Never has a viral video so accurately summed up our emotions. And in less than 20 seconds! Will the Internet ever cease to amaze us? No. Will the people who troll the Internet ever cease to piss us off? Also, no.

So in this video, an adorable baby elephant (is there any other kind of baby elephant?), gets stuck while trying to climb out of a small ditch. He alllmost makes it, but then plop! Down he goes, falling on his cute lil' butt. He's flailing! He needs help!

Enter (presumably) the mama and two other adult elephants. They quickly rescue the struggling elephant by spinning him upright using their trunks and then they carry on their merry way, much to the delight of the crowd.

So, how does this video accurately sum up our current state of mind? Glad you asked:

This is us right now because it's been a long week and we're just done:
