Chimpanzees: Dumber Than All Humans - Horrifying Planet - Ep. 2

Why do we revere the pathetic trifling of man's closest animal relative when a mentally devoid human could accomplish the same thing faster and better? It is one of nature's many inconsistencies.

All primates have brilliant minds, they know that the moment they start to talk they will have to pay taxes.

[alextedrow]

the "indeed, not only are humans capable of wiping out chimps ... they have even developed a system of ethics that justifies it" got me

[josemanrique]

I drive for a living and the best thing I make is pancakes what are you trying to say 🤨

[CogniVision]

"Not only are humans capable of wiping out chimps with inventions like bulldozers and dynamite. *They have even developed a system of ethics that justifies it*." - fucking brilliant. xD

Oh I don't know, I watched a documentary many years ago that proved that apes once ruled the earth. The apes could speak and ride horses and they captured and kept humans in cages! There was this astronaut guy, I forget what his name was, but he was captured by them and documented their existence while being held prisoner. While in captivity he met this rather dumb, mute blonde lady who was really quite sexy. Anyway, they escaped and rode off together on a horse. I read he eventually published his findings in the scientific journal: Nature. I think there's been other documentaries since showing the same thing. So that would mean apes are actually pretty smart so I wouldn't take this video too seriously.

"Further evidence that no sane god would have created this....Horrifying Planet."

I can't stop laughing!

1:07 seems like an inside joke on some Onion employee but i lol'd so hard

[pfunkle]

I am a chimpanzee who drives taxis for a living, and I find this video offensive

[BrutusFanboy]

>making pancakes and driving taxes, tasks left to the stupidest humans
heeeyyy

[oOoFukutubenotloggingmeoutoOo]

1 ounce of sarcasm and 1 ounce of reality and you end up with this

[Pyriphlegeton]

"Even the most intelligent chimpanzee is far less intelligent than the dumbest human"
Interestingly, that's not even true.

[phapnui]

The most accurate documentary I have ever seen. We need to get these kind of videos in the classroom at high school and university level.

[Piranha]

"... they have even developed a system of ethics that justify it..." wait, what? xD

[markmcculfor]

"This Hammer is an infinitely better tool than a stick, and it is not even that good relative to other tools" lolol

[chokajohn]

"...instead of finding shelter, and learning to read."
There goes my sides

[sealrk]

"swinging from tree to tree and picking mites off itself instead of teaching itself how to read" hahahaha

[michaelcarley]

Its amazing just how dissimilar to us they are.

[BaronVonMott]

"Further proof that no sane God designed this Horrifying Planet"

God damn, I love The Onion 😂😂😂

[elpistolero]

This is such a relief from constantly reading the opposite in every single animal video comment section! Makes me roll my eyes. Thank you for this!

[MrRadbadger]

Yet which species is driving itself to extinction for pieces of paper? Now that is a concept that is horrifying.
