"It's too long be be mahcock" probably one of the funniest jokes I've heard on this channel

[sagewilson]

“Warming up his noodle and she says ill take it al dente.” Clever asf

[ashlloy]

"Remember how your father went pit to get cigarettes and never came back" "yeah" "well go get cigarettes" sounds like it could be a super evil sick burn

[icetheirken]

"No; it's too long to be mahcock."
"Jerry don't do that. Leave Macaca where it was; don't play with it."

[vetda]

"Get these guys a deep fryer" "Sure, a few may fall in, but that's how I learned to swim"

I like how we named what’s basically the Macaque Einstein after potatoes

In 1972, over 100 Snow Monkeys were brought to a sanctuary in Texas. Somehow they adapted to the new environment and survived. Today there are over 600. One of the things that they came up with was an entirely new warning sound/cry for rattlesnake.

After all the stuff Potato discovered, I'm slightly surprised it didn't notice "If you leave a few grains in the dirt, it makes more grains" and invent macaque agriculture.

Is Jerry okay? He's making a lot of errors here

[albertamalachi]

Imo: _washes potatoes, creates condiments_
Researchers: "Interesting."

Imo: _uses water as a sieve and cleaning agent_
Researcher: "Innovative."

Imo: _creates stone tools_
Researchers: "Wait. Hold up."

Imo: _creates fire_
Researchers: "Uhm..."

Imo: _creates language, social stratification, and Macaque mythos_
Researchers: "Uh oh! What do we do? Oh! Let's give them a hot tub in winter!"

Imo: _chills in hot tub, stops inventing_
Researchers: "Phew! That was close."

Imo: _learns about thermodynamics, nuclear fusion, and dimensional probabilities while in the tub_
Researchers: "Oh no!"

"Marriage? But papa would never allow it. Elope? But what about the zombies?" That, was the moment I lost it. I think that was the funniest line since "give me a kernel of corn and lets play butt hole pachinko". I fuckin love these and have for years. I'm so glad you're making them again.

Is this the Artic Monkeys everyone's been talking about

[ayakoholic]

I was fortunate enough to vacation in Japan a few years ago, and up by Chuzenji Lake there were a lot of signs warning about aggressive macaques. Apparently they'd learned that people carried food in white plastic bags and occasionally attacked people carrying them. The sign concluded with the polite but rather ominous line in English, "Some troubles occurred in this area."

[DawnfireGalinndan]

Okay but using salt-water to season your potatoes is kinda cool.

[micah]

"Its too long to be macaque"

That is a most brilliant subtle joke ive ever heard

[dandazed]

10 seconds in and we already have a shlong joke. Magnificent, Mr. Frank.

[ghostophelia]

... I thought for a second that he was going to say that they planted the grains and began a tradition of farming lol

[lenap]

"I'd like you to get some cigerette now"

Lmao

[Turn.Colors]

"Look up a picture of a dictionary inside of a moron and you'll find me." That is the most elegantly brutal burn I have ever received and it wasn't even meant for me. Well done.

I forgot about this channel and searched “sarcastic animal commentator” and found the channel i wanted
