Maybe the joke was, they are the ones that seems closest to the homo species but are still apes?
Though I think there are other apes that are genetically closer to homo sapiens.
This showerthought looked queerphobic to me before I came to the conclusion about its possible meaning. It’s still seems - maybe unconsciously - insensitive to me.

That sentence makes no sense. Chimps and humans are both apes.

Not only are chimps the closest relative to humans, but humans are the closest relative to chimps.

I don’t know what op meant by their post, but i must say that chimpanzees and bonobos are indeed the most closely related apes to humans.
