Willy The Comedian Monkey

How do monkeys greet each other in the jungle? With a banana shake!

By Damion TrimmierPublished about a year ago 4 min read

Once upon a time, in the dense jungles of Borneo, there resided a loquacious Proboscis Monkey named Willy. The locals were fond of him, not only for his gregarious personality, but also for his large sniffer, which resembled a certain male appendage. However, little did they know that Willy possessed a special talent, a talent that would soon launch him to stardom and prosperity.

One day, while Willy was frolicking through the treetops, he overheard a group of humans chuckling and wisecracking. Intrigued, he tiptoed closer to eavesdrop. And that's when it happened - he heard a human utter, "What is a monkey's favorite fruit? Ape-ricots!" It was a foolish jest, but the humans found it uproarious. And Willy, being the quick learner that he was, echoed the joke to himself.

Over the ensuing days, Willy spent all his waking moments soaking up human humor and perfecting his mimicry. He mastered all kinds of jokes - knock-knock jokes, puns, one-liners, and even some raunchy jokes that he didn't quite comprehend. Nonetheless, he knew they elicited laughter from the humans, and that was all that mattered.

Before long, Willy was conversing fluently in human tongue. His simian peers were astounded and a tad unnerved. They had never encountered anything like it before. Nevertheless, Willy didn't fret. He was too preoccupied honing his craft. He dedicated hours every day rehearsing his jokes to himself, and one day his diligence paid off.

One day, a group of animal poachers entered his family's section of the jungle. When they invaded the region, all of the monkeys began to shriek and hurriedly gathered their young ones into the treetops. When Willy witnessed the poachers brandish their guns, he leaped from the treetop and onto the ground. Initially, he delivered some inoffensive japes about the poachers, ones that he knew wouldn't offend anyone. But then he unleashed his secret weapon - the phallic jokes.

"Hey folks, have you ever seen a nose as big as mine?" he asked, indicating his nose. "It's so mammoth, I could use it as a third leg!"

The poachers, initially baffled, burst into peals of laughter. Willy continued, "And you know what they say about guys with big noses, don't you? They're always sticking their noses where they don't belong!"

The humans howled with mirth, while the monkeys looked on in astonishment. But Willy didn't mind. He was reveling in the moment of his life.

At the end of his show, he implored the poacher to spare his family. They granted his request, although they settled with an agreement for him to entertain the locals.

As the weeks passed by, Willy's popularity surged throughout the island. He was eventually invited to travel and perform at comedy clubs all over southeast Asia, and eventually, he began receiving offers from other countries. He had become an instant sensation, and everybody wanted a piece of him.

However, with fame came new predicaments. Willy found himself grappling to concoct fresh material, and he was perpetually being stalked by the paparazzi. He couldn't go anywhere without being recognized, and he yearned for the days when he could swing through the treetops in peace.

And then, one day, it transpired. Willy was performing at a colossal comedy festival in Jakarta, when he suddenly froze up. He couldn't recall his next joke, and His fans ranged from the poorest of the poor to the wealthiest of the wealthy, and everyone in between.

Just as he was about to run offstage, a voice whispered in his ear. It was one of the humans who had taught him to speak.

"Remember why you started doing this," the voice said. "You wanted to make people laugh. Just relax and have fun."

And so Willy took a deep breath, and he did something he had never done before. He ad-libbed.

"Hey, did you hear about the monkey who got a nose job?" he asked the crowd. "He ended up looking like a baboon!"

The crowd laughed, and Willy grinned. He was back in his element. He continued with more improvised jokes, each one funnier than the last. The crowd was loving it, and Willy felt a surge of pride and relief wash over him.

By the time he finished his set, the audience was on its feet, giving him a standing ovation. Willy bowed, tears flowing from his eyes. He had never felt more alive.

Willy's fame spread like wildfire, and from that day on, Willy continued to perform, but with a new sense of purpose. He realized that it wasn't just about making people laugh - it was about connecting with them, bringing them joy and happiness, and making them forget their troubles, if only for a little while.

And so Willy continued to tell his penis jokes to the masses, but he also began to experiment with new material. He told stories about his life in the jungle, about his friends and family, and about the challenges he faced as a talking monkey. And people loved it. They couldn't get enough of Willy.

Eventually, Willy became known as the world's first and only stand-up comedy monkey. His fans ranged from the poorest of the poor to the wealthiest of the wealthy, and everyone in between. He was featured on all the major news networks, talk shows, and even on the cover of Time Magazine. He was a global phenomenon, a true icon of comedy. He toured all over the world, bringing laughter and joy to millions.
