FWIW, the original text named this guy "Ka-Ching Cramer, Jim's kid brother." But I always think less is more so I cut it to get to the point. The great thing about new media is you can have your cake and eat it too since I just go his real name in here.  Call me a mad man, but I think Ka-Ching the Money Chimp should deifnitely have his own show on CNBC. Could it possibly be any worse than "American Greed."  I watched the episode on Bernie Madoff and was completely stunned at the staggering worthlessness of the piece. Two hours of David Faber pressing his fingers together, a super cool voice over dude trying to sound menacing and not a single, solitary microscopic piece of new information, nor a single moment of calling out some dirty, filthy, rat pig, loser, fartbag who ignored the tips calling him out. Anyway... Ka-Ching Cramer, Money Chimp has a nice ring to it. 

And lastly, I swear that was never meant to be monkey doo doo on the back wall, just generic schmutz. But I do admit, Ka-Ching does look like a poop-thrower.

I thought you were gonna call him "Mad Monkey".  But I guess that would be too close to evil monkey.

When I saw the Chimp comic I felt offended. Poor Chimp, he has done nothing wrong to be compared with Cramer.

QP - Great point. At least this chimp is higher on the evolution scale in this toon world. Maybe I'll make a donation to some sort of chimp habitat to set my monkey karma right.

How about "the Dude" for the next host of a CNBC special on Options Trading/Free Mad Money?

While I have tremendous respect for Jim Cramer's intelligence, charisma, and ability to entertain...

I just read the above in your linked article, are you serious?  You having tremendous respect for anything related to Cramer makes me question your judgment. 

Cramer represents everything that is wrong in the world.  CNBC should consider revising their current disclaimer before his show.

"All opinions expressed by Jim Cramer on this show are solely his and do not reflect the opinions of CNBC, NBC UNIVERSAL or their parent company or affiliates.  Cramer's opinions are often pulled straight out of his ass and based upon information only he considers reliable, neither CNBC nor its affiliates and/or subsidiaries warrant its completeness or accuracy, and it should not be relied upon as such. Cramer's statements and opinions are subject to change without notice and for no apparent rhyme nor reason. No part of Cramer's compensation from CNBC is related to the specific opinions he expresses, if it were, Jim Cramer would be one broke-ass sucker.

"Past performance is not indicative of future results. Neither Cramer nor CNBC guarantees any specific outcome or profit. You should be aware of the really high risk of loss in following any strategy or investment discussed on the show, especially risky are those strategies specifically mentioned by Jim Cramer. Strategies or investments discussed may fluctuate in price or value. Investors may get back less than invested.

"Investments or strategies mentioned in this show may not be suitable for you. The ideas expressed in this show are for people who have so much money, that it really doesn't matter if they lose large sums of it.  This material does not take into account your particular investment objectives, financial situation or needs and is not intended as recommendations appropriate for you. You must make an independent decision regarding investments or strategies mentioned on the show.  Based on your crappy decision to watch this show, you probably shouldn't be the one making any investment decisions for you or anyone in your family."


"Before acting on information in the show, you should consider whether it is suitable for your particular circumstances and strongly consider seeking advice from your own financial or investment adviser.  Just the fact that you have made it this far through one of the most lengthy disclaimers on TV probably means you are highly impressionable and have no dedicated advisor to talk you out of the ridiculous ideas you are about to hear.  If that is the case, please do yourself a favor and change the channel."

eldemonio - I love your additions to their disclaimer.  Dude, come on. My judgment is dead on. He is intelligent. He is charismatic and he can entertain. That said you and I agree 100% on the real value of the show, and his ability to help anyone actually truly make any money, other than CNBC, his bosses, company, and himself, etc.

Let's be clear - I have a cigar smoking, mess-making monkey with a whoopie cushion and stacks of bananas as my take on the real brains behind the show. 

Maybe I've been in L.A. too long, but ANYone who can get ANYthing on TV and get some attention above the chaos impresses me on some level. Not for their ethics or usefulness, not for their decency, just for the sheer acting of getting anywhere. 'Cause the vast majority of fame and fortune seekers get absolutely nowhere.

Lol, I watch Cramer once in awhile for entertainment purposes. But it always gives me a shudder, when he mentions a stock that I own, which in every case has rosen nicely the previous month or so. It never fails that my gains will dissapate within the next month,after his mention.

Since I'm also LTBH I consider those buying opportunities. But, I may E-mail Cramer to please leave my stocks alone :)

Thanks for running this series Dan.

For the last several years, I have been able to watch the Asian markets on CNBC World during the time Cramer is on.  I just moved and don't have that channel here.  I know I will end up watching Mad Money again.  Really not looking forward to it.

Hey msft - yeah, when Cramer said NFLX would get to 150 I sold. To be fair to the bald maniac, his call there was dead on.  

goalie37 - first of all, my whole family - me (floor hockey in crap men's league), brother-in-law (division one soccer - SMU), wife, (all state, college) and now daughter (U14 club soccer) are all goalies, so I feel a connection... There's always Tivo and NFLX and Youtube for alternatives to the madness.

T.I.S - fair point. I don't watch Glenn Beck, but he still manages to bug the living crap out of me and I still enjoy seeing him satirized.

Glen Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Cramer...

I'm not missing anything.  For most of a year now if I'm not at work I'm either on here bugging people or reading a book.  I never know what's going on any more but it's never anything good anyway.

I really like your cartoon.

I don't think Cramer would object to this characterization.  He enjoys being a TV clown.  I know a lot of people who I think should enjoy it too, but they can't.
