Some people find apes, monkeys, and lemurs inherently amusing, probably because they go 'ooh ooh', swing through the trees and stereotypically eat bananas. Perhaps it's also the fact that they mirror humanity so closely while still maintaining the visage of a wild animal, perhaps it's also just easier to anthropomorphize them, or maybe people just like poop-tossing jokes? Whatever the reason, there's a cyclic period of people being fascinated by primates that always seems to take the world of fiction by storm.
This has long been noted by comic book authors, who, during the Silver Age, took every opportunity to insert, turn people into, or otherwise add gorillas to a superhero story. (In fact, DC Comics had a policy at the time limiting the number of "monkey" issues per month, to prevent everybody from doing it.) The use of primates as a source of humor has also been associated at times with the tastes of the Lowest Common Denominator, who view the ultimate form of entertainment as a top-hat-wearing, diaper-wearing, cigar-smoking chimp riding a tricycle.
One consequence of this trope is the tendency in media to refer to great apes like gorillas or chimpanzees as monkeys, as even though they're technically not monkeys in the popular sense, the word "monkey" is simply funnier. It should be noted that apes are cladistically a specific type of monkey - they are the sister group of the Old World monkeys, together forming the catarrhine clade of simian primates. In other words, apes (including humans) are more closely-related by descent to Old World monkeys than Old World monkeys are to New World ones, so any use of "monkey" to include Old World and New World monkeys but exclude apes is paraphyletic and arbitrary from a scientific perspective. Some Talking Animal works make light of this distinction by having a great ape be called a "monkey", only to either correct whomever called them that or to take offense (such as, for instance, a certain librarian or an expectant chimpanzee father). By logical extension, this trope also extends to prosimians (a term traditionally used for primates that aren't monkeys or apes, e.g. lemurs such as King Julien) being employed for comedy, despite not being technically monkeys in the cladistic sense.
The image of the peaceful, childlike, and funny caveman, usually a member of the Neanderthal species, technically belongs in this trope. For that matter, one could say a cast of comedic humans or extinct hominids qualifies, but this trope tends to focus on non-Homo primates.
See also Apes in Space, Killer Space Monkey, Maniac Monkeys, Mischief-Making Monkey, Monkeys on a Typewriter, Sea Aping and Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot (which invokes this trope quite often); also check out Quacking Up and Goofy Feathered Dinosaur for the equivalents of this trope for avians and kin. See Cymbal-Banging Monkey for a common exception to this trope. For more mythically mysterious monkey-ish beings, see Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Monkeys feature heavily in an early part of the game, namely within Faron Woods and the residing Forest Temple, and show up later. One Mini-Boss is even a baboon (acting under pest control), who then helps Link during the battle against the first boss, Diababa.

Not to mention how Beast's original thing was his incredibly simian physique, causing him to look like a shaved gorilla. Then he became something akin to a blue-furred gorilla with a bizarre Wolverine-ish hairdo. Later he lost the gorilla-like traits to become cat-like, though.

In Secret Six, Ragdoll used some of his mercenary money to buy "a monkey house and a variety of little monkey outfits" for his monkeys. He dressed them up as his team members, covered himself with monkey chow and giggled as they attacked him.◊ It was unsettling and hilarious.

Nathan Drake certainly thinks this in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, when he pauses in a Malagasy market to play with a pet ring-tailed lemur. Unless of course he's bought an apple from a market stall earlier, in which case the lemur makes off with the apple.

A particularly long-running take on the above occurred in the Eclipse comic Zot!. Due to an early run-in with a deevolutionary cult, one of the characters turned into a chimpanzee every time he visited the alternate earth of the titular character. He didn't mind as much as you'd think.

Gwynn from Sluggy Freelance owns several monkeys who are enchanted to attack and humiliate anyone who irritates her. The monkeys themselves don't appear that often, but a lot of mileage is gotten out of the gag that the other characters pretend "monkeys" is Gwynn's nickname for her breasts. "I've done something bad with my monkeys (...) If we don't do something my monkeys are going to be all over her in front of everyone (...) be on the lookout for my monkeys and grab them if you see them. They could pop up anywhere."

Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy, has admitted he likes drawing monkeys. Especially gorillas with bolts in their neck, which is why Hermann von Klempt has a series of enhanced gorillas ("Kriegaffen", or "war apes") as aides. In addition, Count Guarino is turned into a chimpanzee during "Box Full of Evil". A monkey that carries a pistol and tortures Abe with a burning poker.

Victorian businessman Thomas Bin thought so, to the extent he had a hotel made out of monkeys, who were stacked together to form a 'rigid but flexible framework'. And it actually worked, until someone set up a peanut-butter and banana treat factory next door, causing the monkeys to go berserk and attack everyone nearby, including Bin himself, who then goes missing. Incidentally, the man describing Bin's fate to his children, who just happens to be his business partner, has no idea why someone would put such a factory there, before offering them some peanut-butter and banana treats.

A few Disney geeks have a theory: this trope is the only acceptable reason why there are "lemurs" in the Late Cretaceous period in Dinosaur.

Kratts' Creatures spinoff Zoboomafoo featured a lemur as a main character. For a few seconds each episode, he'd be an actual lemur, for most of the rest, he'd be a puppet, but then there'd also be these stories with him depicted in claymation.

The Simpsons has used the primate gag a couple dozen times over its long run.
Most delightfully in "Homer the Great" when Homer becomes the leader of a Stonemasons-style secret organization and decided that the best way to use his new-found power was to get a bunch of monkeys together and re-enact the Civil War.
The chimps that were sent into space came back super-intelligent from "Deep Space Homer".
There's Mr. Teeny, Krusty's cigar-smoking chimp sidekick.
There's that time Flanders's house got taken over by a radioactive baboon. He was seen slapping Flanders while the latter was driving and trying to understand his commands.
In "Girly Edition", Apu gets a helper monkey, and Homer craves one too. He is told helper animals are only for the disabled and feeble, so he brings Old Grampa with him to get Mojo and Homer of course usurps him. He gets him to do fun stuff like watch TV, eat and drink to excess, steal donuts, etc. "Pray. For. Mojo."
Title on the multiplex cinema marquee: "Sing, Monkey, Sing."
An in-universe example: Homer always finds monkeys (or actually, chimpanzees) hysterically funny whenever someone dresses them in human clothes. It helps that he's easily amused in general, but for his entertainment value, nothing beats chimps.
"He's... Editor in CHIMP!"
Come on, Lisa! MONKEYS!
"That's what you get for not hailing to the chimp!"
In "Simpson Safari", when the Simpsons went to Africa and became hopelessly lost, Homer reassured them that he had a map. He gets out the box of Animal Crackers that started it all and finds an outline of Africa on one side with a picture of a chimp as the only decoration on it. Homer: "He, he, he. Monkey." They were still lost.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls has a scene with Ace joining a bunch of chimps in a mass exodus from a building, and doing a pretty fair imitation of their movements. Also, gorilla rape to the tune of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". The latter is a case of Rule of Funny, as gorillas, by and large, have much smaller penises than humans. It also introduces Spike, Ace's monkey sidekick who gets more screentime in the animated series.

The Lego adaptations of Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean. Both franchises had monkeys to begin with, but the Lego games, as full as they are of Affectionate Parody and Silliness Switch, decided everything was better with more monkeys. Trading bananas to monkeys so they'll give you a tool you need is a frequent game mechanic, and there are other gags involving monkeys.

Of course, this all culminated in the crossover JLApe: Gorilla Warfare!, where the entire Justice League were turned into gorillas, even in their own comics. Before you ask, it was actually in the late nineties.

The SCP Foundation disagrees with this trope.
The two non-human primate SCPs are a Cymbal-Banging Monkey that plays tricks on its owner, and an over-evolved chimp that wants to destroy human society.
A case that seems silly but gets horrifying is SCP-983, a mechanical monkey that comes to life when someone touches it on their birthday, sings a song that ages that person for a year for each verse and won't stop until they're either dead or sing along with it until it's satisfied. If the person sings well enough, the candy it produces afterwards reverses any aging caused by the song and might even ultimately make the person younger: however, if the song is sung perfectly, it's implied that the candy makes them Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, which may or may not be what they wanted.
The biggest case isSCP-050, a monkey statue that automatically appears in the possession of the person to play the best prank.
And also played straight with Dr. Bright, who can inhabit any body but is usually an orangutan.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back had the titular duo adopt an orangutan for some reason. (This was hinted at back at the end of Mallrats, where the last scene shows Jay and Silent Bob heading off into the distance with the orangutan, named Suzanne, in tow. No explanation is given for this, nor was the ape ever seen prior. It seemed to be an excuse to shoehorn Weezer's "Suzanne" over the ending montage.) Sexy jewel thieves were involved.
A similar sequence also appeared in the Jay and Silent Bob comic-book miniseries and the Clerks cartoon.
Lampshaded in the film. In one sequence, we see Shannen Doherty in a Scream-esque scene, in which she is attacked by Ghostface but manages to knock him out, and unmasks him. It's the orangutan:

Open at Night: Luigi and Faeza steal an ape (they need him for a stage production), who is introduced leafing through a book as he is reading it. The ape lights Luigi's cigarette with a lighter, then calmly sits with Luigi and Faeza at a bar, drinking juice from a glass. This gag is brought to a screeching halt when the ape is Killed Offscreen, hit by a car—but the ending reveals that the ape wasn't actually injured and is perfectly fine.

World of Warcraft:
The Hozen are a race of sapient mountain- and tree-dwelling monkeys. They are noted as having mentalities comparable to a fourteen year-old boy, made only worse when their new Horde allies give them rocket launchers and machine guns.
For a while, World of Warcraft had an inverse to the trope. Despite their toughness and useful area-of-effect ability, gorillas were the least popular Hunter pets, due to their scarcity, lack of skills, and fussy diets. Fortunately, later patches corrected this.

A rather large number of minigames in all four Rhythm Heaven titles feature monkeys in some form or another, from a girl tap-dancing alongside two monkeys, to a pop star's cheering audience of monkeys, to even a wristwatch (and a clock tower) that relies on tiny, high-fiving monkeys to tell the time. Megamix lampshades and invokes this in the description for the minigame "Pajama Party" ("Everything, including pajama parties, is better with monkeys"), and features a challenge where you play a string of monkey-based minigames in a row.

Don't Starve:
Splumonkeys, monkeys that dwell in caves and live inside barrels. They rob players of their inventory and throw manure in combat. If a Splumonkey manages to steal a hat, it'll wear the hat.
In the Shipwrecked DLC, the Prime Apes function as a friendlier version of the Splumonkey. Differences are that they live aboveground, take only items that are dropped, and are a form of "indifferent" mob which can be befriended. (They still wear stolen hats.)

Metal Gear:
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater included the minigame entitled "Snake VS Monkey". It's almost exactly what it sounds like. It's a Shout-Out to Sony's Ape Escape series which, in return, featured a minigame in Ape Escape 3 called "Mesal Gear Solid: Snake Escape", an Affectionate Parody of the MGS games.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has a monkey in the actual game — apparently the character it hangs out with wasn't "interesting enough" on his own. Fortunately Raiden's Motion Capture actor was pretty good at imitating a monkey, and Kojima liked the imitation enough that he decided to Throw It In!.

Mario Party 5: The minigame Chimp Chase has all the characters retrieve the mischievous baby Ukikis to their color-coded parents (brown, red, blue and white). Catching an Ukiki is tricky enough, due to them running fast, so it's advised to focus on those closest to their breed's teritory. Each Ukiki retrieved is worth 1 point but, after a while, a gold-colored Ukiki appears, which runs faster and can be grouped with any of the four families, being worth 3 points instead of one. The character with the highest score after 30 seconds wins.

In Schlock Mercenary, various Terran species have been ascended to sapience. Of these, apes are prominently featured. Also elephants.
When the crew are going undercover in a circus, the ringmaster wants to know what a sentient elephant and an ape could do that would be impressive. Isn't it obvious?
And now, we have a headless monkey. Originally meant to be used for torture, it turns out to be more important than that. It's a Chekhov's Monkey!

Meta example for Exalted: The team of freelance writers calling themselves the Ink Monkeys, who nearly everyone agrees make everything they touch a thousand times better.
Keep in mind however, that some fans (some more rational than others) think they dialed down the brokenness too much, and now the game is a little underpowered. Most of those admit that the game is more playable, now (and the official boards won't like you very much if you bring up that criticism).

MAD had a one-panel feature for a brief period of time called "Monkeys Are Always Funny". The article consisted of a serious, often tragic picture from real life with a monkey digitally added in — and yes, for some reason the monkey was always funny. They also did an entire issue "written by" monkeys. It didn't work as well as you'd think; when every single punchline is "MONKEY!", it loses its effect.

In the American Dad! episode "Stan of Arabia part 2", Stan is at the American embassy trying to secure his wife's release from prison, despite having renounced their American citizenship. Trying to explain his lack of passports he says it's a "funny story," and is met with a number of monkey themed scenarios from an official, who assumed that any "funny story" must naturally involve "nature's clowns." Later, after he explains that Francine is in real danger, a monkey randomly pops out from behind his desk, making the official crack up.

Ray from Everybody Loves Raymond seems to have a deep appreciation for monkeys. The best example is when he mentions this one time when he and his family were at a zoo, and he was watching a man with a monkey, and Debra simply gave him the "don't even think about it" look just for thinking it might be fun to have a monkey in the house.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has a monkey in the actual game — apparently the character it hangs out with wasn't "interesting enough" on his own. Fortunately Raiden's Motion Capture actor was pretty good at imitating a monkey, and Kojima liked the imitation enough that he decided to Throw It In!.

Pathfinder has its own arrangement of monkey monsters, most notably the Sikari Macaques — swarms of monkeys infected with a form of monkey rabies that leaves them as unhinged killers. This leaves them vulnerable to healing magic — a remove disease spell will halve the swarm's current hit points.

The third collection of The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius, "Monkey Tales," involves: a superintelligent other-dimensional gorilla, a tribe of sasquatch, and a hyper-Ebola monkey. (That's three separate stories, mind.)

There have actually been lots of monkey- and ape-based creatures in D&D over the years. Listing all of them could probably double this page's length.

Hanuman from the Sanskrit epic Ramayana. Not only is he the king of all monkeys in India, he is also a legendary hero and a demigod. Unable to find a rare healing plant on a mountain, he just brought the entire mountain back. Then he helped his friend Rama find his kidnapped wife by jumping from the Indian mainland all the way to Sri Lanka to scout the capital city of the Rakshasa demons. When he was captured and the demon king Ravana had his tail set on fire, Hanuman escaped and jumped from roof to roof, setting the entire city on fire.

The Legend of Zelda:
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: You need to pay a monkey to open a dungeon door for you.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: A monkey appears in southwest of Kanalest Castle, and is part of the game's Chain of Deals. He's also important to fight the Chain Chomp you happen to be walking.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: A group of monkeys inhabit Southern Swamp; though mischievous, they're well-mannered and have memorized the patterns of the local Woods of Mystery. They ask Link to rescue an innocent monkey from implied death in Deku Palace, for which he'll also have to rescue the Deku Princess in Woodfall Temple.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Monkeys feature heavily in an early part of the game, namely within Faron Woods and the residing Forest Temple, and show up later. One Mini-Boss is even a baboon (acting under pest control), who then helps Link during the battle against the first boss, Diababa.

On FUMBBL, a popular website to simulate online Blood Bowl games, there are three teams listed on the CRB teams page which are not actually included in the tabletop rules. Two of them, Daemons of Khorne and Bretonnia, were codified by Cyanide and approved by Games Workshop for the official video games (Khorne for Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition and Bretonnia for Blood Bowl 2). The third team consists of (presumably) sapient bonobos, orangutans, chimps, and gorillas with no basis in Warhammer Fantasy lore, unlike every other team. This trope (as well as a genuinely fair and mechanically interesting play style, YMMV) is the main reason they're included on the roster.

In Gintama, the author of the manga Gintaman is revealed to be an ordinary gorilla. The Author Avatar later ends up being a humanized gorilla, and Kondo, who has the nickname of "Gorilla", ends up being transformed into one in a particular story arc.
In one arc, the Yorozuya gang and others decide to play a MMORPG called Monkey Hunter in an attempt to gather some information on some aliens who had them unwillingly modified into screwdrivers. The game is essentially the same as what it's a parody of, just with nothing but giant monkeys as the enemies.
Another arc has Kyubey tasked with watching over a pet monkey, whom she proceeds to give an Overly Long Name.

Far Cry has mutated monkeys known as Trigen that run straight at you, can leap at you from more than a dozen feet away, and can kill you in just 2 or 3 hits. They were widely considered Demonic Spiders and an unexpected Genre Shift from the game's previously tactical combat against human mercenaries.

Super Mario Bros.:
Super Mario 64: At Tall Tall Mountain, Ukkiki the monkey steals Mario's hat with glee.
Mario Party 5: The minigame Chimp Chase has all the characters retrieve the mischievous baby Ukikis to their color-coded parents (brown, red, blue and white). Catching an Ukiki is tricky enough, due to them running fast, so it's advised to focus on those closest to their breed's teritory. Each Ukiki retrieved is worth 1 point but, after a while, a gold-colored Ukiki appears, which runs faster and can be grouped with any of the four families, being worth 3 points instead of one. The character with the highest score after 30 seconds wins.

Indiana Jones:
A scene of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has Mutt Williams getting stuck in a tree, and being discovered by monkeys that due to having the same "hair" as his, decide to show Mutt vine-swinging and then help him attack the Dirty Communists. Opinions were divided between "it's stupid" ("I used to joke that you could make any movie better by adding monkeys or explosions to it. I take back the part about the monkeys.") and "it's fun" ("What I want is goofy action -- lots of it. (...) And throw in lots of monkeys.").
A monkey appears in several scenes of Raiders of the Lost Ark until its greed gets the better of it.

Monkeys and apes are a recurring joke throughout Kim Possible, with them being the source of Ron's mystical kung-fu powers (which usually don't work until the Grand Finale), as well as his greatest fear and the source of power of his personal archenemy, Monkey Fist. Two words: monkey ninjas.
There was also Josh Mankey, a character that Ron formed a conspiracy theory around, based on his last name being one vowel away from "monkey." And Camp Wannaweep, the camp Ron went to as a young boy, had a chimpanzee for a mascot. Ron was forced to bunk with said mascot, and this is where he developed the phobia.
When geneticist villainess DN Amy fell in love with Monkey Fist, she stalked him with the help of her samurai gorillas.

Tarzan was based on Tarzan of the Apes, but Disney did work the monkey trope into a wacky lather in the film, particularly with Tarzan's loud-mouthed female gorilla sidekick Terk, her not-too-bright buddies Flynt and Mungo, and the mischievous baby baboon Manu. On the other hand, some primate characters are completely serious (i.e. Kerchak, the stern silverback and Kala, Tarzan's loving foster mother) or are more threatening than funny (the baboon horde).

Gorillas and monkeys appear as background characters in Dumbo. A gorilla during the circus parade ferociously shakes the bars of his cage but comically drops the fierce act when he accidentally breaks the cage bars.

King Louie, an eccentric musical orangutan from The Jungle Book was Disney's original addition to the movie, yet arguably, feels very much as if he belongs to Mowgli's world. The original book does, however, have a scene where the monkeys try to make Mowgli their leader, and won't let him go. He was later transplanted to TaleSpin.

The entire premise of Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp, a spy fiction parody featuring actors doing voice-overs for footage of trained chimpanzees ("Get that Ape!"), which was apparently based on a series of British commercials for PG Tips Tea — see Advertising.
A more recent example could be TBS's "Monkeyed Movies" shorts (featuring chimps doing parodies of popular movies) and its 30-minute follow-up/spin-off The Chimp Channel from the 1990s.

The Elder Scrolls:
The Imga are a race of sentient "great apes" from Valenwood, the forest homeland of the Bosmer (Wood Elves). They are known for their reverence to the Altmer (High Elves) and seek to emulate them in dress and, sometimes, even going as far to shave their fur. Ironically, the most famous Imga in the series' lore is Marukh, known as the "Monkey Prophet," who was the leader of the 1st Era Alessian Order. The Order was extremely human-supremacist and extremely racist toward all races of Elves. They've yet to appear in the series (though the lore-friendly Skyrim Mod, "Moonpath to Elsweyr", adds them in as Giant Mooks to the Altmeri Thalmor.
The Tang Mo are a race of "monkey folk" who hail from the continent of Akavir, far to the east of Tamriel. They are described as kind and brave, but also simple and mad. Despite this, they are capable of raising armies and have successfully defended themselves against their hostile and more aggressive neighbors (including the Kamal "Snow Demons" and the Tsaesci "Snake Vampires"). They've recently (relative to when Mysterious Akavir was written) allied themselves with the Ka Po' Tun "Tiger Folk".

In the April 1981 episode of '80s All Over, Drew McWeeny ponders why film and TV believed in this trope as it applied to orangutans at the turn of the 1980s (Every Which Way but Loose, Cannonball Run II, etc.) when he and Scott Weinberg discuss Going Ape! Did people just discover their existence at that time and that's how it became the go-to funny animal?

A number of Pokémon are monkeys and other primates.
Ash has captured some of them in the anime: Primeape, Aipom (traded to Dawn and now an Ambipom), and Chimchar (now an Infernape).
Pokémon Black and White feature a trio of monkeys of the Fire, Water, and Grass types. The first Gym Leaders and countless trainers after use them (for Triple Battles or otherwise) for no other reason than to execute this trope.

The Magic: The Gathering design team for Alliances thought that continuity's idea for a race of sentient gorillas was silly, so they made fun of it by putting the word gorilla in every card's name. For example, Force of Will was originally called "Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla (Stop That)." As an homage to this, the card Sol Grail's name is an anagram of "gorillas".
Of course, some of the gorillas (and references to them) still made it into the set as actual cards. In all, nineteen distinct Ape cards have been printed to date (most recently four reprints in the ninth edition of the main set)...not counting those which simply have all creature types.

The Fairly OddParents!:
"Abra-Catastrophe!" flips the entire cartoon's universe into one populated with monkeys as the dominant species, complete with an alternate, monkey-and-banana-centric credits sequence.
"You know, if it weren't for the fact that all of this is historically accurate, I would think that someone was making up incredibly lame puns." This is specifically in response to a history lesson about how the "Founding Alpha Males" signed the "Declarapetion of Independence" to create "The United Apes of America", but there are more ape related puns. Many, many more.
The show paid homage to Space Ghost in "Channel Chasers," when Cosmo turned into The Monkey.

Deconstructed in Nope. The film features the Show Within a Show Gordy's Home, a sitcom that ran off the gimmick of the main character being Gordy the chimpanzee, done to draw in family audiences by exploiting the popular conception of nonhuman primates as silly. However, despite seeming tame on-set most of the time, Gordy is still a wild animal, and one of the most aggressive ones known to man, which ultimately leads to him literally going ape after being agitated and startled and mauling the cast and crew.

Justice League Heroes: The Flash follows the trend of DC comics and has The Flash villain Gorilla Grodd as the first boss fight, and his gorilla army serves as some of the variety of goons throughout the entire game.

Super Sentai and Power Rangers frequently include gorillas and other apes when doing an animal theme. Gorilla-themed Rangers appear in Gingaman/Lost Galaxy, Go-Busters/Beast Morphers, and Zyuohger; and Gaoranger/Wild Force and Gekiranger/Jungle Fury also have gorilla mecha in them. Kakuranger/Mighty Morphin' Season 3 also has an ape mecha and Shinkenger/Samurai has a monkey.
Also, in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, Grifforzer was supposed to be a griffin (hence the name), but was referred to as a "space monkey" and given a more monkey-like voice when he became Goldar in the American Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
During the premiere of Power Rangers Turbo, Bulk and Skull were turned into chimps by Elgar and remained stuck that way for half the season.
In Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, evil pirate Basco has a pet monkey named Sally. It's a guy in a rubber suit, but one that generally acts like an actual monkey rather than a Monster of the Week.

On Double Dare there were several physical challenges where a person getting messy had to dress like a gorilla (a few episodes even featured Robin dressed in the costume). Marc would often give the other player in such challenges a Fay Wray wig, meaning if you were told to wear that you were safe from the mess; however, he once pulled a Bait-and-Switch by telling a girl to put the wig on and then having her also put on the gorilla outfit and receive the messy end of the challenge. 2000 featured a chimp mascot named Brooks in a few episodes.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater included the minigame entitled "Snake VS Monkey". It's almost exactly what it sounds like. It's a Shout-Out to Sony's Ape Escape series which, in return, featured a minigame in Ape Escape 3 called "Mesal Gear Solid: Snake Escape", an Affectionate Parody of the MGS games.

In Granblue Fantasy, the "Handsome Gorilla" event has this trope as its central Rule of Funny theme. From the title alone, the eponymous drinking supplement, the side-effects of acting and speaking like Gorillas, to the worst case scenario of mistaking everyone as Gorillas. And oh, did we mention the new gacha summon that was released alongside this event? Nothing else, but a Gorilla!

Kroot from the Warhammer 40k use a species called the "Krootox" as a battle and pack animal, it is essentially a big beaked gorilla. More interestingly, the Krootox were once a normal kroot Kindred ("tribe") that used the kroot ability to absorb genes from food to bulk up, eventually becoming non-sentient and stuck in that form.
There's also the Jokaero, who are intelligent orangutans...In SPACE. Though not as prevalent as they once were, they are still important due to their feats of engineering, and aren't even sapient so what they will make is entirely based on the Jokaero's own whims and survival instinct. They are the Imperium's only source of "digital weapons", miniature one-shot versions of full-sized weapons normally used by the Imperium that can be worn on a finger.
And now, thanks to the new Grey Knights codex, it's possible to field an entire army consisting of them (plus one Inquisitor), colloquially known as the "Barrel of Monkeys" army build.

Apparently, the developers of God Hand decided that the hilarity of gorillas was only increased by training them in the art of Lucha Libre, and was increased to nearly fatal levels by throwing in groin shots complete with a laugh track. It worked, mostly due to the fact that the whole game is so absurd that they don't seem too weird in comparison.

Dragon Ball's protagonist Goku has a monkey-like tail, and turns into the Oozaru, a giant were-monkey, when he looks at the full moon. He shares these traits with his entire race, the Saiyans. Though in this case, everything is not better with monkeys: Goku and his son Gohan turn completely feral and lose control when they turn into Oozarus, and while Vegeta can remain in control in Oozaru form, he's still evil (and by the time he makes his Heel–Face Turn he's lost his tail, and with it the ability to go Oozaru).

Slam Dunk: No actual monkeys in the show, but the main character Sakuragi is described as a "redheaded monkey" and Akagi's nickname is literally "Gori" (short for Gorilla). In fact, any excessively big and manly guy is referred to as a gorilla. Whenever Shohoku is chibified, they're usually portrayed as monkeys being led by a gorilla (except Rukawa whose a fox). From different teams we have Kyota, an equally Hot-Blooded rival, that is called "Wild Monkey" while Akagi's rival, Uozomi (who also has big stature), is nicknamed "Boss Monkey".

Sun Wukong from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, a super-strong, super-fast, regenerating monkey with magic powers who was also a Sociopathic Hero. Also a textbook example of a munchkin. He was likely originally inspired by the above Hanuman.

Ryzom both inverts this and plays it straight — there are "Primitive" variants of each of the four Homin Races (three — Gibbaï, Cutes, and Frahars — that actually appear ingame, and a fourth, Momos, which is extinct) that like to attack you on sight (and can hit like a ton of bricks if you're a lower-level character), but there are also "Intelligent" variants of these (Gibads, Fraiders, and Cuzans) which are relatively friendly and are grouped as Tribes that you can earn Fame with.

The book in question features no monkeys, it is about children who get evil powers from gnawing on contaminated aluminum siding, but research shows that people love monkeys and a monkey on the cover will just about double sales.

The Mother series has more than a barrel full of monkeys factoring into the plot.
In EarthBound Beginnings, Ninten and the other travel through a underground passage filled with monkeys who give off random false facts as they make their way around.
In EarthBound (1994), a bubblegum-chewing monkey is the key to getting across the river at Winters; another point in the game requires the party to give and receive gifts from several monkeys to proceed.
In Mother 3, the third chapter of the game is played entirely by a monkey named Salsa. Fassad makes him his slave by threatening his girlfriend (whom Kumatora dubs the "love monkey") and then fitting him with an electric collar.

Monkeys have become the de facto mascots of the TimeSplitters game series.
TimeSplitters Future Perfect included ninja monkeys, zombie monkeys, and cyborg monkeys (which the game describes as "Inevitable, really"). Multiplayer includes "Monkey Assistant" mode, in which the losing player is lent help by a pack of monkeys with rocket launchers.
The easiest way to describe the series (especially 2) is like this: GoldenEye on speed with monkeys!
The 4th entry to the series will reportedly have a Master Chief monkey and a Big Daddy monkey.

In Baldur's Gate, the canonical ending for Jan Jansen (spoiler tagged for obtrusive wall of text):
Jan Jansen's life following his association with CHARNAME was typically convoluted, the barest of details hidden amidst his half-truths and whole lies. According to his published memoirs, "A Jansen in Every Port," after a short prison term for monkey smuggling, he returned to his first love... monkey smuggling. This led to the now infamous Gibbon Riot of '72, a tumultuous and altogether unclean event that seemed to center on the estate of the Shadow Thief Vaelag. Jan would deny that he had planned the downfall of the rogue, but he was unable to explain what practical application he had intended for a horde of knife-wielding simians. Nevertheless, the death of the admittedly disliked and generally suspect Vaelag could not be attributed to the young gnome. Strangely enough, Jan had alibis for each and every second of the day in question, and what a day it must have been! Relatives from across the Realms came forward to say that he had stopped in for tea and turnips. At his later wedding to Lissa, Jan was asked how he managed to be in so many places at once, and yet still so far from the scene of the crime. "Well," Jan would say, "when you have that many monkeys, anything is possible."

In MindJack, the corporate military have cybernetically enhanced gorillas and bonobos in their army. In his otherwise-bile-filled review of the game, Angry Joe singled this out as the only positive thing he could mention about it.

And the Red Ghost's super-apes; a gorilla with Super-Strength, an orangutan with Voluntary Shapeshifting, and a Gravity Master mandrill. They all gained their powers (as did the Red Ghost, who gained Intangibility) from the same cosmic ray storm that gave the Fantastic Four their powers.

Mega Man:
The original Mega Man series had Buster Rod G. of the Genesis Unit. Both he and Hanumachine from Mega Man Zero are shout outs to Sun Wukong from Journey to the West.
Mega Man X series had Spark Mandrill and Soldier Stonekong. More recently there's Purprill the Mandroid from Mega Man ZX.
Mega Man Legends have the recurring character of Data, a cute robot monkey sidekick.

How I Met Your Mother features monkeys a few times:
In one episode, Marshal gets mugged by a small monkey. (Or not. He never tells anyone once and for all if he actually just invented that story.) Barney finds this just hilarious. And at the end of the episode, the little primate is reenacting King Kong.
In another episode, Robin temporarily moves to Japan, where the co-host of her news show is a chimp.

A scene of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has Mutt Williams getting stuck in a tree, and being discovered by monkeys that due to having the same "hair" as his, decide to show Mutt vine-swinging and then help him attack the Dirty Communists. Opinions were divided between "it's stupid" ("I used to joke that you could make any movie better by adding monkeys or explosions to it. I take back the part about the monkeys.") and "it's fun" ("What I want is goofy action -- lots of it. (...) And throw in lots of monkeys.").

Feng Shui includes among its factions the Jammers, which are intelligent cybernetic monkeys and apes working in concert with the few humans immune to the influence of Chi. Their aim is to destroy every feng shui site in existence so humanity can be "free" from the "tyranny" of Chi, something which may have very bad consequences for the world.

Eyeshield 21 has one of the main characters, Raimon Tarou, follow a monkey motif. This includes adhering to stereotypical monkey traits such as running on all fours, climbing high trees, handling objects with his feet(he caught the football with his feet in a dream, and main character Sena actually believed it was Raimon's new technique), and snacking on bananas, his favorite food. He even cries "Mukyaa!", which in Japanese is a monkey's cry. Despite all this, he still gets incredibly offended when someone calls him a monkey.
In a poll for the manga, he won over a real monkey for "most monkey-like".

Optimus Primal of Transformers: Beast Wars. The whole Optimus-Gorilla vs. Megatron-Tyrannosaurus Rex thing was, of course, in reference to King Kong.
He's not the only one though. Other Transformers getting up to monkey business include Beastbox and Apeface from Generation One, and Optimus Minor, Apelinq, Primal Prime, B'Boom, and Apache from the beast era. Though to be fair, two of those are derived from toys of Optimus Primal, and the last two are nigh identical, but separate, characters using the same toy.
However, not everyone thought it was good.

In The Last Podcast on the Left series on Jonestown, the crew is highly amused by the fact that one of Jim Jones' early means to raise money was selling spider monkeys door to door and they cannot stop laughing when they play a clip from a Peoples Temple follower's deadpan testimony of her first having met Jones when he sold her a monkey to replace her previous one which had hung itself. Later on, Henry relates how Peoples Temple eventually got a chimpanzee named Mr. Muggs as their mascot, whom Henry imagines as an Only Sane Man communicating his displeasure at the madness around him via a Congo style voice synthesizer.

In Justice League Unlimited episode "Dead Reckoning" Gorilla Grodd reveals his master plan is to use Gorilla City's cloaking shield generator to produce a carrier wave that will magically turn every man, woman, and child on Earth into an ape. Lex Luthor and the other supervillains were less than amused. And by "less than amused," we mean "Luthor shot him in the face." Even the heroes were underwhelmed; Wonder Woman's response upon seeing her transformation: "Oh, come ON!"
