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.
