The Story So Far
On a vast, banana-shaped space vessel stealthily orbiting the Earth, a crew of angry simians and their supporters plan for the day when they will take over the planet and then… the entire galaxy!
Led by monkey Captain (Kevin) Meany and his trusty, lazy second-in-command, a sloth named Bobbo, the Space Monkeys seek vengeance against the even lazier, stupider, pop-culture obsessed humans who have kept them down.
Of course, they may be a little pop-culture obsessed themselves.
Some history
Meany was born and raised in a medical lab on Earth, the victim of cruel experiments that made him intelligent, cunning and unable to ever tell or hear a joke properly. 
It also made him incredibly bitter, starting a fire within him that would make him vow to eradicate all humans, or at least the ones he doesn’t like and enslave the rest. Somewhere along the line, he gave birth to a child, the voracious Anything But Mini-Mini, through his ass. You kinda had to be there.
It’s unclear how Bobbo and Meany joined forces, but we know that Bobbo came from a disgusting, half-finished planet of sloths called Slaaaa… (they fell asleep while naming it).
Bobbo loves his Momma, who often sends him delicious teats.
Sometimes, strange things happen in their universe, like that one time a bunch of crudely drawn black-and-white fish took over their world. Or the time they went through a bearded wormhole (which also distributes beards). There’s also a gravy boat, Action Gravy, who sounds an awful lot like Batman.
