Wass dat right 🤣🤣🤣
It's not too far when they start dealing in drugs too
That is hysterical 🤣🤣🤣
2080 : monkey cartel
That escalated quickly..😊
This gives me ideas.
@@rahulchaudhary6740 me too
This happened to me in Indonesia (where I think the video was taken), had to buy snack food from some local kids to get my glasses back from the monkey. Interesting note: a symbiotic economic relationship between the local kids and the monkeys was beneficial to both.
scottabc72 I wonder why the monkeys didn’t steal the food from the kids
@@joela6895 The kids had the food safely stashed and knew how to deal with them but I think the monkeys were also smart enough to tell from peoples demeanor who was an easy target and who wasnt.
yups, it's taken in bali, indonesia.
I am from bali
A win win Situation between local Kids and Monkeys
And the monkeys not stealing snacks of the seller kids
This actually demonstrates an incredibly high level of intelligence and sentience. Amazing. 😂
They're primates just like us.
Darren starting with you
@moose boy wtf are u sayin?
@Omegafox23 here u go www.zmescience.com/research/how-scientists-tught-monkeys-the-concept-of-money-not-long-after-the-first-prostitute-monkey-appeared/
@Darren bc they trade stupid metal and plastic for food YES you seeam like an intelligent human beeing
i'll make you an offer you can't refuse
allnighter2011 quote reminded me of Godfather and I feel that's what the monkeys were thinking too 😂😂
Can you imagine trading with an animal LOL
lmaoo
they can climb up a tree or building in a blink of an eye good luck catching them.
allnighter2011 Hahaha
The jokes on them, I buy my sunglasses at the dollar store.
@ChattyPablo - Jokes on you, I never leave the house.
@ChattyPablo Because water glasses fall off my nose.
A1Skeptic then the joke’s on your eyes.
Jeff Byrnes - Jokes on you, I live underground with a family of blind mutant cave dwellers.
A1Skeptic I believe you.
Let's just understand the intelligence of these monkeys holding items as "ransom" in exchange for food
and then beat them with a stick ?
@@chlyon i would not . i heard Philippine jails are horrible
Galactic Space they were taught to do that
@@Ray2311us Who would've taught those monkeys to steal? They would have self-learnt it.
@@panda45925 It's a matter of conditioned behavior. This constant stealing of objects in exchange for food has become something that the macaques expect, not because it is a behavior that they would routinely perform in the wild, isolated from the presence of humans.
Monkey: “How dare you pay with a banana, human?!
Pay me 1 twinkie, and I’ll return your glasses.” 😅
The day they realize smartphones are far more important than a hat or sunglasses is the day they'll ransom for entire three course meals.
They already have😂
A few more years and they will know brand names from knockoffs 😂👀👊🏼
T😂😂 FUNNY!! I have one authentic Burberry, and two knock-offs! Imagine how that's going to play out!!😂
Loll
Hilarious reply, yet it might come true which I really hope not but monkeys are smart!
Still laughing, your posting has made my day, hahahhhaha!!!!
@bangmeister2012 lmao
“Of course monkeys don’t eat flip flops or sunglasses..” * *cuts to clip of monkey eating a flip flop* *
Ok.
That's a sign that the owner time is running
@@MM-hz4dc

I blame the parents for not bringing them up properly.
😂😂😂
Alan Heath haha loll
Maybe their fathers left them to government welfare when they were born
@Ollie Haze Oops, sorry for hurting your feeling... food stamp girl
true ./ we have the same in France, they are called Algerian, not sure if they are monkeys, but for sure, they behave the same .
Let's just say they have their own Wall Street...
Okay, soon I will steal peoples Iphones until they give me a pizza or a hamburger.
Or in your case, until they beat you up
Wonder if our barter system started this way? Who did WE steal from?
@White Walker "I had no idea this was a stolen phone. I bought it from what seemed like a reputable monkey."
You are not monkey
I had one steal my identity! He went on a shopping spree.
Maria C. He bought Apple products and was very very hangry when it arrived
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maria C. 🤤🤤🤤
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg lol hhh
This happen to me in Thailand almost 40 years ago. I was offering the monkey one peanut from the bag of peanuts I bought. I was holding the bag in one hand and the single peanut in the other outstretched hand. The monkey said, "f#ck that", and grabbed the whole bag. When I went after the monkey the rest of the monkeys seem to circle around me like a gang. I knew I was outnumbered.
LOL 😂
😂😂😂
i’d start stomping guts out
naahh i think you are just a pussy... lol
This is cute, terrifying, wonderful, horrible and ingenious all at the same time!
I wonder if over time they start to develop a sense of value. Like if any ever figured out they could get more for a phone than a flip-flop.
Lol...it all depends on the buyer
im sure if you give small banana, they wont give you item back lol.
Odds are they already figured that out.
Conga boys like conga toys, but Luo Dong say big probbre'
Snatching the sunglasses is hilarious 😂
“Often it’s the fair with the highest nutritional value”
Monkey avoids banana and accepts candy bar🤨
when it comes to survival, calories are king and a candy bar usually has far more calories than a banana.

No way!
Actually they're smarter than some people I know 😂😂😂😂😂
As a tourist, I would be disappointed if I WASN'T robbed by a monkey and had to trade my stuff back for a snack bar.
Monkey 🐵: “ listen up human, I have your glasses 🤓, you need them to see 👀 & I want something in return. I’m not asking for much, just a nutritious snack, got that. You give me a quality snack that’s to my liking & I’ll give you back your vision.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iliana Bejarano I would not be able to trade with these monkeys. Once they get my glasses I won't even be able to see where they went or where to throw the food 😂
Everyone gangsta
Till the Monkey gang pulls up on you
They don't even need a weapon for you to surrender.... Cause they got mad stealing skills 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is an extremely intelligent business model. Im going to invest in monkeys as soon as I can.
"hey man how was your trip ti Indonesia? wait where's your phone bro"
"A monkey stole it"
'what'
"long story man"
"u recist"
WHen I am at the lake fishing a couple of crows I am friendly with bring me pebbles and bottle caps and all sorts of "treasure" to trade me for some worms from bait bucket. They started out just trying to steal them, and when their plans, some of which were quite intricate, did not work, they changed tactics and started to bring stuff with them which they would leave for me ONLY if I offer them a worm first. Otherwise, they fly off and come back a few minutes later with another offering.
That is so cool, lol.🐦🐦
@@phyllisruthmick5391 Birds are really cool. The pelicans all line up waiting for me to catch fish. They know they'll get a feed. It is amazing how big a carp they can shove down their gullet.
I don't remember how many time they have stolen my slippers to get food from me. If i refuse to trade i get garbage instead of my slippers.
Hell yeah !! It happens in India. 😂
As a person in America this is one of the coolest and funniest things I’ve ever seen/ heard of! One day I would love to visit India and see the beautiful temples there!
@@VirgilG819 come to bali too! This video also took in bali
It just goes to show how intellegent they are in working out what to steal and how to exchange for something they really want ....... food
@ChattyPabloi put off my slippers outside my room and they come from no where, they just grab my slippers and run away like a marathon runner. 🤣😂
And how many time a person can refuse to trade. If i refuse to trade, i will fall in two situations. First one i have to stop wearing slippers or the second, i have to divert the lion share of my monthly expenses in slippers. 😉
@@VirgilG819 welcome 😊
So smart!!!!!
Maria Elena Cabrera I'll give the monkeys a fake bag of food
only dumb humans are "just" realizing that wild animals are actually smart.
Tra Dom well it's obvious they are as smart as you are.
The monkeys were TRAINED to take things for food...Trained by humans that sell the food, you idiot. A pigeon can be trained to do that.
Maria Elena Cabrera you know some people say ancient people evolved from stock already on the earth; ie monkeys, haha .
And of course,
"Monkeys are not responsible for damage.".
2:52 it’s so funny how he gets what he wants and throws the glasses like “be gone thot” 😂🤣😂🤣😃
"Natures extortionist" in its simplest form lol ... That's a hard knock life lol
Oh Jean, you are so cute!
Thank you lol I'm guessing you are too as well lol
Jean-Miguel F. Well, hmmm I don't want to say yes or no, I feel like I would sound full of myself.
Don't be, your one of a kind angelica... hey you never know! Someday we could meet on this beautiful planet we live in.
Jean-Miguel F. Oh shucks jean, you are making me blush, and blowing me away.
1:57 cool gangster hair style
Have you seen Teabag-prison break?
we have like those in Iraq, 325 of them ,we're keeping them in the parliament, those are better though, you get something back not just pure theft.
quality
I thought America fixed your country when they invaded. Oh well, failure is normal
We all have those pesky government monkeys on our back.
ari stot .In Iraq did not contain them and spieled in Iran . Let’s pray together Ari dear : May god removed this monkeys out of our Parliament , May god destroy the distractive nature of Islamic Religion and May God help Iraq people, and Iranian AAAAmin!
Does that mean after the Invasion your country are worsened?
Very smart and intelligent animals. They do what they have to do to survive. I love these monkies both long tail and pig tail.
That's brilliant. I think If I went there I would bring some old sunglasses just to test it out. And a pack of Twix. This seems like an interesting thing to try out.
And if they refuse the small offer, walk away.
i dont Think we should encourage this behaviour
@@dontsubscribetome3262
Good idea, lets discourage it instead. What's the plan?
A temple I went to one climbed up my leg to get a bottle of juice. They were running around wearing people's hats. One was playing with a doll that it must have taken from a pram. I even got into a tug of war with one that tried to steal my bag lol.
Yes, I too would love this potentially diseased animal to place its dirty little paws dangerously close to my delicate eyes so that I may personally experience this act of theft upon myself.*
HAHAHAH this is so great. The philosophers now need to categorize again the criminal category.
This has huge implications folks even though this may sound trivial.
Best documentary on Chicago produced in years.
"they never hurt their marks".. for now dude
Next you'll see them holding a gun up to the peoples heads and saying "gibe me food bish"
@@denkikaminari6584 :-)
They chew on, drop and scratch everything. I wouldn't want it back.
Blood Angel Right? Thst one pair was dropped from off a statue and bounced all the way down lol, clever little fuckers
George Albazy Do they steal people??! 😂
Yupp just let them steal a cell phone that explodes when you dial the number and when they take it let them have it.
Rockin Roll Oh no! That's horrible! They're just being curious and trying to get food. Maybe we owe them a phone or two for our brutal destruction of their habitat :(
Msticketmasterluke he was talking about he’s family lol
Bless their hearts!😇❤️
Narrator: "they're turning to a life of crime". Lol 👍👍👍 🤣🤣🤣
Thats how you know we shared a common ancestor
"Steal belonging to trade for food"
Sounds like the IRS
How can such a good clip be just 3 min long. We need a whole documentary guys
That's an amazing talent right there
HUSTLE
That WOULD be hot if I was traveling and one of those monkeys traded me a million dollar necklace for a piece of my sandwich.
Bali monkeys have had many years to perfect this art. Cheeky little buggers, they can also be super aggressive with babies around.
Makes sense: first they stole stuff at random and when it was something valuable, people would try to lure the monkey with food and get it to drop the item. After a couple of years, the monkeys learned that if you take this particular item, human will give you food. Unintentional basic animal training. It would probably work with many other animals -dogs, cows, crows.
It is probably way more complex than just basic training. Training is a learning process, but it is very deliberate and direct, which is guided only by the actions of the trainer. This, however, was also a learning process but one that required the animals to figure it out for themselves. They had a model of reality to make associations between actions and outcomes. There was no training, it was all learning. They learned that they can't destroy the objects, otherwise the trade becomes less frequent. They learned that they have to release the item after they get what they want. And most important of them all: New generations are learning from observing their parents doing it. With "basic animal training" you never rely on observation, you rely just on action plus reward.
You got it all figured out, except Cows will never do this 😂
@@sammiemakki9339 And you know this how?
@@astropgn comparing these monkeys to other monkeys of similar kinds to other countries (especially the ones in Cambodia).. it's clear that this thieving behaviour was trained by the locals to get tourists to buy food from them- to give to the monkeys. It's clear that this behaviour was instilled deliberately by humans.
Thank you! This really made my day! 😂🐒🐒🐒
I won’t be surprised that people themselves taught them such a barter because of their own stupidity
This is insane.
"Extortionist nature in its finest form"...otherwise known as blackmail lmao. 😂😭💜
thats not blackmail
I love these little guys
I dread the day when I see "Armed Monkeys Takeover UN Assembly" headline. That's when we'll know "Planet of the Apes" was a documentary.
Dread!? I am counting the days optimistically. I for one welcome our new simian overlords.
After watching WHO covering up human to human spread in early days of epidemics (because it was tipped by unrecognised Taiwan and CCP feelings had priority), I'd give those NEW monkeys a fair chance.
gunner74 , lol ㋛
@@useodyseeorbitchute9450 WHO is absolutely useless in this scenario. They actually had the guts to discourage countries from restricting travel, and look where that got us now. It almost seems as if some powers of the world actually wanted this thing to spread. There is absolutely no way the authorities were actually blind when even the commoners predicted the outreach of the outbreak the moment it began.
@@homelessrobot 😆😂
1:27 was the best part
Who would have thought that monkeys are the original hustlers!!!
It may seem cute and funny to us, but to them they’re not messing around and are dead serious about it lol.
I love macaques. I just absolutely LOVE them lol I have a bonnet macaque who is extremely polite, she is very loving and gentle. She never snatches food when you hand her some lol
I remember when I came for summer here one of those monkeys stole my phone, I gave it a ghost pepper and he gave me the phone back. And when he ate the ghost pepper he started to scream. I'm such a bad person >:)
lol.
Asú Jeremic wait, why were you carrying around ghost peppers in the first place? xD
Ru i bought them so i could try them that day
oh ahaha right place right time
MrAnimepredator i dont think they are that smart to remember him tho
Hilarious! They’re so intelligent and adorable.
man FUCK them monkeys
not like that tho
Monkeys have got it right.
No money, straight barter.
We could learn from them.
😜😂😂😂
They are so smart they understand what we value.. Very cool.. That is great intelligence as remarkable as ours.. And so it is...
When I was a about seven years old I was sitting in an airport eating a brownie and suddenly a Capuchin monkey dropped into my lap, grabbed it and ran back to his owner. Later that week the owner brought the monkey to my 2nd grade classroom for a presentation. I never got an apology.
poor things are so hungry and so smart to learn to barter.. so cute!
Furrybabys H call it cute after it fuckin steals your gucci sunglasses
How is that cute
dogs can eat them.
Crazey how smart these guys are
The way this was edited, these monkeys gansta af I'm laughing so hard. I'm also scared of them 😂
That's some serious monkey business going there
This the real jungle, hustlin’ monkeys😂

They will steal an Apple iPhone, to trade it for a banana. 👍 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Oscar Hectic They are not stupid and now the real value of an iPhone.
Me: what do you want to trade so I can get my glasses back?
Monkey: your soul
Me: what?
Monkey: *_you heard me_*
This is the most fascinating thing I have ever seen. The fact that these monkeys *know* what is valuable to us and wait for the humans to come and get it. Damn.
Thieving like pros! They’re so smart!
only natural law applies to animals. lol
Can't wait for monkey uplift. Imagine space monkey pirates
they're so cute and clever.....
Bet their parents are so proud of their little angels 😆🤣😂
2:03 “of course monkeys don’t eat flip flops...”
Seconds later proceeds to show monkey eating a flip flop
Lol!!!!
I lived nearby these similar groups of monkeys and they are so smart and are dicks about it. I wouldn't be surprise if they hold a infant hostages for a banana farm.
Smart little bastards. lol I can't help but love them.
Krass wie frech die Affen sind, irgendwie total süß wie sie sich verhalten! Und wie cool sie die Sachen stehlen, sie wollen den Menschen zeigen dass sie nicht dumm sind!
Welcome to Baltimore
Sounds like the Ring of THIEVES we have in Lewisville, Texas breaking into cars, stealing whatever they want... they're even stealing all four tires off of trucks like $3,200 worth..
.... no one seems to be able to catch them ...the police are doing their best but these people are highly organized.
Uluwatu, bali, indonesiaa!!

Indo my country :D
"Monkeys don't eat flip flips or sunglasses" .. Monkey proceeds to eat flip flop.

They live in a temple, but are they monks?
Monkey just drops the glasses like thanks for the food dummy. Now go fetch. :D
Man nature is just filled of wonders
that's how all trade started, from steeling xD
in all honesty, i thought it was man that invented "theft". i have changed my theory. it were the monkey's that taught the humans how to "steal" .
