A solid meme for a Friday afternoon: Stock footage of baboons doing human things, paired with silly one-liner captions. They talk on the phone, they throw their computers, they gaze dewy-eyed into the distance and softly smack their lips in resignation. I love these goddamn baboons, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

The stock videos in question come from Getty Images, which has an astoundingly rich library of anthropomorphized primate footage. It’s unclear what prompted people to start captioning and tweeting them, or when patient zero arrived, but this morning they suddenly became unavoidable on my timeline. A few of the best examples I’ve seen are below.

You get it. You get it! Good monkeys. Good meme.
