Purple Monkey
Purple Monkey aka P. Monkey is a hand-puppet featured in many of Bree's videos. It is widely available at Target stores. The actual products name for this item is called Pappa Geppetto Monkey Puppet. Purple Monkey first appears in First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails on Bree's bed for a brief moment when Bree is shown spinning around during the Gnarls Barkley song montage. Episode 2, Purple Monkey is dedicated to introducing Purple Monkey, where she is described as being from Texas, not liking the fact she's a puppet, and as someone who helps Bree out.
Purple Monkey seems to have gender issues as it has been referred to by Bree as both she and he, though mostly as she. P. Monkey sometimes gets made fun of by Bree (when she covers its ears and says something). However, in the video Don't Trust The Authorities it is Gemma who does the insulting. She calls him a wanker for not being able to swim, as well as a fragile geezer. There has been a great deal of tension between the two since then.
Connection to Lucy
Lucy is a character later introduced in the series who is also somebody who helps Bree. Towards the beginning of the series, P. Monkey plays a very frequent role and is Bree's helper. However, in the later episodes as the ceremony approaches, P. Monkey appears less and less and Lucy is now called the helper. Bree makes the point of asking Lucy if it is okay for her to have stuffed animal friends (ex: P. Monkey). Lucy rephrases Bree's words by referring to them as "imaginary friends", and says they are a positive thing for people to have because they can talk to them when there is no one else around.
