Listen up everyone, this new, beautiful gorilla meme has something to say

Thank you for coming to its TED Talk.

Gorilla memes are still hot, hot, hot, according to sweet internet trends.

It's been a one year since the internet got their memes out for Harambe, and it's still easy to find memorials to that ape. And just recently, the "Maniac" dancing gorilla has reminded us all about the power of movement.

Now, another gorilla meme is on the market. It's a chatty, sometimes smart, sometimes pensive gorilla that just wants you to lend it your ear.

Perhaps it's time to stop the memes when they become too meta and self-aware.
