''Rocket Monkeys'' is a Canadian animated television series produced by Creator/BreakthroughEntertainment and Creator/AtomicCartoons for Creator/{{Teletoon}} that ran from 2013 to 2016 with a total of 65 episodes over 3 seasons.

The show centers around dimwitted simian brothers Gus and Wally, who are members of [[FunWithAcronyms GASI]] (Galactic Animal Space Institute), an organization of animal astronauts focused on interplanetary exploration. The brothers possess an [[TooDumbToLive astounding lack of intelligence and skill]], but when all the good GASI teams are unavailable, Gus and Wally are usually the ones who end up saddled with whatever life-threatening space missions their boss Dr. Chimpsky needs completed. Thus, the pair travel through space with their loyal if beleaguered RobotBuddy YAY-OK, encountering various strange lifeforms and worlds, as well as dealing with the occasional galactic evildoer. But Gus and Wally, being the incompetents they are, always find a way to screw things up, and as a result, have to clean up their own messes wherever they go.
