"We still talk about you"
Overview
The meme is a two-part collage: the upper section features an illustration of a prehistoric great ape hominid lying prone on grassy ground above a cross-section of soil. Printed over the soil cross-section is the text "We still talk about you", below which is a well-known photograph of Harambe the gorilla sitting on grass with a stoic, calm expression. The joke plays on the enduring, decades-long internet cultural legacy of Harambe, framing the gorilla as a beloved cultural figure that is still widely remembered and referenced by internet users years after his death, drawing a parallel to ancient ancestral species that are still talked about millennia later.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from an RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, posted to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the 2016 death of Harambe, the Cincinnati Zoo gorilla who became an extremely enduring, long-running internet meme subject that has remained a pop culture reference online for over a decade after his passing. The meme combines a popular underground message illustration format with the widely recognizable photo of Harambe.
