Smosh

Pokémon Pokédex displaying a Mankey in Smosh's "POKEMON IN REAL LIFE 2!" (2011).

The Pokémon Pokédex made a prominent appearance in the viral 2011 YouTube video "POKEMON IN REAL LIFE 2!" by Smosh, which has garnered over 42,000,000 views at the time of writing. It was used largely for a recurring gag parodying the perceived apparent similarity between the Pokémon Mankey and ordinary real life monkeys by the protagonist.
