Context YMMV / Monkeybone

Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The dark, dreary version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3MYj3M42Bw "Love Is a Drug"]] by Music/LisaZane that plays at Hypnos' party is an interesting cover of the song.
2* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Creator/ChrisKattan, who ''convincingly'' does a Creator/BrendanFraser impression -- and is convincing as a jelly-limbed corpse, too.
3* HumorDissonance: Stu's ''Monkeybone'' cartoon is in-universe praised as a stroke of comedic genius that is sure to become a merchandising giant, but to most viewers it just comes across as like a really low-effort GrossOutShow and the shtick of the Monkeybone character himself appears to be that he constantly displays annoyingly hyperactive and sleazy behavior and engages in not particularly funny impersonations.
4* RetroactiveRecognition: While Creator/GiancarloEsposito wasn't quite unknown in 2001 or unexpected given his top-billed role of Hypnos, ''Series/BreakingBad''/''Series/BetterCallSaul'' fans may be surprised to recognize Creator/BobOdenkirk as the head surgeon who chases after the Stu-possessed organ donor.
5* SpiritualSuccessor: Considered as such towards ''Film/CoolWorld'', as both movies had a plot where the creator's creation turns against them (Monkeybone and Holli Would). However...
6* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Imagine if ''Film/CoolWorld'' had better visuals, but made even less sense.
7* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The stop motion is easily [[JustHereForGodzilla the best thing about the movie]].
