After Little Punchy’s viral kiss with his girlfriend sent the internet into meltdown, a new clip has surfaced — and this time it has people laughing even harder at an unexpected moment.
In the newly circulating video, Punchy can be seen standing next to an older female monkey in the troop. Suddenly, the monkey leans in toward Punchy as if trying to steal a quick kiss, a moment that made viewers think another adorable interaction was about to happen.
But what happened next completely surprised everyone.
Just as the monkey moved closer, Punchy quickly tilted his head away, seemingly refusing the attempted kiss. The moment lasted only a few seconds, but it was enough for the internet to instantly give Punchy a new title: “the most loyal monkey on Monkey Mountain.”
The comments flooding the video were just as hilarious:
-
“Bro said: I already have a girlfriend.”
-
“Punchy rejecting other girls now.”
-
“He knows where his heart belongs.”
Many viewers joked that Punchy might be keeping his distance from other female monkeys after his sweet moment with his ‘girlfriend’ in the previous viral clip.
Of course, among macaques, behaviors like leaning in close or touching faces are usually just normal social interaction. But for the internet — especially those who have been following Punchy’s story — this moment feels like another episode in the life of the internet’s favorite baby monkey.
From a tiny monkey who was rejected by his mother and clung to a plush “Mama Doll” for comfort, Punchy has now grown into a little star who not only found his place in the troop, but is also starring in adorable moments that millions of people love watching.
And with this latest twist, the internet is joking that:
“Even in the macaque world… Punchy knows exactly where his heart belongs.”
