Monkeys on "INVADER ZIM" Monkeys on "The Simpsons" Monkeys on "Invader ZIM"

This page is the newest (and LAST) addition to the T.V. Monkey family. I originally began compiling a list of monkey references on The Simpsons because it was my favorite show, and... well... i'm not sure how the monkeys got involved; i think i've just got them on the brain or something. Well anyway, The Simpsons is not my favorite anymore, Invader ZIM is; so i thought i'd collect references from there now, if for no other reason than to give a little extra press to what i feel is an excellent but underrated show. It's already been cancelled, BTW :(

The monkey i've used as an "icon" for this page (the large image at the upper left) is referred to here as "The Scary/Angry Monkey." That's because the first time he is mentioned (in Walk of Doom), GIR calls him "The Scary Monkey;" and the second time (in Hamstergeddon), GIR calls him "Angry Monkey."
