4.0 out of 5 stars Funny and enjoyable animated homage to video games, May 21, 2008

Originally airing on the G4 network, Code Monkeys is from the same minds behind Adult Swim's Minoriteam, which will either tell you right now if this is up your alley or not. Code Monkeys revolves around a crew of video game developers in the 80's, and the crazy hijinks that ensue when they get a new boss in the form of the gun-toting, money hungry Texan Larrity. The main characters the show revolves around are sissy-boy Jerry and the wisecracking Dave; who are among a crew that also features a role-playing nerd and the lone black employee. What follows involves the crew tangling with Hitler's descendants, taking a trip to prison, and getting the chance to make a game based on Steven Spielberg's E.T. (one of the absolute best episodes of the whole series). While Code Monkeys is often inspired lunacy with some great visual gags, there are a number of moments where no one will be laughing. However, the good very much outweighs the bad with Code Monkeys, and the show as a whole is very enjoyable, with enough old-school video game references to make any gamer smile. If you've never watched Code Monkeys before but dig much of the Adult Swim comedy programming, chances are you'll dig this as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Priceless. South Park for gamers., July 11, 2008

By	Raul Duke "Gonzo HST" (Pittsburgh) - See all my reviews

Code Monkeys hasnt been around for too long yet, but ive been watching since day one and loving every minute of it. like my title says, its totally for gamers. most others wont get a lot of the inside jokes, but anybody who gets these kinds of shows, will be cracking up at the majority of the running jokes, and crazy characters. everything is in true 8-bit style, from the characters to the effects and backgrounds, it truly is a genious idea, and one of the best adult cartoons around. hilarious.

i started watching this show from the first episode and it is one of the funniest things you can find on tv today specially if your a gamer. the references and jokes towards games/people of the past and present are hilarious. ill definitely be buying this set when its released. if your a gamer or fan of animation do yourself a favor and pick this one up!. also dont forget to catch season 2 currently airing new episodes on G4TV sunday nights at 10pm.
