Rise Of The Ape Memes - 20 Ape-solutely Hilarious Primate Memes And Videos That Deserve A Banana Or Five

Science will say that we humans evolved to be the smartest ape species, but we would argue that the wild hairy primates got the better end of the stick…they don't have to go to work five times a week! For us hoomans, Monday means we are back in the office with zero monkey-ing around, but who are we kidding, when our digital monkey best friends are around every day is a day to monkey around!

Perhaps we should do as the monkeys see and the monkeys do and scream at each other and throw our leftover banana peels around! Um, on second thought maybe we shouldn't throw banana peels around, we wouldn't want anyone slipping or thinking we're crazy. We guess, for now, we have to settle for going bananas with these primate memes.

It seems that regardless of species, even gorillas like pulling pranks every once in a while, and it seems that splashing each other is universal! If we were ever on a river tour boat we would feel honored to be pranked by a gorilla, those mighty animals could rip us apart if they wanted so we should be thankful they just want to mess with us!

This monkey clearly has more brain cells than us because while we use our lame legs to go down the stairs, this one is zooming down faster than we can say "bananas'. Clearly these apes are evolving, next thing we know they have enough brain power to entertain us with their cuteness while they steal from our pockets, oh wait, they already do that…
