'''Purple Monkey''' is the second video in the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]]. [[Bree]] introduces her [[helper]] to YouTube.

==Transcript==
'''Bree:''' Hi guys...umm, I was thinking about my last video and I thought that it was kind of drab and I watched it again, you know, hmm, whatever, so I have my [[hot pink feather boa|fabulous boa]] (''music: Victor - Son Soo (Treatment)'') which you might have seen. I always have it around my bedroom, oohh, tickles... Umm I can't believe I didn't bring out the purple monkey puppet. (''confidentially'') She doesn't like to know that she's a puppet, ssssh. [[Purple Monkey]]'s been around for awhile. She basically just helps me out (''repeated'') helps me out. You know she helps me out with, umm, sad times, (''still picture of a baby crying accompanied with the audio of a baby crying'') helps me out with anything that basically [[Daniel]] can't help with. He's a dork... and so am I.

(''sped up with audio'')

'''Bree:''' (''as Purple Monkey'') My name is Purple Puppet.

'''Bree:''' right… and where are you from?

'''Bree:''' (''as Purple Monkey'') Well, I’m from Texas, where else?

(''normal speed'')

'''Bree:''' It's a purple monkey; I think it speaks for itself, hmmm. Well, I hope you enjoy Purple Monkey, she enjoyed you, right?

'''Bree:''' (''as Purple Monkey'') Well, I certainly did.

'''Bree:''' See? Bye.

==Notes==
* This was the first blog where [[Purple Monkey]] is named.
* In early videos, [[Bree]] and [[Daniel]] often bantered with their fans via the comments section of YouTube. Some notable exchanges:
** [[Daniel]] leaves several comments on this video. Bree strongly denies that they are anything more than friends. She says she'll soon trick Daniel into being in one of her videos.
** Daniel says he uses Adobe Premier 6.5 to edit Bree's videos and that he is teaching her how to use it. He says Bree's camera is a [[Logitech QuickCam|Logitech Orbit MP]].
** There is much talk about Purple Monkey's gender. Bree is quite confident that P. Monkey is female. Eventually, she forgets.
** Bree mentions [[Owen]] by name, to a commenter who notices a turtle.
** Bree says that her parents' beliefs are the reason she's homeschooled, but does not elaborate.
** Several fans comment on Bree's unusual [[Breebrows|eyebrows]].

'''First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails''' is the first video in the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]]. After setting up her webcam, [[Bree]] starts her first video blog and introduces herself to us.

==Transcript==
'''Bree:''' Hi, guys. Um, so, this is my first video blog. Um, I've been watching for a while and I [[fan references|really like a lot of you guys on here]]. Um, I really like [[paytotheorderofofof2]]. You're really funny, and, um, your videos are always really interesting and you seem really nice. Um, then there's [[thewinekone]], or...just winekone? I'm not sure. You're totally retarded, but I like it. Well, I guess a video blog is about me. My name is Bree. I'm sixteen. Um, I don't really wanna tell you where I live...'cause, you could stalk me. (''Picture is frozen and audio of girl screaming is heard.'') Yeah. Um... well, what you need to know about my town is that it's really boring. Like, really, really boring. Really, really, really boring. Um, that's probably why I spend so much time on my computer. I'm a dork. Um, I really didn't have a plan for this video blog, but... I guess I'll just do this. (''"Crazy" by [[Gnarls Barkley]] plays. [[Bree]] makes funny faces, gets up and dances, etc.'') Okay, I hope you guys enjoyed that... um... bye! (''Continues funny facial gestures.'')

==Notes==
* The title of this video is a reference to a May 31st, 2006 video by popular YouTuber [[thewinekone]], entitled {{youtube|w-rcjaBWvx0|Hotness Prevails / Worst Video Ever}}.
* This video contains clips from "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley. It is not featured on [[Revver]], possibly due to copyright infringement issues. Viewers can still see it on [[YouTube]].
* When [[Jessica Lee Rose]] appeared on Jay Leno to reveal that lonelygirl15 was fictional, a clip from this video was used. According to Nielsen, Leno has around 6 million viewers a night, so in a sense this is the most viewed video of the entire series.
*In these early videos, Bree often responded to comments on YouTube. Some notable excerpts:
:* Almost immediately, there were doubts about Bree. A commenter named Kobashii asked:
<pre>
kobashii
16??? No you aren't. :)

lonelygirl15
hahaha yes i AM :P
</pre>
:* Bree claims that she lives in a small town.
:* [[Bukanator]] makes his first appearance, with the comment, "This is wonderful..."
:* A commenter identifies the picture on the back of Bree's wall as an Edward Hopper painting. The painting is "Second Story Sunlight." [http://www.mondomostre.it/images/newyork/cat_newyork_04.jpg]
* On the section where her hair is parted, Bree's head appears to be sunburnt.
