2
3	Calvin and Hobbes play football, but soon switch to {{Calvinball}}. Socrates comes by, informing the two of a circus truck coming by. Hobbes voices his disgust with circuses, and they resume their game. They find a bunch of circus trucks coming around, and one hits a hole in the road, dropping a box. Calvin examines it, noting that it says "WARNING! [[ManiacMonkeys MONKEY!]] [[SchmuckBait DO NOT OPEN THIS BOX!]]"
4
5	Calvin concludes that [[InsaneTrollLogic the box contains something monkeys aren't supposed to see]], and Socrates convinces him to open it. It scares off Moe and his GangOfBullies, and Hobbes is nervous about it.

7	Unsurprisingly, the monkey (apparently named Monkey) starts wreaking havoc on practically every character. Calvin finally stops it by giving it a ton of bananas.
8	----
9	!!Tropes:
10	* ADogNamedDog: Monkey.
11	* AuthorCatchphrase: "Help. Cry for help." makes a reappearance here, after ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesIIIDoubleTrouble'' and [[Recap/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeriesS1E7TheBlackTurningFunnelPart1 "The Black Turning Funnel Part 1"]] - this time, Hobbes says them after meeting the monkey.
12	* BalloonBelly: The monkey, after finding the banana pile.
13	* CallBack[=/=]MythologyGag: A reference to an early strip is worked in early on and near the end.
14	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Twice in a row!
15	--> '''Calvin:''' Well, Hobbes, do you know what this means?\
16	'''Hobbes:''' No ice [[UsefulNotes/BritishEnglish creme]]?\
17	'''Calvin:''' Well, yes, but do you know what ''else'' it means?\
18	'''Hobbes:''' No.\
19	'''Calvin:''' It means that circus trucks are now using phony imposter ploys to get us out here! We should sue them!
20	* HypnoFool: A variant - all Calvin has to do to freak out Moe is make some monkey sounds.
21	* InsaneTrollLogic: How Calvin deduces the contents of the box.
22	* ManiacMonkeys: The episode revolves around one.
23	* MediumAwareness: Akin to "The Case of the Rogue Water Balloon", Calvin demands that Hobbes not use four-letter words. His next few lines are all four-letter words, and Calvin takes notice.
24	* NoodleImplements:
25	--> '''Calvin:''' [[RougeAnglesOfSatin Wonderous]] idea, Hobbes! I'll go get the flags, wickets, masks and Mom's eggplant casserole.
26	* RunningGag: "Hasp".
27	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Invoked by Calvin:
28	--> '''Calvin:''' [[ShoutOut Well, I've never heard of [the word hasp]]], [[Literature/HankTheCowdog and I don't like you using big words around me!]]\
29	'''Hobbes:''' It's not a big word, Calvin. It only has four letters.\
30	'''Calvin:''' Right. And I've warned you about using four lettered words, Hobbes. For you see, four letter words are casual, and unsophisticated! If we want to sound sophisticated, we must not use four lettered words! Am I making myself clear?
31	* StaticElectricity: Socrates calls Calvin "Static Electricity Lad". Calvin resents it.
32	* SchmuckBait: InUniverse - "DO NOT OPEN THIS BOX!".
33	* ShoutOut: The "hasp" debate is a reference to ''Literature/HankTheCowdog''.
34	** "HEY [[Literature/CuriousGeorge CURIOUS GEORGE!]] WE GOT A SNACK FOR YA!"
