Pankun, (sometimes spelled pan-kun) is a young chimpanzee in Japan often featured on the NTV television show “Tensai! Shimura Dōbutsuen” (“天才！志村動物園”, lit. “Genius! Shimura Zoo”) and the TBS program “Dōbutsu Kisō Tengai!” (“動物園奇想天外!”, lit. “Unbelievable Animals!”). Most of the segments feature him and his bulldog friend, James, embarking on a variety of “human” tasks, like buying groceries, planting a rice paddy, or catching insects.

In this episode Pankun is hanging around in a typical Japanese office, and asked to look after the place while the boss is gone. He manages to get in a game of Jenga, assists a robber, answers the phone and dresses like Buddha. As you can imagine – all kinds of hilarity ensues.

The Japanese tokusatsu version of Spider-Man (スパイダーマン ,Supaidāman?) was a television series produced by Toei Company in 1978, based on Marvel’s superhero of the same name.

“This version of the famous web-slinging hero was part of a deal that Marvel made with Toei, namely that for a four-year period, Toei could use Marvel’s characters in any way they saw fit. So in 1978, a Spider-Man tokusatsu series was produced for Japanese television by Toei Company Ltd. While Spider-Man’s costume was certainly based on the original, the storyline had nothing to do with the Marvel character. The series had a major impact on other Japanese live-action (tokusatsu) shows, and in particular the Super Sentai series which would later be adapted for American viewers as the Power Rangers, by popularizing the use of piloted giant robots to destroy giant monsters. This series also introduced the formula of featuring monster battles on two scales in the same episode.” – Wikipedia
