I’ll tell ya how it feels. I don’t like it, that’s how it feels. I don’t like surprises. I don’t like these people jumping out and saying… I don’t even wanna hear what you’re saying! ’Cause you know what you’re saying to me? You’re saying “happy birthday” and you’re jumping out of the wall, and it’s scaring me to death, and it’s some kind of a big joke, and I’m supposed to be happy about that. “Oh, come on, be a good sport.” Well, who needs it?! Who needs surprises and pajamas? You want me to come to a party, you don’t kidnap me, you send me an invitation. Besides, I may have been happier where I was: sleeping. Happy birthday. Ha!

Patterns of identifying the actor with the character are disrupted in The Monkees because the character does not subsume the actor and the actor does not subsume the character. An unresolvable tension between fantasy and reality is created wherein we are left not knowing who the "real" Monkees are and who the "pretend" Monkees are. During many of the non-story segments, elements of the boys' personalities emerge that totally contradict what the audience knows about the characters the boys portray; Mike Nesmith's anti-authoritarian feelings and somewhat pompous avant-garde aesthetic, Micky Dolenz's thoughtful and articulate commentary, Peter Tork's intelligence and political awareness, and Davy Jones's wit and working-class background occasionally surface as contradictions to their on-screen personae.
