Code Monkeys

Code Monkeys is an animated television program about a fictional video game country called GameaVision in the early 1980s. The show was created by Adam de la Pe'a. Dave and Jerry are the two focal employees on the show. Dave is the slacker counterpart to Jerry, who is high strung and neurotic. Both work with other eccentric coworkers in Sunnyvale, California, a city in the Silicon Valley. The humor is light and childish at times, but it appeals to the video game crowd due to its heavy reliance on video game references and inside jokes. Most of the jokes and references come from video games during the 8-Bit era, including River City Ransom, Castlevania, Mega Man, Contra, Ikari Warriors, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, and Super Mario Bros. Well-known video game developers also make cameos as video game characters in the series, pitching ideas for their own games. The show originally aired from July 2007 to September 2008 for two seasons. MORE
