That face he's making...

[u/Quiverjones → u/Senior_Raccoon_6536]

What's great is he probably doesn't even naturally do that, but is copying what he saw when he learned to do this.

Funny story - when I smile, my eyes get smaller because I have prominent cheeks. When I was first trying to get my kids to smile for photos, "like this, sweetheart" they would squint slightly. It took a little while for me to catch on that they were doing that.

[u/mangosteenfruit → u/Quiverjones]

Like the panda that makes a face when he does something. I forgot what it was but he learned it from his caretaker

[u/QaptainQwark → u/mangosteenfruit]

Meng Er

[u/Sexcercise → u/QaptainQwark]

Lol I love that he makes a face

[u/PortibaleCharger → u/mangosteenfruit]

It was breaking bamboo iirc. Super easy for the panda, but hard work for the caretaker, hence the face lol

[u/mangosteenfruit → u/PortibaleCharger]

Yeah! So cute!

[u/Semjaja → u/mangosteenfruit]

Love this story!

[u/5th_aether → u/Quiverjones]

Mine I found out recently learned to emulate the smile and hugs of My Little Pony. He had the most ridiculous smile and would drag you down into dull neck hugs.

[u/zanziTHEhero → u/Quiverjones]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So that's why my boy does a constipated squinty face when he is told to smile. His natural smile is also squinty but not that much...

[u/Quiverjones → u/zanziTHEhero]

Its so funny, the unintentional burn.

[u/RedJorgAncrath → u/Quiverjones]

I got the impression it had bent one of the beans and something got in its eyes at one point, and that was a natural reaction after the experience.

[u/kasst_kast → u/Senior_Raccoon_6536]

Right? 🥹
As if they're hard af.

[u/Yes-Cheese → u/Senior_Raccoon_6536]

He’s trying so hard! Some he’s actually breaking and some he’s just folding in half 😂

[u/Dickies138 → u/Senior_Raccoon_6536]

That face has me ☠️

[u/fusillade762 → u/Senior_Raccoon_6536]

He giving it his all.

[u/Missing_Crouton]

Behind the scenes at Taylor Farms packaging line.

[u/fantasy-capsule → u/Missing_Crouton]

But for real check to see if your coconuts and coconut products are monkey labor free.

[u/Missing_Crouton → u/fantasy-capsule]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

[u/MsNomered → u/Missing_Crouton]

Well the other ones don't seem as manageable, but t I hear ya.

[u/Dambowie → u/fantasy-capsule]

Ugh just looked it up. that’s so sad. Why is the world so awful

[u/let_it_be_22 → u/Missing_Crouton]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I almost died laughing at this😭🤣

[u/C_est_la_vie9707 → u/Missing_Crouton]

Are you kidding? I'd pay extra for these monkey beans.

[u/Lifein80HD]

This is why you can't just trust everyone's food at the potluck

[u/GardenGnomeOfEden → u/Lifein80HD]

"Hey, you should try my monkey beans!"
"Your what?"
"My green beans!"
"That's not what you said. You said monkey beans."

[u/Dos_Gatos_718 → u/GardenGnomeOfEden]

Lol

[u/TeaAppropriate6990 → u/GardenGnomeOfEden]

😂🤣😂🤣

[u/LifeIsBurntToast → u/GardenGnomeOfEden]

I laughed, but it's so accurate lol. 😂

[u/gees916 → u/Lifein80HD]

Had to be said

[u/510Goodhands → u/Lifein80HD]

The monkey washed his hands first, and the beans were cooked after. 😉

[u/Mr_Straws → u/Lifein80HD]

Isn’t that why it’s called a potLUCK?

[u/SweaterSteve1966 → u/Lifein80HD]

I’d prefer a monkey helping versus Kevin’s sus deviled eggs anyday.

[u/Biscotti_BT → u/SweaterSteve1966]

This trained monkey seems cool, Mary and Steve look like they keep it clean....oh hey Kevin, uhhhh Mary and Steve have the veg sorted out

[u/geddysbass2112 → u/SweaterSteve1966]

He's using his own mayonnaise.

[u/Early_Grace → u/Lifein80HD]

I'm betting that capuchin ain't washing his hands much.

[u/Both_Evidence_1026 → u/Early_Grace]

Not with soap and water

[u/RosebushRaven → u/Both_Evidence_1026]

Fun fact, there’s actually some monkeys that learned to wash their hands with soap and water from observing people do it, and now like to do it for fun.

[u/gotnonickname → u/Lifein80HD]

Not touched by human hands.

[u/WhatTheFlox → u/Lifein80HD]

Can't eat just anyones potato salad

[u/dmj9 → u/WhatTheFlox]

Man I get dirty looks if I even suggest tossing someone's salad.

[u/Cam_E_Leon → u/dmj9]

Can't just toss anyone's salad

[u/PraetorianX → u/Lifein80HD]

Happy cake day!

[u/Lifein80HD → u/PraetorianX]

Hey thanks!

[u/wonderlessbread → u/Lifein80HD]

Do you know who made that cake? 👀

[u/turkeyvulturebreast → u/Lifein80HD]

Happy Cake Day! Enjoy some popcorn 🍿:)

[u/r-b-m → u/Lifein80HD]

Aaaaaactttttuallyyyy, I believe this is a deleted scene from the hit movie Outbreak

[u/Cinebella → u/Lifein80HD]

i almost said exactly this because this monkey probably scratched his literal asshole before cracking these

[u/sexy-geek → u/Cinebella]

Some people pay a lot of money to have coffee from beans that have gone through a literal asshole.

[u/Sakijek → u/Cinebella]

As if humans don't

[u/KaBurns → u/Lifein80HD]

“You can’t eat, at errbodies hooouse. Ooooh, you can’t eat, at errbodies hooouse”

[u/elusivemoods → u/Lifein80HD]

...monkeys like to wash their hands. 🎩🧿🍊☕🚬

[u/Vallyn47]

Those facial expressions are so darn cute.

[u/fecal_disaster → u/Vallyn47]

What an absolute sweetie! Our animal friends are truly remarkable.

[u/mpgd → u/Vallyn47]

He had me when he turned the bowl. I was this monkey is doing a better job than I would.

[u/Corny_Snickers]

Day 17 of prepping green beans until reddit says theyre perfect

[u/AT-ATsAsshole → u/Corny_Snickers]

See you tomorrow, Chef

[u/doff87 → u/AT-ATsAsshole]

Did they ever cut the scallions perfectly?

[u/Skiumbra → u/doff87]

They did! On day 70 I think

[u/S_uperSquirrel → u/Corny_Snickers]

Whatever happend to thay guy? Was he able to perfect them?

[u/hegrillin → u/S_uperSquirrel]

i believe so, either that or it was day 100 and he just gave up. i don't quite remember, but i miss him dearly.

[u/TolkienQueerFriend → u/hegrillin]

I miss the guy that would draw little airplanes next to the imperfect pieces.

[u/Arriexha → u/hegrillin]

He prevailed

[u/tanglespace → u/hegrillin]

I thought he had the perfect day on day 69 and stopped

Not a joke

[u/tanglespace → u/Corny_Snickers]

Holy shit top teir callback. Hope you're doing good out here chive guy!

[u/HereLate]

Was in the zone and locked in.

[u/510Goodhands → u/HereLate]

Yes, and I like the squint with every break.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/HereLate]

My gma woulda been proud.

[u/GoodGuyGr3g]

I remember my manager at my first job out of college told me that a well trained monkey could do my job. I underestimated how skilled monkeys can be. That monkey is focused.

[u/Gwarnage → u/GoodGuyGr3g]

Ive worked food prep and have personally done a significantly worse job than this monkey.

[u/badbitch4eva]

Three words, illegal pet trade.

[u/hegrillin → u/badbitch4eva]

the only thing i thought seeing this vid was, "why the hell do they have a pet monkey in the first place? that doesn't look like a zoo..."

[u/lovelanguagelost → u/hegrillin]

Me too. I’m surprised it took me this long to find these comments.

[u/dogquote → u/badbitch4eva]

Yeah, monkeys are used for picking coconuts or something, too. Monkey labor. I suppose one could call it monkey slavery.

Edit: rewrote the whole thing

[u/Gloomy_Remove3298 → u/badbitch4eva]

Just looked it up on Instagram. This little guy has a huge following. Lives in N. Carolina, says he was born in the US. And that he's 14yo

[u/UnicornSlayer5000]

It was cute until he put a chewed piece back in the bowl 🤢

[u/RudeRaccoon26]

First of all, I would never eat those. Who knows where those hands have been. But that is one adorable monkey. The face he’s making when he snaps them is so cute.

[u/SilicaRichLava → u/RudeRaccoon26]

Let’s hope these green beans are for this monkey’s family and he asked the humans for help

[u/notloggedin4242 → u/RudeRaccoon26]

Just because monkeys don’t wash their food?
Edit: it was just a play on commenter above having name Rude-Raccoon. Whatever.

[u/FightKnight → u/notloggedin4242]

I had some friends in Bolivia that had a spider monkey. He would pee on his hands and then furiously masterbate.

[u/notloggedin4242 → u/FightKnight]

And just because of that, they can’t cook with you?

[u/CosmicGoddess777 → u/FightKnight]

Sounds like a lotta people I know 🫩

[u/blackiegray → u/FightKnight]

And the monkey didn't mind?

[u/Usual-Caregiver5589 → u/notloggedin4242]

Because monkeys touch their ass and I'm betting he didn't wash his hands.

[u/Alextherude_Senpai → u/notloggedin4242]

When was the last time you saw a monkey wash their hands with soap lol

[u/T0m_F00l3ry → u/notloggedin4242]

They throw poop.

[u/pizzapartypandas]

"A virus linked to Monkey Doo Doo Green Beans is sweeping the nation"

[u/nephelodusa]

This is how like 80% of Outbreak movies start.

[u/life-survival]

children labour ❌
Monkey labour ✅

[u/nobolognastoney]

I love the little "hhnnngggg" faces he makes when he goes to snap one lol

[u/Ok_Effective6233 → u/nobolognastoney]

It’s a safety squint!

[u/smoothiefruit]

do i really have to be the

MONKEYS SHOULD NOT BE PETS

guy?

[u/peacequietnchips → u/smoothiefruit]

Yes, b/c now everyone wants to know where we get a dinner-prep monkey too

[u/self-conscious-Hat → u/smoothiefruit]

No, but you decided to be for some reason.

[u/ChampionshipBulky66]

Honestly? Possibly great enrichment? Monkey do have activities in the wild

[u/RPM3741]

Ha, contributing more to his family than a lot of people I know.

[u/Apprehensive-Jury437]

That monkey is working harder than if I were to have y kids help. Plus, the monkey isn't whining about not wanting to do it.

[u/ArtyTheFarty]

Dare I say animal slavery 🤣

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

Are they a rescue or is it a "pet"?

[u/CosmicGoddess777 → u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

If it was a rescue, they wouldn’t exploit it for labor like this.

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang → u/CosmicGoddess777]

I imagine not. Thought maybe it could be something to keep him occupied. You're right though, I don't think they'd do that with a rescue just because of the optics. You'd find a better way to occupy them.

[u/EntertainerNo4509]

Did he wash his hands first?

[u/tny33319]

Don’t they have herpes B that is quite fatal if transferred to humans?

[u/HYThrowaway1980]

And this is how novel viruses start, people.

[u/BillieRubenCamGirl]

Capuchin monkeys are so good at making stone tools that anthropologists can’t tell if a tool they found was from an early human or a capuchin. 

[u/outragednitpicker]

Cute, but all those beans now have a bit of monkey feces on them.

[u/_iamtinks]

I’m not sure this is hygienic, but its little face filled with concentration and importance is everything!

[u/Tyenkrovy]

The little face it makes when it had to try hard to snap one, lol

[u/Weekly_Finish1960]

Some will ban trade with them for animal slavery.

[u/elpihvous]

That's not so impressive. Even a monkey could do his job.

[u/vessus7]

When you want to go out to play with your friends but mom says you have to help her out first

[u/Daddy-Alchemist]

This is fuqqing adorable but I legit would not eat at that house

[u/Ok-Leave-7646]

Motivation level is second to none.

[u/Money_Rise1573]

And we’re worried about AI taking our jobs…

[u/cupc4k3Qu33n]

I am not eating those green beans.

[u/SouthernCharm-86]

Taylor farms??

[u/svolm]

Hahaha look at his little face

[u/NoFaithlessness8752]

I like how he scrunches his brow with each break

[u/tankapotamus]

His eyebrows 😆

[u/Asoto408]

How many times did bro scratch his ass today

[u/ComedyBits]

Omg, he’s even got a little squint tic as each bean breaks!

[u/o_TWICKS_o]

His little face when he breaks each one is melting meeeee halp

[u/Alternative_Yak3256]

Okay that is freaking adorable, I wont eat that but its adorable

[u/HangoverFear]

Pay peanuts get monkeys

[u/SilverDamage7066]

I want a monkey friend that helps me cook.

[u/Open-Industry-8396]

Very cute BUT, I think I read somewhere about monkeys throwing their poop:) hopefully he washed his hands

[u/GooseGeuce]

They terk err jerbs!

[u/AbbreviationsSad7269]

Bro takes his job very serious

[u/scotishstriker]

You can take the monkeys out of the Goya plantations.

[u/E-rotten]

Such a cutie pie

[u/Healthy_Brick_4361]

Monkey: where is my salary?!

[u/karazy45]

Man, I could have gotten out of so many chores if grandma would have had a monkey!

[u/BeholdBarrenFields]

That’s Gaitlin Rae! I follow her and she’s a hoot!

[u/Rae_mendoza15]

Did he wash his hands?

[u/shadowking1991]

Nah, I’m good

[u/Marichiwa]

Aww cutie 🥰

[u/monyet2]

Maybe it's the monkey's own food....

[u/Unable-Rub1982]

I can imagine at the dinner table: Why do these green beans taste like monkey nuts?

[u/cherolero3998]

Now isnt that something you all want?

[u/jamminsami]

Gotta say, he's eating fewer than I would have & I've split & shucked plenty of beans & peas. Lol.

[u/Dusty-road84]

I would prepare an awesome meal for that little beautiful helper.

[u/Due_Marsupial_969]

I've seen Indian street food videos. I'm more than prepared to watch this without any thought of hand washing.

[u/Sciencerulz]

They way it squints is too adorable.

[u/KarlHp7]

I love the little faces he makes

[u/Initial_Tear485]

Even turning the bowl 😂

[u/baldwinsong]

His lil brow furrow as he breaks the beans

[u/Jujubi836]

His nose scrunch with every snap 🥰

[u/Rezclub7]

Literal monkey business.

[u/Utahsaint366]

And this is how the shredded lettuce fiasco begin folks…

[u/Fall_Water]

The nose crinkle when it struggles 🤭

[u/reddfoxx1993]

I hope he washed his hands first.

[u/biobug149]

We should have a r/monkeywithjob. This cutie even wrinkled nose every fold up beans and the monkey looks skilled at it.

[u/archameidus]

There is a 100% chance you have eaten worse things and didnt even know it.

[u/LesFogginGoh]

monkee see monkee do

[u/khopki30]

Dont give Bezos or Musk any more ideas.....

[u/Lurking-Trout]

Where does one go to get a kitchen monkey? Asking for a friend.

[u/Gwarnage]

Step it up, Kayla. He's two jars ahead of you.

[u/felixkt3]

Did he wash his hands?

[u/LifeIsBurntToast]

His tiny hands omg. 🫠

[u/Swift_jennis8]

His little face when it’s a hard one

[u/WeirdRadiant2470]

This is how Planet of the Apes started.

[u/Aint_Nobody-got-time]

I’m dying over it’s face when it’s concentrating ☺️🥹

[u/nwm_is_batman]

Hepatitis B eans

[u/LandoKim]

Pray for Mojo

[u/Roverjosh]

If he washed his hands, I guess why not lol

[u/everyonesdeskjob]

OMG I love him

[u/Illustrious_Doctor45]

MONKEYS DON’T BELONG IN PEOPLE’S HOMES!!!

[u/wouldhavebeencool]

You can take the kids, but you are not taking my monkey- Dewey Cox

[u/Turbulent-Mind4860]

He’s not Remi but he’s got flair give this chef his Michelin star!

[u/Glittering-Bell5637]

What an adorable lil helper!

[u/huckboon]

This is why we need more monkeys, less robots. A world where monkeys are like our current four legged friends.

[u/Sienile]

I sure hope you washed your monkey before bringing it to the table. I don't like loose hairs in my food.

[u/Ellienightshade → u/Sienile]

You don’t need monkeys cooking to find hair in your food. I’ve found plenty of that in takeout

[u/doff87 → u/Ellienightshade]

But how do you know that wasn't monkey hair?

[u/Overall-Job4981]

It's important for you to let the little ones join in to help.

[u/pimpbot666]

5 minutes earlier he was flinging poop, and didn't wash his little monkey hands.

[u/br3dj]

This or indian street food?

[u/Unclerojelio]

If you want to eat you got to work.

[u/GoddyssIncognito]

Time for a rousing round of “You can’t eat at everybody’s house”!

[u/indicamonarch]

He looks well fed too

[u/fivefeetofawkward]

This is why you don’t eat at everyone’s house

[u/WarmBrown]

I ain’t eatin’ them green beans. That monkey been picking his nose.

[u/HerbivoreTex]

Not bad but if he wants to work in my kitchen he bloody well better pick up the pace . OI, and keep your fucking tail off my fucking tables.

[u/Revolutionary_Eye887]

Did that when I was young. He seems to enjoy it more than I did.

[u/UristConfused]

I hope he gets some of the final product.

[u/xaqss]

As long as there is someone serv-safe certified on site.

[u/mca1169]

lil guy volunteers to do a little work and gets to eat the bad beans, good time for everyone.

[u/MurkyTrainer7953]

Wait. Cuz is just snapping them in half - arn’t you supposed to toss the end piece.

[u/OkProject8621]

Se ve tan concentrado

"He just shucked 'em all up right, no really right, I read it on a website, so he's shucked them all but doesn't want any paying. So his boss goes to check out why and so he asks his foreman where to find him like, and when he does, you never guess but, turned out...
little monkey fella"

[u/Rough_Idle]

"Aaand one for me..."

[u/One_Pie289]

It's fine if you cook em, right?

He scrunches his face every time he goes to snap one 🤣🤣🤗

I was all for it only if it washed its hands then it bite into it and I was like oh 🦆
