About
Pakda Gya! also known as Guy Holding Monkey is an exploitable meme template popularized in India. The meme is used to represent people who have been "caught" doing something perceived to be worthy of shame or derision. The image originated from a copypasta prank on Facebook before it gained prominence as a meme template on Twitter.
Origin
The photo of a man holding up a monkey first began making rounds in February 2021 as part of a Fillipino copypasta bait-and-switch prank trend. The photo was posted with a caption that translates to "A monkey was caught in the city of Surigao after repeatedly pressing … See More," with the joke being that a person who presses the "see more" button with no result is a monkey.
The earliest known notable post making this joke was on February 8th, 2021 on the Facebook[1] page Surigao Islands, gathering over 300 likes and 2,800 shares (seen below). The joke was reposted for consecutive years in several languages.[2]
