar,doesn't it?Well,that is because it's just one of those people who use their friends out,although they don't (usually) mean it.Other friends of Adam include:Windsor,the over intelligent and rather analytic gorilla,Slips, the "Dude-Guy",who's a snake.Also there is Lupe,an Latino inspired Pelican,and lastly, there is Principal Pixiefrog,the law suit avoider.Some other characters also appear regularly,but not worth to mention.To sum it all up,the show is mediocre,but only at times.In any other way it's rather bad.

5th review.





I'm sorry but show is not really good of a show. well there are many reasons that is not good.





Like the plot for instant,


It's about a kid name adam who goes to has to go to an animal school because his last name is lyon? huh? what? that plot is so unriginal and it's pretty stupid too





and this annoys me that jake always shakes his butt and he's addicted to his butt in every episode! and there are hints that jake is gay and he's into adam


1. he wanted to date Adam in one episode


2. he like this girl band call Grrrrrrl Power


& 3. he wanted to be a cheerleading





well somtimes it funny's sometime it's random and sometimes it's joke are not funny at all


this is the reason I give a 4.2





ok that's all I got to say, peace out!

Okay, This review deserves the angry treatment. This Show Sucks!!! It's the worst cartoon ever. Worst than Pokemon, worst than any anime that sucks. Worst than Out of Jimmy's Head, Squirrel Boy, NBB, worst than even Jamie Lynn Spears. If it weren't for Ben 10, Ed Edd and Eddy, Naruto, Bleach, Blood+, Death Note, Chowder, Eureka Seven, One Piece, DBZ, Ghost in the Shell, Samurai Champloo, FMA, and Trinity Blood, Cartoon Network would be dead.





The Plot? Well it's about a butt-ugly animated boy with a really crappy voice, who goes to a really crappy school for animals. This plot makes meat-eaters and PETA want to join forces to destroy this crappy show. The plot sucks, the animation sucks, the voices suck[excluding Phil LaMarr, Maurice LaMarche, and Brian Doyle Murray], and this is the worst show Cartoon Network has ever made. This gets a 0 out of 10, but since it needs a number, 1 out of 10, avoid unless watching really crappy shows[similar to AVGN playing crappy games], NBB[despite it's crappy storylines] is better than this piece of C.R.A.P.

Gym partners a Monkey is a very generic cartoon hated and loathed by many , liked by some but generally hated and despised for it uninspiring simplistic plot, potty humor(disgusting humor)and stupid immature characters, this is just the point of view a majority of people believe heres my point of view which I must say I mostly optimistic in this review rather than negative in fact this is maybe the only more optimistic negative review about this show you will ever read. When I first heard about this show I thought this show was extremely stupid especially considering the fact the title has nothing to do with the shows plot, it does not fit the show since the show is not about a young pubescent having a animal (monkey) as a Gym Partner it feels like they just came up with any random title that had something to do with the show. In reality this show is really about a young kid named Adam Lion who gets transfered to a school dominated by animals because they thought that his name Lion meant that he was a animal sounds ridiculous right but since this is a cartoon I don't mine ..too much. the source of the comedy is really Jake spidermonkey from his abnormal types of humor such as tapping his rear , digging his nose . believe or not I think the show gives a scarce illusion to homosexuality from when Jakes desires to go to the prom with his male companion to when he secretly finds joy is touching his bottom there are some decent jokes here and there but nothing too special and a little morals for the kiddies the voice of reason is usually Adam Lion the freckled face orange haired protagonist of this show plot usually begins with the protagonist done some thing wrong and he has to fixed it their episodes that focus on newly introduced characters , some episodes that explore why the protagonist is even a school full of animals their some really disgusting episodes that revolve around Jake don't get me wrong I like sick humor but the sick humor in this show is executed terribly. any who this show is okay but by no means great so you are a fan of animation fan who likes stupid sick humor this show is for you but if you are looking for some thing new and not derivative this show is not for you .

For those who dont like this show along with the But Jokes, Get a Sense of Humor for God Sakes. You people know nothing about Humor. I like this show, Its funny and its enjoyable for me. My Friends all like it. Seriously Jesus! I liked it since I first watched it on December 26, 2005 while playing with my Thomas & Friends new wooden set with Thomas and Culdee and I found it mildly Interesting! Considerably I found the animation got better on the 2nd episode. Even so it got better and better within each episode, I especially enjoy the episode where Jake made his butt talk! So people who like this show, you know true Humor!
