About the Monkey Puppet Meme
A puppet monkey from a Japanese TV show performs a quick, nervous sideways glance — looking away from the camera and then back with an expression that screams "I'm going to pretend I didn't just see/hear that." The puppet's eyes dart with a guilty, anxious energy. It's the face you make when someone says something painfully awkward and you don't know where to look.
From the Japanese children's show "Ōkiku Naru Ko." The puppet monkey's sideways glance became the universal reaction for that moment when you hear or see something awkward and your instinct is to pretend it didn't happen — but your face gives you away.
