Watch Warren the Ape

Warren the Ape was a 12-episode television series that aired on MTV in 2010. The show is a spin-off of the earlier series Greg the Bunny, which aired on FOX in 2002. However, whereas Greg the Bunny focused on the relationships between puppet characters and their human counterparts, Warren the Ape centers around a single puppet character and his efforts to resurrect his career.

The titular Warren DeMontague is a former star of a fictional 90s TV show called "Greg the Bunny," which as noted previously, was the basis for the earlier series. In Warren the Ape, Warren is struggling to make a comeback in Hollywood after a series of personal issues, including addiction problems and legal troubles, derailed his career.

The show is presented in a mockumentary style, with Warren frequently breaking the fourth wall to address the audience directly. The mockumentary style serves to heighten the humor of the show, with the audience being given behind-the-scenes insight into the various hijinks and drama unfolding within the fictional world of the show.

Throughout the series, Warren interacts with a cast of human and puppet characters, including his agent, his therapist, and various Hollywood executives. Notably, many of the human characters are played by real-life celebrities, including Drew Pinsky (better known as Dr. Drew), Jason Alexander, and Sarah Silverman.

Despite the show's zany premise, Warren the Ape actually tackles some serious issues, including addiction and mental illness. Indeed, Warren's struggles with addiction are a recurring theme throughout the series, and the show does not shy away from depicting the dark realities of drug abuse.

Overall, Warren the Ape was a funny and irreverent show that provided a fresh take on the world of puppetry. While the show only lasted one season, its cult following has ensured that it remains a beloved oddity of 2010s television.

Warren the Ape is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (12 episodes). The series first aired on June 14, 2010.
