Jon Stewart has been gleefully hating on Punch, the Ichikawa City Zoo monkey who found comfort in a stuffed toy after being abandoned, ever since the poor little guy first went viral.

In the Daily Show clip above, the host reacts to the news that Punch may have found himself a girlfriend, playing footage of the little monkey frolicking with a new companion before sharing his thoughts.

"Fantastic. It's really nice. Although, um...hey listen girl, straight talk. I know what you're thinking, but girl...you can't fix him," says Stewart, before addressing Punch with a whispered aside. "Punch, seriously, if you're watching, I am happy for you, but a little advice: Pre-nup."
