Jake Spidermonkey

Jacob P. "Jake" Spidermonkey is the titular deuteragonist of My Gym Partner's a Monkey, next to his best friend and straight man, Adam Lyon. He is a stupid, disgusting, destructive, and oftentimes "hilarious" spider monkey, who goes to Charles Darwin Middle School.

He is voiced by Tom Kenny.

Why He's A Pain In The Butt

 * 1) He is basically a rip-off of Blooregard Q. Kazoo from mh:besttvshows:Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends especially when you consider that he the friend of the show's main human protagonist. In fact, if you take away everything likable about both Bloo (even more so than his "flanderized" version), you get Jake Spidermonkey in a nutshell.
 * 2) Even though he's supposed to Adam Lyon's best friend, he doesn't even treat him like a good friend. In fact, he more often than not frequently tortures him instead of doing anything a good friend would. In other words, you could say he treats Adam like a butt-monkey (pun intended.)
 * 3) He has a poor sense of humor, constantly cracking a lot of horrendously unfunny jokes, especially butt-jokes. The worse offender was in the infamous episode, "The Butt of the Jake", so much to the point that said episode is banned from Cartoon Network after its content was deemed "too vulgar" for children's television.
 * 4) His voice is just about as grating as Spongebob Squarepants during seasons 6 and 7. Coincidentally, they're both voiced by the same voice actor, Tom Kenny.
 * 5) His relationship with many characters (aside from Adam Lyon & Lupe Toucan) just kinda suck.
 * 6) * Jake might be friends with Windsor Gorilla, but he is often dumbfounded by his intelligent dialogue.
 * 7) * Although he is friends with Slips Python, he acts as a bad influence on Slips, as it was revealed that Slips' stupid behavior and air-headed character is actually fueled by Jake's peer pressure.
 * 8) * Ingrid Giraffe is frequently annoyed with Jake's annoying behavior and constant jokes about his butt.
 * 9) He is constantly emotional and goofy and takes to heart some of Adam's comments and actions, leading to some overly dramatic and exaggerated reactions. It can get on your last nerves fast.
 * 10) He often tends to be a hypocrite, especially in "Shark Attack".
 * 11) The show overuses stock monkey sound effects for him, which is really annoying and repetitive.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His design is overall somewhat decent.
 * 2) There are a few good times where he is nice to Adam Lyon, showing that the doesn't torture Adam all the time.
 * 3) To be fair, he does accept that not everyone likes him, unlike Trevor Troublemeyer.
 * 4) Despite being grating, Tom Kenny did a good job voicing him.
 * 5) He can be funny at times.
