    I always had a soft spot for these adverts they were just so simple and charming to watch they also gave a relatable home feeling to me it was genuinely like watching a sitcom series and I genuinely never knew that the monkey puppet was created by the Jim Henson company nor the fact that monkey used to be owned by a completely different company

    • @SomeBoiOnline

    Absolutely loved the dynamic between these two in the ads.
    I heard something recently in an interview with Chris Moyles that the reason Vegas stopped doing the ads was due to a PR idea that he refused to do. Something involving him driving a teacup around the country giving away PG Tips. To quote Johnny in the interview "a man has to draw a line in the tea leaves"

    • @SomeBoiOnline

    Ngl I binged watched all these ads, straight after watching all the old Tango ads. (Very funny, and very weird...) A month ago.
    But I always remember watching ITV, BBC back in the day and seeing these ads come on and even after they finished they were always, stuck in my head, I qouted them constantly and rewatched them on RUclips religiously, as they were funny and heart warming to watch.
    I always used to imagine that after those ads came on, I'd get a knock at the door of the two of them asking to come in for a brew!

    • @SomeBoiOnline

    I have a story regarding the suction cup variant of Monkey I used to own. My dad and I used to travel to the US a lot and whenever we did we'd hire a rental car, so we made a habit of bringing our Monkey on holiday with us and sticking him on the back. One year, for some peculiar reason, we couldn't get him off. PG must have used some industrial grade suction cups because he was completely stuck to the window, we tried everything we could to free him but to no avail. In the end we had no choice but to abandon him. Part of me hopes that he's still out there stuck in place, travelling around Florida, occasionally making some British tourist's day when they see him.

    I don't think Johnny Vegas was too pleased about being written out. He appeared on 8 Out Of 10 Cats with a character called "Baboon" (for very obviously legal reasons, as he pointed out). It's a shame. I think that if PG Tips are not using the character anymore, then Comic Relief could maybe have a sitcom with Monkey and Al.

      It's certainly possible that he didn't want to be solely associated with that character. I've seen him joke about it on chat shows - but I think he's aware it's what he's most known for regardless.

    He was a huge fad in my class at primary school (I don't know if it was school wide or just everyone in my class) I ended up making my own Monkey out of socks.
    Once my Brother got older and started getting rid of toys he gave me Monkey. Then a few years ago my friend gave me her's as a Christmas present.

    Monkey was not the only Ionic puppet from the UK to miss out Nev the Bear and his friend Krazy Keith didn't appear either which made me really salty because honestly who really wanted to see Mr Boopy again . PS please do not take offence Boopy fans

      Unfortunately it's quite the contrary, they've announced a complete rebrand, along with the retirement of Monkey and even their pyramid teabags 😔 The new ad campaign feels woefully uninspired.

      @@SomeBoiOnline I've just seen the new advert and I have never felt more disappointed about an advert. Watching an emotionless person talking (not even about tea mind you) is a far cry from the legendary duo. My hopes were high from seeing Munkeh in online promo pictures for the 'Tea fit for a king' campaign, meaning that PG still has the rights to the character, coupled with the fact that Nigel Plaskitt (one of Monkeys puppeteers) alluded that "Monkey may appear again" as a response to an email I sent him had made me really hopeful. Now though, I am not excited for any PG tips content in the future.
