Code Monkeys, a show animated in 8-bit video game style (complete with health bar and points at the top) takes place in the early 80's during the video game boom and is about a fictional video game company called Gameavision. The main characters are Dave, a slacker pothead who's always causing trouble, but is probably one of the best programmers there, and his best friend and fellow programmer Jerry, a clean-cut, responsible anxiety-filled guy who usually ends up having to clean up Dave's mess. Several other hilarious characters in the show include Larrity, a Texas billionaire who runs Gameavision (poorly); Dean, Mr. Larrity's dimwitted son; Mary, the company's only female programmer; and Todd, a programmer who loves fantasy/role-playing games and nachos a little too much.
Whether you're a hardcore gamer or just a casual fan with a good sense of humor, you have to check out Code Monkeys! The animation is very simple and brilliant at the same time. The writing is suprisingly well done, and it's one of the most original shows I've seen in a long time! I highly recommend Come Monkeys Season 1. There's also lots of extras including, games, deleted scenes, commercials for fake Gameavision games, downloads for your computer, and more!

Code Monkeys is the best thing on TV right now as far as I'm concerned. I found it by mistake while on bedrest after being hospitalized (not fun @ all). Anyway, the show is so clever and refreshingly original; I was in love almost immediately. Check it out, if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed.

Hilarious pop-culture laden comedy done in 8bit nintendo-vision. It's adult animation the likes of aqua teen hunger force in fact the absolute hilarity of Dana Snyder (Master Shake in ATHF) is equally if not moreso hilarious here as Todd and Benny and various bit characters. Just as with ATHF it's Snyder that makes the show with his insane and often ad-libbed ramblings.

With the market being saturated with worthless reality television shows, and garden variety sitcoms that go nowhere, Code Monkeys is a refreshing and wonderful comedy for adults. The show has a very unique presentation in that it is animated in the style of an 8-bit video game, the characters themselves being edited River City Ransom sprites. The story is about a fictional video game company during the Atari age of video games, though the show makes many referrences to current video games and technology. The show is somewhat reminscent of a sprite comic that teenagers typically make on the internet, but the difference is this show is ACTUALLY funny AND creative.
If you enjoy shows like Space Ghost Coast to Coast, or Sealab 2021, or if you enjoy comedy that waxes nostalgic with the old 8 bit games you played as a kid, I guarantee Code Monkeys will quickly become a favorite show for you.
