This monkey getting a haircut can be Photoshopped into any situation — and people are obsessed with it

The INSIDER Summary:

• An image of a monkey getting a haircut is oddly adaptable.
• It's originally from a video that was first posted in February.
• It's at the center of a new meme where people Photoshop it into every situation imaginable.

Some images are just begging to be Photoshopped. Take the image above, for example, of a monkey getting a haircut.

It's a still image that's made the viral rounds on the web in the past couple of days after resurfacing from a video originally posted in February on a Chinese entertainment site.

It has several elements that make it irresistible. One, there is a small monkey getting a haircut. Two, there are two hands extending over its head, wielding the shearing tools.

The possibilities are endless. And so people on the internet have taken it upon themselves to photoshop the photo into different images, so that different people appear to be giving the monkey a haircut.

Some memes take an extra step, showing what's happening under the barber's apron.

In the end, all memes go meta. It might just be monkeys all the way down.
