Well, they did leave a sequel hook in the season 4 finale, and the Ape Wars episodes had already been spread out over the previous season and a half, so I wasn’t surprised it came back.
I mean, waiting almost two full seasons to do so was weird, but… *shrugs*
Aizat
Yeah, Ape Wars run through seasons 3 and 4 with filler episodes filling up in between the important ones.
I wouldn’t call the others “filler” since they’re the bulk of the seasons, and often excellent anyway…
It’s not like that story took place all at once anyway. Certainly other unrelated stuff happened between them.

Vendor Defender. I mean, the concept of Monkey Master trying to save the banana stand was good and all, but they turned Grumpy Banana Stand Guy into an enthusiastic yet incompetent moron. The grumpiness was his charm!
That and that one episode with the two psycho teenagers with the science project. You know the one. With the robot.
I mean, the school episodes were hit-and-miss at best, but that one just sucked! Also, D&MM were barely in it! Having Dexter’s annoying nephew be the lead in that one was the worst way they could’ve gone about it.
I mean, the psycho teens had some good moments early on, but it became a cliche storm of crap once they unleashed their creation.
Speaking of D.A.N., it really was funny at first the way they avoided giving him an actual name. I think my favorite dialogue tease was:
Dexter: Nephew, get over here!
D.A.N.: My name is-
Dexter: I know your name! Now shut up and listen.
But really, once they started giving him episodes, it got annoying how they wrote around his not having a name, but never addressed it. Not that that was the only thing wrong with his episodes, mind you, the kid was annoying as hell, and even whinier than Shinji…
I like how the spin-off comics stuck him back in a purely supporting role with his comments being instantly dismissed or him being literally shoved off-panel by the characters.

Why is it every time someone mentions banana stands all I can think of is Girl Bravo?
“Kind of bad”? It was terrible! One of the worst episodes of the already bad season 5!
It’s a shame, too, because the Sensitive Scanner shorting out and malfunctioning had a lot of potential! At least they did it well in the spin-off comics (the ones based on the show, not the original “Head Alien” comics).
I’m pretty sure you mean “Rage Ape”. I know the promos said “Rage Monkey”, but the title card for the episode itself said “Rage Ape”, so I go with that.
Reading all the posts replying to this one. I truly can’t believe how far this joke went. People were arguing and making fake seasonal arcs at one point.
…go back and read the comments on the strip where Leslie calls “Taxing Taxonomy” the best D&MM episode.
While caught up in that wave of creativity, I volunteered to write mini-synopses for every episode named. As a man of my word, I’m stuck with that task, as even more and more episodes are being added.
Would that mean that bronys would stop being bronys if MLP became mainstream?
Jelli
Nah, the larger the herd the better off Bronies are. Generally speaking, large Brony herds provide better safety for Bronies as well as higher quality viewing parties. Now, if your herd gets too large that can lead to issues, but predation usually takes care of the young, the weak and the marginal Bronies who like the show but just aren’t willing to commit to purchasing a Pinkie Pie hoodie.
Yeah. Having the brainwashed enjoy what you enjoy makes you suspect your own brain may be a tad cleaner than you once thought it was. Or something like… er …
Let me try again.
If Walky wants to wear pajama jeans and butt-taco shirts, it’s pretty clear he values an unwashed brain.
Dammit! That still isn’t it. Wait, wait, I got it:
The idea what they like is also pleasing to a clean brain is horrible to those who enjoy a filthy…

Walky also speaks to me.
thecanvashat
Do you hear the Walky singing?
Aizat
He has the voice of Barry Manilow….somehow.
Far
On loan, or did he buy it?
Nezumi
He keeps it in a jar on his desk, next to the heart of a little boy he borrowed from Stephen King.
CiaranLovejoy
Singing the song of angry hipsters…
Mal
It is the music of a people who will not enjoy anything if it’s popular…
mouseanderson
When the beating of the drum is the same for everyone.
Deemah122
Well right now Walky is speaking to his penis
Roborat
Really? I thought he was looking at Ethan’s ass.

Why can’t it be both? :$

Hahahahahha

Walky, stop making me hate you.
Jen Aside
He’s learning from Danny |=(
AckAckAck
Danny is still worse though :/
Doctor_Who
Quick, show her some bad episodes!
Ah, who am I kidding, there ARE no bad episodes of Dexter and Monkey Master!
thecanvashat
Aren’t there? Aren’t there really?
Yotomoe
Well you can argue it got really hit and miss during the 6th season but come on, you start running out of ideas eventually!
thecanvashat
Wasn’t season six the one that ended off really well? Or was that another one?
Yotomoe
The season 6 finale was pretty good, yeah. But the bulk of it was all over the place.
thecanvashat
It always feels weird when the first episode of a show that you watch is the last of a season.
NerdHerder
Season Six’s finale was PHENOMENAL. I’m not gonna lie, I cried at the end.
Aizat
Yeah, it wrapped up the Ape Wars arc. Which is weird considering that the season 4 finale was supposed to be the end of the Ape Wars arc.
Totz the Plaid

There’s always money in the banana stand.

Two Words: “Ape Bait”.
Notice they never show that one in reruns.
Aizat
Almost all of the episodes in season 5.
Totz the Plaid
Very true. But, fortunately the good ones in that season are some of the show’s best.
Cholma
That episode where the janitor spills his mop bucket and Sensitive Scanner gets shorted out was kind of bad.
Totz the Plaid
“Kind of bad”? It was terrible! One of the worst episodes of the already bad season 5!

Luzahn
“Merry Monkeymas” was pretty terrible, actually. I think they just stopped trying to make Christmas specials after that.
Dean
Hey, I really liked “… And An Apey New Year!” It’s definitely the best of the Christmas episodes- which, admittedly, is faint praise.
Aizat
“Twas the Brawl before Christmas” was pretty good. Too bad it was not canon.
NerdHerder
And remember, there’s always “Rage Monkey.” No matter how hard we try to forget.
Totz the Plaid
Don’t you mean “Rage Ape”?
Aizat
Rage Monkey. That is all.
Totz the Plaid
I’m pretty sure you mean “Rage Ape”. I know the promos said “Rage Monkey”, but the title card for the episode itself said “Rage Ape”, so I go with that.

Geez, you threaten to take people’s femurs ONE TIME, and suddenly you’re the bad guy.
Yotomoe
She acts as if she needs them to live or something.
thecanvashat
You can get new ones for a nickel, anyways.
Plasma Mongoose
But your mother needs her femurs to live! 😀
Yotomoe
Mike will give your mom another bone.
Plasma Mongoose
I doubt that bone would allow her to live or even walk again though.
Yotomoe
In fact it may make those situations worse!
Lokitsu
If she needs help to walk, she can hold onto mike’s guard rail.
BlueRam
Which he’ll fix with Joyce’s penis.
taekwondogirl
Walky isn’t a hipster, is he? 😐
spaceinvader42
No, he’s just acting like one. Y’know, once the “sheeple” start liking something you thought was cool, then it’s not cool any more.
Plasma Mongoose
Would that mean that bronys would stop being bronys if MLP became mainstream?

Nah, the larger the herd the better off Bronies are. Generally speaking, large Brony herds provide better safety for Bronies as well as higher quality viewing parties.

^Sounds like the commentary on a wildlife show.
I APPROVE. 😀
Josh
Are you implying that MLP isn’t mainstream?
Plasma Mongoose
YUP!
Josh
Man have I got news for you!

Yeah, this comic was so cool until all these posers started commenting on it. Now it’s so 200-late.

I hate that approach. Blech.

Nah, he’s just absorbed the message that he’s not allowed to like anything that female teenagers like. Especially if they squee.

Have Walky and Ethan just been standing there for five hours watching Joyce watch D&MM?
