The State - Watch The Monkeys Do It

MTV's The State was one of the funniest shows of all-time. This sketch comedy series lasted 3 seasons before MTV decided to ax it for no reason, and that time also marked the start of MTV's continuous downhill slope. This sketch is just one of the many great ones they put out there, as they rarely put out a sub par one over the 3 year span. I just love their over-the-top antics, and the absolute originality of their ideas - ie. A mailman that decides to stop delivering mail, and bring tacos everyday instead. "Great tacos Jake". Brilliant.

This clip titled Watch the Monkeys do it is a perfect example of how great this show really was. If you never heard of the show, or any of the actors, several of them make up the cast of Reno 911, which is a pretty solid show, but not anywhere near the level of The State.
