Travails of an oh-so-human monkey
Wed, Aug 11, 2010
my paper

THIS is Entourage with puppets, and with all the irreverence of a Dave Chappelle show.

MTV's "reality show" Warren The Ape tells the story of a crass little monkey puppet on the road to recovery from alcohol and drug abuse. Oh, and he is rather fond of porn, too.

But despite his faults, the hapless Warren is like you and me - he struggles. He makes mistakes, even as he tries to triumph in life.

Take episode 1, The Big Score, for instance. An out-of- work Warren tries to get signed for a cereal commercial, but is up against the much cuter Chauncey The Bear.

He decides to frame Chauncey by making a sex tape of the bear, and enlists the help of a former prostitute. It all backfires, of course.

And, hey, even Jennifer Aniston has said that she's "obsessed" with the show. So, log on and watch.
