That was a popular theory, but it is actually based on a Chinese book and it was filmed in China too (with Japanese actors and for Japanese telly of course) so I doubt the Chinese would smile on a piss-take. Especially back then.
The book (Journey to the West) is a bit of a classic I hear and both Chinese and Japanese TV occasionally do modern versions with varying levels of seriousness.
I think that many people greatly over-thought what was essentially just a daft TV show.
thing is there is definitely a strong Buddhist motivation behind it - there was once or twice watching it when I wondered if it was the equivalent of loony bin evangelical christian telly, but with the saving grace of being buddhist - but I also realised clearly that they had firmly in mind that it was ultimately a kids show, so yeah, probably over analysed by adults - i think the violent 'kung fu' like nature of it and the brutal comedy made a lot of people take it as more general, but I think in Japan kids telly is probably a lot more violent anyway
I can still clearly remember being a kid and seeing the bit where he pisses on Buddha's fingers. I was an instant fan. Even if I could never figure out why half the blokes were played by women!
It must have been hell growing up in a country which did not know how to summon a cloud. Every bloke my age once had an imaginary huge stick hidden in their ear. A lot of women too.
Beards!

ha ha yeah that episode is one one of the tapes I have
I wonder how many people have garden rake injuries as a result? I know it was always a disappointment for the one who had to be Pigsy but they at least got to swing a rake around

Dudes I went from page one directly to page 6 and can't for the life of me figure out how this thread went from beard advice to garden rakes. Sounds painful.
My advice is whenever someone asks you a question you have no clue how to answer, just stroke the beard. Works every time.

". !!! classic.

uncanny resemblance!
actually it's kinda weird the background yellow is the same and even the crop angle. I demand that you start a band with a monk and a fishmonster and get up to all kinds of crazy escapades.
:D:D
this is fucking gold!!!

I hate shaving also, so I generally rock the "Geaorge Michael" and use a beard trimmer on it's lowest setting every few days.
