Dave Itzkoff over on Twitter has a made a joke and it’s a good joke.


If you haven’t seen the Ikea Monkey recently then let us refresh your meme-weary memory.

And if you really want the full skinny, then this in-depth article from Vice is probably your friend:

It’s been three whole years since a tiny monkey, resplendent in a shearling coat, was found wandering around an Ikea car park in Canada and changed the internet forever. On the 9th of December 2012, Darwin the macaque became an instant celebrity as the Ikea Monkey: a primate who launched a million memes and reminded us, however momentarily, what it is to feel joy in this otherwise miserable world.
