About the Harambe meme template
This is the image, the one that launched a thousand tribute pages and a solid year of "dicks out" jokes. A massive gorilla looms protectively over a kid who's fallen into his enclosure, and somehow the internet turned real chaos into the most enduring meme format of the 2010s.
Use it for anything about a big, imposing presence hovering over something small and vulnerable, dramatic overreactions to minor mishaps, or straight-up nostalgia bait for anyone who remembers when this was the only meme that mattered.
