Three wise monkeys The three wise monkeys are a pictorial maxim that embody the proverbial principle " see no evil , hear no evil , speak no evil " . They consist of three monkeys , each in their own pose : one with their hands obscuring their eyes , one covering their ears , and a third with its hands clasped over its mouth . The imagery can be found in a number of paintings and sculptures dating back to 8th century China , and represent different cultural meanings . In Buddhist tradition , the tenets of the proverb are about not dwelling on evil thoughts , while in Western culture , the phrase and image refer to a lack of moral responsibility or feigning ignorance . Its endurance through the centuries has lent the phrase and its imagery to a number of references in art , sculpture , and music . More modern cultural depictions often involve characters from literature , movies , and television adopting the poses of the three monkeys . Notable examples can be found in the original 1968 " Planet of the Apes " , " Shrek " , Mel Brooks ' s " Robin Hood : Men in Tights " , " Gilligan ' s Island " , " Friends " , and " Doctor Who " .
