Ode to the Evil Monkey

by Wendy on October 23rd, 2008

Evil Monkey
A monkey that lives in Chris’s closet. Whenever Chris mentions it, he looks in the general direction of his bedroom, upon which the monkey is seen pointing at him shakily, and then returning to Chris’s room, much to Chris’s horror. Chris tries to tell his family about the existence of the Evil Monkey but, so far, only Stewie believes him. In the show’s universe, the monkey was not originally evil, but became so after catching his wife in bed with another monkey, which, according to Seth MacFarlane, leaves him “not so much evil as embittered”. When Chris is out of the house, the Evil Monkey is having time off from gesturing and likes to smoke pot and listen to Foghat. As of It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One, he is now a Jehovah’s Witness. The only other characters who have seen the monkey are Peter (in “Stewie Loves Lois”), Brian’s son Dylan (in “The Former Life of Brian) and Old Man Herbert. Peter mistook the monkey for Meg, so he still doesn’t appear to know he exists, and Herbert slept through the whole encounter, but Dylan approaches and viciously assaults the monkey as soon as he emerges to threaten Chris. Although the Evil Monkey was originally intended as a small time gag (similar to the Giant Chicken and The Performance Artist), he has gained cult status amongst Family Guy fans and is extremely popular amongst most fans and non-fans alike. - source
