I wish I had a monkey butler.

I think they are actually chimps not apes. But it is still funny as hell.

Apes are a non scientific term for hominoidea.

They include:
gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans

Generally (though not exhaustively) primates without tails.

I stand corrected. I was wrong...

Quote:
An ape is any member of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates, including humans. Due to its ambiguous nature, the term ape is less suitable as a means of describing taxonomic relationships.

Under the current classification system there are two families of hominoids:

the family Hylobatidae consists of 4 genera and 14 species of gibbon, including the Lar Gibbon and the Siamang, collectively known as the lesser apes.
the family Hominidae consisting of chimpanzees, gorillas, humans and orangutans[1][2] collectively known as the great apes.
A few other primates, such as the Barbary Ape, have the word ape in their common names (usually to indicate lack of a tail), but they are not regarded as true apes.

Except for gorillas and humans, all true apes are agile climbers of trees. They are best described as omnivorous, their diet consisting of fruit, including grass seeds, and in most cases other animals, either hunted or scavenged, along with anything else available and easily digested. They are native to Africa and Asia, although humans have spread to all parts of the world. A group of apes is called a shrewdness.
