Gerhard Reinke's Wanderlust was a mockumentary television comedy broadcast on the American cable channel Comedy Central in Spring 2003. It starred writer-comedian Josh Gardner, appearing under the name, Gerhard Reinke, as a German backpacker with an idiosyncratic style, as he travels around the world on a small budget for the fictional documentary series.

Pepe Lucho is a minor yet memorable secondary character featured in the Comedy Central show Gerhard Reinke's Wanderlust.

Gerhard Reinke is initially smitten with the cute little monkey; however, slightly after the revelation of its name, Pepe Lucho begins attacking Gerhard and Amazonian villagers alike.

Through rather laughable cinematography (contributing to the memorability and popularity of this event), it is made to seem as if the diminutive New World monkey is a savage beast. Everyone runs in terror and several shots are fired in a vain attempt to stop the killing. However, several times throughout the episode, Pepe Lucho manages to catch up again to the protagonist, causing more terror.

At the end of the show, a memorial is shown: Pepe Lucho (1997–2002) "Keep chasing rainbows".
