This act is a staple of small circuses everywhere. Chimpanzees like to play and show off; the biggest problem is getting them off of the motorcycle after their performance is over.  Food usually works: but as my wife and I saw at Vidbel's Circus in the late 1980s, the chimp took off down the midway on the motorcycle. We did not see how they caught him.

Considering what the vast majority of bikers I see on the road do on the regular I think they definitely could, and would make for better riders than the average human.

Don't see why not. I saw a TV series where they trained a dog to fly a light aeroplane and do circuits in response to signals it received through lights.

What is the funniest movie scene that you have ever seen?
I've got many, but a scene from the movie "Old School" makes me laugh out loud every time.
IMPORTANT: The link below leads to a YouTube video that contains profanity.
It may not be safe for work.

At the end, was that the same actor who played "Cat" in Red Dwarf?

Kenan Thompson was the actor at the very end.

The shadow play scene from Le Grand Restaurant. Too bad the YouTube thumbnail kinda spoils it, but still rather brilliant.
It's in French with English subtitles, but it might as well be pure gibberish - it doesn't matter for the scene.

I love Seann William Scott. Can't think of the most uber favorite scene of all time, but this one came to mind that's so stupid it's hilarious. Also has Seann in it.
It's from the Dukes of Hazzard movie and it's just good for the soul.

Also warning, it drops the F bomb in it. May not be safe for work.

Not sure if that was meant for me, but I do concur that whole movie is a classic.

I'm seriously biased against the DoH movies. They were entertaining enough (I do love to see a '69 Charger any time one's on screen), but I didn't see how those particular movies had much to do with the show, which had wholesome, old-fashioned family values. When I rewatched it when it first came out on DVD, I thought it was a silly show that didn't take itself too seriously, and still held up.
The movies however I thought were rude and crude and they did stuff that would have Roscoe spinning in his grave. I did enjoy Willie Nelson's part however as I'm a fan. But the character had little to do with Uncle Jessie.
As for the specific scene you pointed out - I did see the stupid, but not the hilarious. It was all very cliché from start to finish IMO. I understand the idea of making something ridiculously over-the-top ("so bad it's good"), but that's very hard to do and I thought they failed to pull it off.
But hey, humor's subjective, if you enjoyed it, I'm not gonna say it's without any merit. I grew up watching the show and the movies just deviated too much from my expectations.
Cheers!

AFAIK there's only one recent movie... could be wrong. I grew up watching the Dukes too. And oddly enough, I think Uncle Jessie was the least funny character.  I'm a fan of DoH and Seann and Johnny. So, I knew right off the bat it was gonna be stupid but funny.
The issue with making films is, nobody wants change. You make a fan-based film and peeps want to see the same exact thing they've always seen. I'm not saying the script of the movie was Oscar worthy. But, the whole point of it was to be a stupid, silly movie and not for the over thinkers. So what if it's cliché. Clichés exist for a reason.
There are times to be an intellect and there times to just let loose and laugh and not over think. If it makes you feel better though, I don't find Will Ferrell movies funny. But, I do appreciate what they're trying to accomplish... just to be stupid and silly.

There's the 2005 and the 2007 ones.

Never watched the 2007 one. Maybe it does suck for all I know.  Guess I'll have to watch it to find out.

From what (little) I remember, it probably brought the whole franchise down through its mere existence.
