I like monkeys. and I got that one to top it all off! ha ha i win!
yup yup it was good..but too easy
pretty easy, but fun at the same time.
love it!!!
Huh????? I don't get it!!!!!
YAY! i actually got one! very fun!
that was clever
That was sooo cool, but i still don't understand the title? Very clever.
Tricky, tricky, tricky! I think I would have gotten it with just Monk E's statement, but that would have been much too easy. You are far and away the best. Please keep them coming!
dumb.
Excellent Teaser...Good Job
Groan....
neofreak, read the past comments!
very nice teaser! monk E) gave it away...i thought "monkey's uncle" before i even tried to figure out the rest. (i shall become his father's brother) very well-written!
Clever stuff, keep them coming!
Funny one!
I figured this one out pretty fast...once I saw monk E I pretty much new it Great teaser it was loads of fun. Keep em comming
I saw it coming... but thanks for the teaser.
Gee, you are a real Chimp off the old block. I don't want to pry mate but this family is out of its tree.

WO WANG LE (I FORGOT)
EASY AND OBVIOUS, BUT CUTE NON THE LESS.
EASY AND OBVIOUS, BUT CUTE NON THE LESS.
Don't understand this at all. I mean I get the phrase, but how do you get to or justify the answer?
to easy cmon now try something original
Could someone please explain this to me? I understand the joke but not the reason for the answer. I tried to work it out but got confused Thanx
Cute, but I didn't get it. to: Jokaholic: Monk E = Monkey, I'll be... get it?
i understand the joke to it!!!
but what is the reason for the answer
but what is the reason for the answer
The reason for the answer? It's just a phrase like well I'll be doggoned!
I guess what Jokaholic and I are both trying to ask is what are the directions to figuring out how you get the answer "I'll be a monkey's Uncle?" I don't understand what we are supposed to be doing to get the answer.
It's a rebus, remember. I think you guys are thinking too hard. It's more of a pun, I think
it was HORRIBLE
That was the lamest teaser of them all. I'll be a MONK E's uncle??? Oh! Ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha... No.
I didn't understand until after I read the answer! Forgive me, I'm moving rather slow today...
This is an OLD joke! And, being a rebus, it was easy to solve! Are there not enough NEW teasers to run or are we going to run old teasers from now on? Just a comment, but I know there must be others wondering the same!
I am not very good at the rebus puzzles ,but this was just too cute Thx it was a good puzzle.
?
Not bad! I guess a hint would have been superfluous.
Has anyone worked it out yet. There must be a reason for the answer. I dont think it s atrick
it's not a logic puzzle!
i was reading more into it than it was
Duh! I guess I was thinking along the lines of Relativity even though I did realize the monkey's uncle was there -guess I got Darwin and someone else mixed up on the therory of relativity.
Well.. despite monk E being the uncle, not monk E's uncle, I got this one because heck, what else could it be?
Easy! What does that mean, anyway?
The title made it too easy. Make that the hint and change the title to "Monk's talking" or some such.
My little brother is known for being monkey-like.
