This is about the advertising character. For the mythical Chinese character, see Sun Wukong.

Monkey (also known as The Monkey, ITV Digital Monkey or PG Tips Monkey, and often pronounced "Munkeh" in imitation of Johnny Vegas' Lancashire accent), is an animated puppet advertising character in the form of a knitted sock monkey. He was first produced by The Jim Henson Company via their UK Creature Shop, puppeteered by Nigel Plaskitt and Susan Beattie and voiced by comedian Ben Miller.
