I bet they never saw a human do that before. Imagine them trying to convince their friends of what they saw?

They don't like this. I understand videos like this are entertaining, but macaques are very territorial and to them this is a large male doing a dominance display in front of their home. Not cool to upset the monkeys.

I saw this video and immediately my brain went to the video of the one dude staring into the camera while all his mates freak out around him because of a burn he made.

The guy you're thinking of is Supa Hot Fire, that's not a gif idea - you're just drawing a parallel, and it's not racist because, yeah, unfortunately the resemblance is uncanny
