The visual of the old guy looking absolutely desperate to share a thought while the gorilla just stares back with a look of pure, primal detachment is peak comedy. It is the ultimate reaction for when you are speaking logic, but the person on the other end is literally a primate who cannot comprehend basic human interaction.
