Puppy Monkey Baby Memes Make The Ad More Bearable

No Super Bowl 50 commercial was more profoundly unsettling than Mountain Dew Kickstart's "Puppy Monkey Baby." And when the Internet gets its hands on something this creepy/scary/fascinating, there is only one thing to do: create Puppy Monkey Baby memes. So if you still can't decide if the song is a catchy tune that will be stuck in your head all day or a devious earworm that will haunt your nightmares, maybe use the Internet's best comedic offerings in order to help make up your mind. From despising the creature and wishing for its demise to turning it into a representation of every awkward or weird moment you go through in private, it seems that the real meaning of Puppy Monkey Baby is in the eye of the beholder.

It seems to be a trend that every year, a fake animal will take hold of the Internet's attention during the Super Bowl. Last year, that honor went to Left Shark during Katy Perry's halftime show, but during Super Bowl 50, Mountain Dew introduced the world to its latest meme fodder during the commercials. Even though it only graced our screens for about 30 seconds, Puppy Monkey Baby will not soon be forgotten (even by those who wish they could). The animal-human hybrid may be pretty terrifying, but at least some good old fashioned online humor can help to make sense of the nightmare that is the combination of a pug, capuchin monkey, and infant. And hey, maybe if we laugh at it enough, it'll be less scary.
