Mi compañero de clase es un mono

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.

There are two things that go through my mind when I watch My Gym Partner's a Monkey: 1) It is a cartoon 2) Comedy. I suspect if I were living in some bizzaro cartoon universe, anything is possible i.e. my jaw dropping to the ground, and my tongue dragging on the floor.

Back to the cartoon itself. As Jake's last name is Lion; subsequently he is shifted from a human school to an animal school. Basically Charles Darwin School is used to educate young animals. Again, this scenario could be possible in a cartoon universe. Jake Spider-Monkey and Adam Lion are best friends, and they get up to all sorts of stuff. One of my favorite episodes is, when the animals from Charles Darwin School, stayed at Adam's house for the night.

For a cartoon that has been produced on the cheap, I like it, because it is funny. If you want realism, well go and watch Nat Geo, or Discovery. It is a cartoon, Jake Spider-Monkey and Adam Lion can do anything they want, ranging from a talking Spider-Monkey, to being transferred to an animal school.

Nevertheless, my Gym Partner's a Monkey, could be a metaphor for school. Looking back at my youth, there is one place that could come close to a zoo, and that is high school, as the kids are out of control, and all the students are tearing each other to bits.

I have to give the my Gym Partner's a Monkey 8/10. That theme song is going to haunt me, until the day I die.

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 is an odd show featuring talking animals and a boy named Adam Lion.

Anywho, I got bored one time so I decided to go to Channel 36 which over here is Cartoon Network. And this show happened to be on and I seemed to enjoy it. It's slightly funny, but keep you watching.

I usually don't like the new shows on Cartoon Network except Camp Lazlo (only a slight bit), The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and this show. Also, I usually don't like children television shows because it's lack of cussing, violence, etc.. But this one was okay.

I recommend this for parents to show their children if they are not too old to watch it and still think children shows are funny.. like the simple bong on the head or tripping..

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.
