The 'Oh No Monkey' or 'Planet of the Apes' "Oh No!" Monkey meme features the character Bad Ape from the 2017 film 'War for the Planet of the Apes.' In this exploitable video meme template, Bad Ape is depicted frantically repeating the phrase "Oh no! Nono no no no!" The meme often serves as a humorous reaction to distressing or unfortunate scenarios. Since its inception, it has become especially popular in videos depicting ironic situations, such as those involving scenarios signaling imminent doom humorously highlighted by the arrival of Make-A-Wish volunteers.
The origin of the 'Oh No Monkey' meme dates back to July 12, 2017, when the official Planet of The Apes YouTube channel released a clip from 'War for the Planet of the Apes' titled "Bad Ape and Maurice." In the video, the character Bad Ape declines a request by uttering the line "Oh no! Nono no no no!" This clip provided the foundation for the meme template. On April 24, 2023, a green screen version of this specific scene was made available on the Creator Set website by Its3adwy, facilitating further spread and adaptation of this meme within creative communities online.
