I just discovered the TV show Bakuten. There is nothing right about that show at all.

This week they tortured a poor monkey by making him sit still, as they built a banana tower around him. That’s right, they plopped a helpless monkey down on the floor and told him, “Don’t move. Okay? We are going to plop all these wonderful bananas around you, but you cannot touch them until we give you the go ahead.” I think they got up to about 500 bananas.

Halfway through the ordeal, the monkey started picking at the skin of one banana, rocking back and forth, and shouting. At this point the owner said, “You can wait, can’t you? You can do it, right?” The little monkey nodded.

Put yourself in his padded feet as the bananas call out, “Little moooooonnnnnnkey. Little monnnnnnnkey. Don’t you want to eat us? Go on, peel one of us. You know you want to.”
