Wise Monkey (17/365)

Project 365 (2009) - Day 17

 

This chap is "Monkey". He shot to stardom about 10 years ago in the UK fronting the advertising campaign for On Digital, the first digital terrestrial television service, with his comedian friend Johnny Vegas (playing the character Al).

 

They now advertise PG Tips tea and you can see their latest ad here: (well worth a look!)

This is actually a parody of an old Morecambe and Wise sketch. Morecambe and Wise were a British institution on Saturday night TV in the 70s and 80s and you can see the original sketch here: (again, WELL worth a look - this is comedy genious)

Despite having to use pins to hold his hands (paws?) in place, no monkeys were harmed in the making of this image. Honest.

 

(His t-shirt says "Sidekick" by the way)
