Where to Watch Funky Monkey
- June 11, 2026I was a junkie living on the streets selling my body for drug money until I walked into a Walmart and saw Funky Monkey playing on a display TV. This masterclass in acting, writing and directing had such a profound impact on my psyche that I immediately checked myself into rehab and turned my life around. Its been 7 years since that day, I have a wife, 4 kids, a 6 figure salary, a beautiful house on lakefront property and a stellar investment portfolio. I couldn't have done any of it if I hadn't realized that no matter how hard life kicks you in the ribs while you're down, you're never too Funky, to be Monkey. Shallom.
A cinematic masterpiece for the whole family
