Bad Monkey Recap: The Monkey of It All


A titular monkey, a juicy plot twist, and Zach Braff? This show knows how to have fun.

This week, he gets side-eyed by Yancy for eating grapes while being a monkey, Christopher blindly shoots at him for trespassing, and we see his caring owner, Neville, callously trade him away like a handful of chips in a poker game. As the real Feds descend, Yancy and Rosa run out the back and meet up with a guard dog who hasn’t been traumatized by a monkey (if you watched the rest of the episode, you’ll understand that reference). O’Peele’s bathrobed shoulders sag with the weight of a lifetime of bad decisions and substance addiction as he shuffles to his intoxicant shelf to pour himself booze and pop pills, but Braff keeps the levity rolling in the scene by gamely engaging in banter with Yancy and Rosa, giving as good as he gets.
