About

We Taught This Chimpanzee and He Hanged Himself is an exploitable meme format based on a story by the satirical news site The Hard Times, titled "We Taught This Chimpanzee to Understand the American Political System and He Hanged Himself." The article was published in October 2020 and spread online over the following years. In 2025, the article's thumbnail and headline became the increasing subject of meme edits and redraws, in which the caption and the chimpanzee are replaced to reference another subject.
