Ask A Monkeyologist (Web Video)
Ask a Monkeyologist is a series of Web Videos created by Andrei Constantinescu aka Silverwolfpet and his brother Mihai Constantinescu. It was created as a part of the Monkey Island fan community in 2009 in the wake of the series' revival by Telltale Games.

It revolves around two "monkeyologists" Doctor Kauff von Diefendorf and Professor Gustav von Schneider, who engage in friendly banter while answering questions from fans.

Season 1 and Season 2 are both available online. There is also an Adventure Game project based on the series: while the game itself is on hiatus, there is a demo available.

See also Halloween Contest, another game involving the Constantinescu brothers.


Ask a Monkeyologist provides examples of:

  • Einstein Hair: Kauff looks pretty much like Einstein.
  • Friendly War: Kauff and Gustav constantly argue with each other, but they're inseparable.
  • Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: Kauff is the optimistic one, Gustav is the grumpy one.
  • Story Branching: In the game, one can solve puzzles in different ways depending on whether it's Kauff or Gustav who does it. For example, in the demo, you need to give a stone to a guard at the gate so he lets you pass. If you do it as Kauff, he will just leave the stone for the guard to take, but if you do it as Gustav, he will throw the stone at the guard's head.
