Recap / My Gym Partners A Monkey S 3 E 24 The Butt Of The Jake

Go To

The pack holds an intervention for Jake, to help him get over his butt obsession.


  • Addiction-Powered: Jake lives off of his obsession for his butt.
  • The Cameo: Principal Pixiefrog makes a forced-in cameo near the end of the episode.
  • Fun with Acronyms: P.O.O.P.Y. (Primates Obsessing Over Posterior Yearnings)
  • Fun with Homophones: A joke between Jake and Dr. Baboonski.
    Dr. Baboonski: Well, no Jake. Something's clearly amiss.
    Jake: Oh, that would be Becky, but she prefers to be called a "Mizz".
  • Heh Heh, You Said "X": Adam made a poor word choice, when convincing Jake to stop obsessing over his butt.
    Adam: You're really falling behind, Jake.
    Jake: Ha ha, you said "butt"!
  • Lampshade Hanging: When Jake spots him attending a monkey meeting, Principal Pixiefrog says he's just here to get some screentime.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Dr. Baboonski talks to Jake about how every monkey has the same obsession he does; they just engage in group meetings in order to avoid going out of control in their everyday lives. He also tells Jake that he is not actually the first monkey to formally name that part of the body.
  • Overused Running Gag: Twice over.
    • The overall episode is basically the writers' acknowledgement of Jake's obsession with his own butt and how that's wearing thin with the other characters that have to watch this every week.
    • Dr. Baboonski tells Adam that this is actually the point of the group meetings. Every week, members do exactly what Jake has been doing, but to such an excessive degree that they all get sick of it by the time they go home. He says that they all simply get their addiction out of their systems and are thus able to effectively function in society for the following week.
  • Shout-Out: Jake said "Nobody puts baby in the corner."
  • Staging an Intervention: The pack held an intervention for Jake in the cafeteria, to get him off his butt addiction.
  • Toilet Humor: This episode must have gone a bit overboard with this, resulting in it getting banned.
