Aka "that Surreal Humor YouTube channel that involves improbable uses of military hardware."Bosnian Ape Society is a YouTube channel focused mainly on Surreal Humor. While there are a few videos involving live-action footage, most of the channel's content involves rendered CGI, and mostly (and most famously) involves the use of military hardware in incredibly improbable situations for equally improbable purposes.

Gone Horribly Right: "How to Defend Against Home Invasion Using Sweet Baby Ray's" ends with the viewer eradicating an invasion of evil beans by transforming into a living beam of nuclear hellfire.

The Virus: The Shredded Cheese Man will hunt his prey across the world. All avoiding him for long enough does is make the target so unearthly that before they realize it they've become another Shredded Cheese Man with the ability to assimilate others as well.

Awesome, but Impractical: There are a few drawbacks and practical limitations to mounting a massive CIWS gatling gun turret on your car, like being unable to drive it under bridges or to park it in your garage.

Sophisticated as Hell: Part of the series' humor comes from the very technical language used to describe comical situations in a serious way, with a few sarcastic comments tossed in at times.

No Kill like Overkill: Considering the channel's habit of involving military hardware in mundane situations, this is inevitable. The Tennison Gambit Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Variation in particular involves using a intercontinental ballistic missile to win a chess game.

 Bosnian Ape Society (Web Video) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Many of the videos instruct the viewer to defend themselves against something with nonsensical combinations of military hardware. The usual punchline is the contraption failing spectacularly, if the viewer doesn't get arrested first for even attempting to use it.

Surreal Horror: Mailboxes are alive and conspiring against mankind. An entity perceived as a stone bust of Sigmund Freud comes out of fridges to possess people. And worst of all, somebody is coming to touch your computer and there's nothing you can do to prevent it.

Eldritch Abomination
 Bosnian Ape Society (Web Video) / int_8774fb47
comment
Eldritch Abomination: Played for laughs with the Computer Toucher and The Shredded Cheese Man, though one is much more genuinely threatening than the other. The Computer Toucher literally just touches your computers and leaves, explicitly stating that he won't touch anything else or alter the computer in any way. The Shredded Cheese man, however, will tempt potential victims into their refrigerators with the promise of giving them shredded cheese and then traps them in what looks like The Backrooms when he succeeds... And also commits tax fraud if you look away from the refrigerator.

Protagonist Journey to Villain: "The Shredded Cheese Man" has the protagonist live in hiding to avoid the Shredded Cheese Man, hopping from one location to another so as not to be found. However they begin to enjoy the freedom and independence this life grants them and seek to lure other people into this life by using the Shredded Cheese Man's methods. The video ends with "you are now the Shredded Cheese Man"

Epic Fail: A bike equipped with state-of-the-art surveillance devices is just snatched away by a van. A heavily armed shopping cart causes the owner to be fined before it can even be tested against arsonist attacks. A baguette HESH bomb does not stick to a Leclerc tank no matter how French it is.

Bait-and-Switch Comment: The narrator of "Can a Modern Main Battle Tank Defend Against a Baguette?" comes up with the solution of shooting a tank with a HESH explosive but admits few people would have that just lying around. So then he instructs the viewer to build one with the components they do have lying around and use a baguette as an improvised shell before shooting it out of a cannon they happen to have in their basement.

Nothing Is Scarier: A few videos on the channel simply show a peaceful real-life landscape with no people for a few minutes, but "You are in a field" is given a ominous description: "The Computer Toucher" is a declaration by an unseen entity who'll visit you in order to do just that, with vague threats that both you and him will "scream" if you dare look at him or interfere with him in any way.

Orwellian Retcon: Several videos in the channel were either deleted or replaced with a revised version. The "Enzo Ferrari’s Who Asked Radar" video originally ended with the narrator triumphantly describing how the radar can help the viewer win any discussion. It was replaced with a version where the voice of Henry Ford hijacks the narrator to proclaim that "nobody asked", and then this version of the story was deleted from the channel as well.

Comically Missing the Point: Turning a shopping cart into a turret with anti-rocket measures unfortunately makes it impractical for manual propulsion, so the obvious solution is to jam an engine into it.
