The Daily Ape – Promoting Finland is Monkey Business

Tags: Uncategorized — Author:   @ 3:00 pm

Please note! In real life FISH DO NOT SING in Finland. If they do, immediately contact the Finnish Police, or your psychiatrist.

  • Dave the Revelator

    Maybe a two-year-old would be entertained by this.

    Maybe.

    Who in fuck paid the people who made this shit? Oh yeah. Probably me, the taxpayer. Money surely well spent.

    Jesus.

    You can add this entertainment to Nenä-Päivä event.
    This makes me remember the story of that guy who want to do something funny, in one Sunday morning, to make his girlfriend laugh, So he went to shit inside the microwave!

    So what food is Finland known for?

    This video was entertaining for a minute but I was left wondering what foods Finland was actually know for.

    “Myötähäpeä” is the word, i believe. I think this comes from the same ad agency that came up with the lottery win and Reilu Meininki™

    “So what food is Finland known for”

    You just had to ask around Easter time, didn’t you?

    I thought this can’t be right, then realized the monkeys were looking at the camera. Obviously if they were real Finns they’d be looking at each others feet.

    Then I thought more about customer service and decided to mail Helsinki Zoo,

    Using Monkeys in the ad is total bullshit, they don’t have any!

    “Sorry, but we don’t have here any chimpanzees or other apes. Same thing in other Finnish zoos, so you need to contact some other place.

    Best regards,

    Helsinki Zoo customer service”

    So what does that leave us with, the fish ? Bad case of Zoophilia?

  • Hank W.

    I thought they didn’t euthanize their red-arsed baboons but gave them jobs in politicians for the Vasemmistoliitto.

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    #8: Judging by recent news it has to be some other parties.

    Great vids.Someone asked what is the Food in Finland known for?Primarily it is a fish based diet,Meats include pork,reindeer,crayfish and pasha a dessert that is fantastic

  • Hmm

    I think pasha is a Russian dessert, not Finnish.

  • Hmm

    And it’s not a mainly fish based diet. I’m pretty sure that fish comes after beef, pork, and chicken. Reindeer meat is really good but it’s pricey and has a very strong flavor. It’s definitely not one main part of Finnish diet. Most people probably eat it only a couple times a year.
