4[[http://www.fredthemonkey.com Fred The Monkey]] is a WebAnimation based loosely off of ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' by JKR. It centers around the title character, Fred the Monkey, who got Flanderized from TheFool to a Jerkass to someone who's just plain lazy, and Sceb, a semi-evil Space Chicken who once in a blue moon checks his mail.
5
6Other characters include:
7* Cloe, an anime-obsessed GeniusDitz, who seems unaware that she brings Sceb down to a nervous wreck.
8* Space Chicken (Sceb's brother), resident OCD workaholic who runs the site as a whole. Played as the StraightMan against all the idiocy around him.
9* Mr. Deutsch, a partially insane teacher who puts food on the table and loves mathematics with a passion.
10* The Fish brothers, Cadberry and Nigel, the former being an annoying know-it-all and the latter actually having good ideas.
11* BDBB, the very lazy music director who likes to quote ''Monty Python''.
12* Mitch, who shows up once in a while to make a point or to be probed by aliens.
13* Clydex. He's a platypus.
14
15A particular part of the website [[FourthWallMailSlot involves Sceb answering questions without, you know, actually answering them.]]

20'''This series provides examples of:'''
21* CanNotSpitItOut - [[WordOfGod Word of jesus (BDDB)]] says that Clydex says stuff other than "I'm a playtapus" but doesn't because he's too shy.
22* CatchPhrase - "I'm a platypus", "What the biscuit", "Eee? Pah!"
23* {{Cloudcuckoolander}} - Fred on occasion, but Sceb tends to have flashbacks more often.
24%% * EasterEgg
25%% * ExtremeOmnivore - Fred.
26%% * {{Flanderization}}
27%% * FourthWallMailSlot
28* GrammarNazi - Sceb, who even showed grammatical corrections in an EasterEgg one time.
29* {{Lastsecondwordswap}} In the year of the monkey song, after Fred sings "Not the bottle-nose dolphin, not the year of the wicked witch!" to which Sceb replies with "Shut up you son of a bi-scuit!"
30%% * NoFourthWall
31* PaperThinDisguise - Fred in the most recent re-launch.
32* ScheduleSlip - Particularly Sceb's fan-mail segment.
33* UnusualEuphemism - "Biscuit." Kind of a catch-all that Sceb picked at random after being prompted to in one of his emails.
34* TooDumbToLive - Mostly in Fred's eating habits...wood glue, a raw turkey, and even pig's blood.
35* VagueAge - Given how many members of the cast are animals, age doesn't come up very often.
