I have only watched the Regis and Kelly Show a couple of times so it’s not like I’m an expert or anything, but the two of them remind me of an organ grinder and a monkey. Specifically, they remind me of a long-suffering organ grinder and an epically annoying self-absorbed anorexic monkey.

            There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is that Regis’s role is nearly identical to that of an organ grinder.  He’s just trying to do his job and at the same time he has to control the monkey (or, in this case, Kelly). No one is particularly interested in him, he’s just cranking out background noise. Rather, it’s the monkey (again, Kelly) who gets all the attention, because the monkey fucking demands it. In fact, if the monkey senses your focus is drifting away, it will jump around, gesticulating wildly and making loud, shrill noises.

            The second reason they remind me of an organ grinder and a monkey is that Regis looks like an organ grinder and Kelly looks like a monkey.
