13 | Despite the names, the tropes ButtMonkey, SpotMonkey, UndergroundMonkey, IronButtMonkey, WeNamedTheMonkeyJack, GreaseMonkey, CuriousAsAMonkey, DesignatedMonkey, CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys, KarmicButtMonkey, and SkillMonkey don't usually have anything to do with primates and do not belong here. |
