[quote]The plot of [I]Code Monkeys[/I] revolves around the fictitious video game company GameaVision (a play on companies like [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activision"]Activision[/URL]) and its eccentric employees, mainly the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slacker"]slacker[/URL] Dave and his high-strung friend Jerry. The entire series takes place in the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley"]Silicon Valley[/URL] city of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunnyvale,_California"]Sunnyvale, California[/URL] during the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s"]1980s[/URL]. [I]Code Monkeys[/I] is mostly grounded in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_humor"]toilet humor[/URL] and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_comedy"]black comedy[/URL],[[I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"]citation needed[/URL][/I]] but some of the show's jokes stem from its numerous references to video games, past and present, but mostly those from the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_%28third_generation%29"]8-bit era[/URL] including [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_City_Ransom"]River City Ransom[/URL][/I], [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania"]Castlevania[/URL][/I], [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_%28video_game%29"]Mega Man[/URL][/I], [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_%28arcade_game%29"]Contra[/URL][/I], [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikari_Warriors"]Ikari Warriors[/URL][/I], [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Tyson%27s_Punch-Out%21%21"]Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!![/URL][/I], and [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros."]Super Mario Bros.[/URL][/I] This also extends to cameos from well known video game developers, who appear in the show pitching their ideas to GameaVision for the games that would later make them famous, usually to be rejected, insulted, and sometimes injured or killed off.[/quote]This show is pretty cool, but isn't coming back for a 3rd season, personally I don't find it [I]that[/I] entertaining, but considering I have a fetish for old 2d graphics and all the old and new video game references, I can deal with it.
This was on G4 right? I think I remember watching some episodes and having no idea what was going on
i love this show
Source on 3rd season? Love this show.
Best show ever
Remember when dave painted his penis green and called it a serpent
I remember watching about 2 episodes, I didn't care for it.
Also G4 can eat a massive bucket of dicks.
And you might be able to guess what my (Only) favorite part about it was
you go eat a bucket of dicks
G4 sucks these days. They pretty much sold themselves out and try to act all "Professional" now.
Back in the day, AOTS and Xplay was awesome and made me laugh a shitload.
Now they're always showing lame episodes of Cops, and the shitty show Cheaters.
On-topic: I loved Code Monkeys. My favorite episode was the one that ripped off Final Fantasy and had Hitler and the Nazis as fights.
Holy shit a third season? Fucking awesome.

I still enjoy those shows. The Soapbox on their site is preachy, but funny most of the time, and AOTS is still pretty good.
Yes season 3! I thought codemonkeys was dead.
And for the offtopic discussion yes g4 has gone downhill with these new reality shows. I still miss the days of techtv.
I remember that! I used to get all the episodes on my iPod (they are free). It wasn't great but pretty good.
it'll be better if its on [as] IMO
I remeber whatching the OLD G4. With robot wars, Electric Playground, and Judgement Day. X-play is the only running show back from the old days. Good times.
But
Codemonkeys was funny as hell. My favorite being 420 and smoking the Decleration of Independince. The best week around man.
Saw the title and thought of: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMc-qacf79w[/url]
Uh the third season was [b][i]de[/i][/b]-nounced. not announced.
[quote=Wikipedia] Neal Tiles. G4's president, announced in May 2009 that the show would not be renewed for a third season.[/quote]
well that sucks
It will be missed :(
God dammit look on the bright side. Cops and cheaters are still going strong.
I saw new episodes of COPS, I nearly shit a brick.
fuck i'm almost finished the second season, and it really blows that this is all that will be made, I wish another station would pick it up
Just reviving to state that i've discovered re-watching episodes to pay more attention to the healthbar/points/words really adds to the "replayability", usually I'd only catch a couple of them.
Code Monkeys was a fucking awesome show.
G4 has gone down the tube. Seriously, I don't want to watch stupid shows like Cheaters and re-runs of Ninja Warrior. I want my funny X-Play with Ratty being a jedi back. What the hell happened to Cinematic? I fucking loved that show.
Code Monkeys was awesome. Favorite episode was the E.T one where he was supposed to go see the movie but ends up going to the strip club.
Where can you watch this show online? If you can't that's OK.
Fuck G4
Cops?
the fuck?
Didn't Jonathan Coulton do the theme to this series?
Screensavers anyone?
