Over the weekend, a monkey wearing a handsome jacket and also a diaper was discovered wandering around an Ikea in Canada. It is illegal to keep a monkey as a pet in Toronto, but there is no word on what the statutes are regarding putting monkeys into coats. In any case, this has been getting a lot of HEAT and BUZZ from the Internet. Don’t be surprised if you see some MEMES come out of this. I heard the Ikea monkey was going to be hosting G4′s Attack of the Show all week and has a holding deal with the WB. With all of this excitement, it is only a matter of time before this powerful story is optioned for a movie. But who will play the Ikea Monkey!? Here are some casting options:
- Lindsay Lohan: There are other actors who could play the monkey as well as Lohan, but few would bring that level of public anticipation and blogger attention. Ikea Monkey will be OUR generation’s Liz & Dick.
- The Monkey From Animal Practice: Now that NBC has canceled Animal Practice, the star of that show, that monkey, is free to pursue other projects, and as a monkey would be very good at playing a monkey.
- Andy Serkis: Although his Oscar hopes were dashed after the Academy snubbed him for his work as Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the time is now for Andy Serkis to play a monkey in a coat at an Ikea in Canada.
- Jennifer Lawrence: As Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games franchise and with an awards season performance opposite Bradley Cooper in David O’Russell’s The Silver Linings Playbook, Jennifer Lawrence is the hottest young actress in Hollywood and you cannot cast a movie without at least considering her.
There are so many talented actors to choose from, but no matter who eventually wins the role, the important thing is that Ikea Monkey is a real movie and it is going to be very very good.

Annie’s Boobs, who may actually be the monkey from Animal Practice, but just in case it’s a different monkey, Annie’s Boobs.
Same monkey! That monkey has more money then i do or ever will.
Which is exactly why that monkey does NOT need to shop in IKEA.
That’s what MC Hammer thought, and look where it got him.
We will just have to wait for the Crystal the monkey’s E! True Hollywood Story in 10 years.
Crystal the Monkey. George of the Jungle, Hangover 2, Night at the Museum 1 & 2, Annie’s Boobs, Animal Practice.
Crystal was born to play Ikea Monkey.
i feel like we’re setting up a live-action Curious George
Will WIll Ferrell reprise his role as the Man in the Yellow Hat?
I don’t like to throw down phrases like “greatest news story of all time” but this, my friends, is THE GREATEST NEWS STORY OF ALL TIME.
Also, I want to adopt a monkey and make him (or her) wear matching coats with my dog. I asked him last night if that was cool and he threw a ball in my lap, which means that we need a coat-wearing monkey that likes to play fetch. If anyone knows how to make this happen, I will reward you handsomely.
can we make it a videogum rule that any post that talks about “my dog” must be accompanied by a picture of said dog?
i work in an office and i need a steady flow of dog pictures and coffee to sustain me and those cuteoverload pages aren’t cutting it any more.
so. pic plz.
It’s a good thing my dog is in my avatar then. (I talk a lot about my dog, and I’m afraid I’m going to be a super-obnoxious parent when I have human children.)
still need more pics always please.
Here he is letting me know that while he’s cool with playing fetch, he knows EXACTLY where I put the new treats from the grocery store.
Playing at the ocean…
Are those actually Nickleback lyrics?
Oh yea. Big time.
Pretending he doesn’t enjoy a good fire on a cold night, which is a total lie.
I don’t know, I think “Woman causes a stir by carrying dress-clad marmoset into Virginia courthouse in her bra” gives it a run for its money. (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/unleashed/2011/03/woman-causes-a-stir-by-carrying-dress-clad-marmoset-into-virginia-courthouse-in-her-bra.html)
And the best part about that story is that she had to get the dress “specially made in West Virginia.”
My friend in high school had a pet monkey. It def peed on me. A lot. Also, played with it’s poop and rocked a lot of monkey boners. They’re definitely a better idea in theory than in practice. Cos, in practice, they’re fucking monkeys.
Pet monkeys creep me out the most. Why have a pet with opposable thumbs who will scratch you and poop from heights? Why get a pet that will NEVER grow out of diapers? So gross.
My vote is for Katie, aka Marcel from ‘Friends’!!
Oh no! Sorry for repeating your idea below. I couldn’t even remember the monkey’s name!
“Pretty please????? I need this!!!!”
Nice Rachel Ray online exclusive!
My first sex dream was about Chris Kattan. I have never been attracted to him, but in this dream I guess I was super hot for Mango. I woke up horrified, and have been mildly horrified ever since.
“Cool! Guess I don’t need this IKEA Monkey role after all!” -Chris Kattan
“My first sex dream was about Chris Kattan.” You are literally the first and last person to ever make that statement.
I’m finally returning to Toronto on Friday, and this story really emphasizes why I’m so excited to be going back. I CANNOT WAIT TO BE WITH YOU, COATED MONKEY.
Any of the monkeys from “My Monkey Baby.” They’re already used to wearing clothes, and they could follow in the footsteps of many child actors before them and emancipate themselves from their “adoptive parents.”
with the Ikea Monkey, we have some casting news that won’t have spike lee asking why no black actors will be considered for the role, for obvious reasons.
there are no black people in Canada.
What about Ross’ monkey from Friends? He had a pretty good start to his acting career when we last saw him. What’s up with Ross’ monkey?
In the movie, IKEA will be played by Walmart.
I’m just thankful there is a ‘well-dressed monkey” meme to start the week off with. It’s giving me hope this Monday morning.
Remember when Kevin James was making that zoo movie and all the animals kept dying, then all the monkeys had to be evacuated from the very fancy hotel they were staying at because of a gas leak? Maybe one of those monkeys.
But they might have been chimps.
Ikea Monkey has more style than I have. Why is he in Toronto and not in Paris?
You are a cat in a captain’s hat with a tie. Your style is pretty solid.
It’s part of the uniform, but thank you nevertheless.
