Zookeepers are
people with low intelligence who usually suffer from Notable examples are
people who laugh hysterically at terrible comedies,
people who shop for cars "by payment," Millennial women who make Evangelical TikToks, and Gen X women who give out unsolicited and dangerous medical advice on
FaceBook. In general, they exhibit the Dunning Kruger effect with their words and actions. They are typically overweight and dress in ironic t-shirts that say things like "Blessed" along with flip-flops. They usually have young children who scream on airplanes and can only be silenced with McDonald'
s fries. They typically sell MLM products until their friends and family have stopped talking to them. The term is derived from an episode of the popular web series Half in the Bag featuring the movie The Zookeeper. In this episode, the types of
people who enjoy terrible cookie-
cutter low-brow comedies are described. One example from The Zookeeper is when Kevin James'
s character takes a man in a gorilla suit and when the gorilla sees the sign, he says, "Shuuuut... uuuuup" and the audience howls with laughter "because they'
ve heard of TGI Friday'
s." These individuals lack so much awareness of themselves and what they witness that they laugh at product placements.
"How was the new Minions movie last night?"
"It was OK but it was hard to enjoy because the BO and breath of the
people around me were intolerable. They also screamed every time they saw a
Minion, so they screamed every 10 seconds for 90 minutes straight."
"Well, Minions fans are some of the biggest Zookeepers around. There'
s not much you can do but avoid them if you have the choice."
