Best Of: TED Talk Gorilla Memes

If we've learned anything since 2016, it's that the internet loves gorillas (RIP Harambe). On June 22nd, the LAist Twitter account tweeted a 2014 photo of a gorilla that looks like it is giving a lecture to visitors at the Los Angeles Zoo. Twitter users started meme-ing the next day - touching on some very specific and unexpected topics such as General Custer, as well as the more obvious murder of Harambe.
