This video falls on the spectrum somewhere between “hilarious” and “heart-wrenchingly depressing”. In it, a monkey tries to convince a zoogoer to release him from his holding area in the Welsh Mountain Zoo.

So this is a tough call: Do you release the monkey and fear him dominating the world in some Planet of the Apes scenario? OR do you not open his cage and risk someone else letting him out, only for the monkey to remember you laughing at him and going out of his way to seek revenge on you? Frankly, I’d go with door #1. When the monkeys finally rise up, I want to be on their side. I also enjoy the occasional banana, both for its flavor and its richness in potassium.
