Treehouse of Chimps is a Bart Simpson story first printed in Bart Simpson #86.

Synopsis[edit]

"When Professor Frink's experiments give rise to a group of highly intelligent chimpanzees, Bart and Milhouse find their treehouse overrun by the educated primates. Once their battle plan to take it back is drawn up from beneath the branches of their beloved hideout, Bart and his buddy must prepare for a final showdown that will either lead to conquest or require escape from the Treehouse of the Apes."


Plot[edit]

Professor Frink has let chimpanzees watch TV for 27 days after giving them his PIE formula when they decide to run away from the lab. Bart and Milhouse discover someone in Bart's treehouse and when they check out what it is, it turns out to be monkeys. They decide to chase them away and try to scare them off by smashing the trashcan lids, but their plan fails when the monkeys spray them with a water hose. They try to trick the monkeys with bananas, but the monkeys steal them instead. They stay in the treehouse and throw the banana skins at them. Bart goes to Lisa, who says that she read on Professor Frink's blog that he is doing a project with chimpanzees. She sends a text message to him, and Frink comes over and confirms that they are his chimpanzees. He discovers that he has a group of intelligent chimpanzees, and decides to let them decide where to go. Bart and Milhouse are not satisfied with the answer, and Lisa leaves them and lets them continue by themselves. They try to get Nelson to knock them down, but the monkeys are good at self-defense and they knock down Nelson. The apes then begin to speak English and tell Bart and Milhouse that they are not monkeys, they are chimpanzees. The chimpanzees tell them that they think the treehouse is a good place for them. Bart tells them that there is a better place, and he brings the chimpanzees to Moe's. The chimpanzees like the place, but Moe does not like them until he discovers that they have money because they make a small fortune after selling their reality show pilots to the television networks. Moe throws out his regular customers. Bart and Milhouse are delighted to have the treehouse back, but Homer, Carl and Lenny are not happy about the loss of Moe's.
