Why do we love memes so much? Probably because we find them relatable. That's why they're so funny, we see ourselves in them, and that's why it creates this comedic effect. But there's something more about animal memes. When it comes to animal memes, they're somehow still relatable despite not being human at all. Some special animal memes are even funnier than any "regular" meme out there. And it helps, of course, that they're full of many cute and funny animals, which is always a great bonus to have - whether in memes or in real life.

But sometimes you want the balance, some funny singularity point where all the relatability and funnies are emerging from, and therefore are balanced. This is where monkey memes come in. Monkeys and apes are really our closest animal relatives, so their sort-of-human but actually-not appearance keeps this balance. We gathered some funny monkey memes for this intended purpose. They're the exact balance of funny and relatable, and definitely put the "fun" in funkt monkey business.

That one friend you can always trust. Even if your friend is a bit of an ape… that's okay, you're good friends anyway. It doesn't matter if they have some monkey business.
