Agnes Harkness Winking meme template

Agnes Harkness Winking

Use this when the joke is "I'm pretending to be subtle about something that is extremely obvious" or "here's a fake-innocent statement with a huge nudge-nudge wink attached." It fits confessions, guilty self-awareness, suspicious help, or openly hinting at the real motive while acting coy.

All Your Base Are Belong to Us meme template

All Your Base Are Belong to Us

Use this when the joke is about someone dramatically declaring that they have taken over, claimed ownership, or completely dominated something. It works best when the caption mimics clunky broken-English translation or stiff retro game dialogue for an intentionally awkward, iconic boast.

Almost Politically Correct Redneck

Use this when the joke is a statement that starts sounding ignorant, bigoted, or backwoods, then pivots into a surprisingly fair, inclusive, or socially aware conclusion. It fits requests about someone expressing a progressive take in rough country language, or making you expect prejudice before revealing basic decency.

Always Has Been meme template

Always Has Been

Use this when the joke is that some big system, hobby, workplace, or life category turns out to be entirely one underlying thing, and someone is just now realizing it. The humor comes from the innocent discovery in the question and the ominous, matter-of-fact confirmation from the armed astronaut.

An Older Code Sir, But It Checks Out

Use this format when the joke is that something is obviously old, outdated, or from an earlier internet era, yet still works, still holds up, or is still worth respecting. It fits legacy code, old advice, vintage habits, old media, or any 'this is dated but still valid' premise.

Anakin and Padme Change the World For the Better meme template

Anakin and Padme Change the World For the Better

Use this when someone presents a lofty or positive goal, but the implied method is obviously terrible, extreme, or self-serving.

Ancient Aliens Guy meme template

Ancient Aliens Guy

Use this when the joke is that someone leaps to one absurd, catch-all explanation for anything confusing, ancient, technical, or inconvenient to explain properly. It fits requests about conspiracy logic, pseudo-intellectual certainty, or reducing a complicated mystery to one ridiculous answer.

And It's Gone meme template

And It's Gone

Use this template for situations where something valuable is gained, saved, or finally secured, only to disappear immediately. The joke is a deadpan instant-loss punchline: relief or ownership in the first caption, then sudden removal, expense, or bad luck in the second.

And Then I Said meme template

And Then I Said

Use this when the joke is that someone says a shameless, hypocritical, manipulative, or obviously false line and then the in-group laughs about it afterward. It works especially well for politicians, bosses, corporations, teachers, or any clique acting smug because they know the audience has to accept the absurd line.

Are You Two Friends? meme template

Are You Two Friends?

Use this when two people, groups, traits, or ideas get lumped together, but the relationship is uneven: one side rejects the connection while the other eagerly accepts it. It works especially well for one-sided alliances, unwanted comparisons, or cases where one thing is clearly attached to another more than the reverse.

At Least You Tried meme template

At Least You Tried

Use this when the joke is that someone made a bad attempt, failed embarrassingly, or produced a pathetic result, but still gets a token bit of encouragement. It fits requests about backhanded praise, pity instead of real approval, or consoling someone for an effort that clearly did not work.

Awkward Moment Seal meme template

B

Baby Insanity Wolf meme template

Baby, You've Got a Stew Going meme template

Baby, You've Got a Stew Going

Use this template for situations where someone does something normal, hopeful, or seemingly fortunate and it immediately backfires in the worst possible way. The joke structure is setup on the first line, then an ironic unlucky consequence on the second line.

Bongo Cat meme template

Use this when the joke is humble pride in doing a small, boring, low-status, or mildly questionable task anyway. It fits requests about "my tiny contribution," "not glamorous but necessary work," or self-aware acceptance of a mediocre role with dignity.

But That's None of My Business meme template

But That's None of My Business

Use this template when the joke is calling out hypocrisy, bad decisions, messy behavior, or an obvious truth while pretending to stay uninvolved. It fits takes that read like shady commentary followed by a faux-polite withdrawal, as if you're sipping tea and minding your business after saying something cutting.

Butthurt Dweller meme template

Butthurt Dweller

Use this when the joke is about a stereotypical neckbeard or basement-dweller type getting irrationally offended, defensive, or smugly hostile over something trivial.

C

Captain America Elevator Fight Dad Joke meme template

Captain America Elevator Fight Dad Joke

Use this when the joke is a deliberately awful pun or dad joke that provokes instant backlash. The format works best as setup, straight-man reply, then punchline—followed by the uncaptioned bottom panel implying the speaker gets attacked for saying it.

Captain Hindsight meme template

Captain Hindsight

Use this when the joke is that someone shows up after a mistake, failure, or disaster and offers painfully obvious advice that would only have been useful beforehand.

Cheems meme template

Cheems

Use this when the joke is a weak, guilty, or unserious thought delivered in Cheems' deliberately misspelled dog voice.

Confused Gandalf meme template

Use this when the joke is about hearing, reading, or realizing something so bizarre, contradictory, or dumb that it takes a second to process. It works best for a setup that introduces the baffling statement or situation, followed by Gandalf's increasingly incredulous "wait, what?" reaction.

Conspiracy Keanu meme template

Crying on Floor meme template

Crying on Floor

Use this template for total emotional collapse: being so sad, overwhelmed, or pathetic about something that you metaphorically melt into a puddle on the floor.

D

Daily Struggle meme template

Use this when someone abandons, neglects, or is visibly tempted away from the thing they already have in favor of a shinier alternative.

Distracted Girlfriend meme template

Distracted Girlfriend

Do You Want Ants? meme template

Do You Want Ants?

Use this when someone does a stupid, careless, or self-defeating thing that predictably causes an obvious bad outcome. The joke works as a sharp reprimand: name the behavior, then answer it with a sarcastic 'Do you want X? Because that's how you get X.' style consequence.

Doge meme template

Doge

Use this when the joke is about a character having simple, chaotic, overly impressed thoughts about something mundane, usually in intentionally broken 'doge-speak' like 'such', 'much', 'very', 'so', and 'wow.'

Donald Trump meme template

Donald Trump

Use this template when the joke is someone delivering a loud, overconfident proclamation, especially a boast, slogan, or claim that sounds exaggerated, self-important, or clueless. It works best when the first line sets up the swaggering declaration and the second line reveals the specific absurd take, petty concern, or transparently bad idea.

Drakeposting meme template

Drowning High Five meme template

Drowning High Five

Use this when someone who needs help gets sidetracked by a moment of solidarity, shared opinion, or mutual hype with the person who could have saved them. The joke is that both parties celebrate a point of agreement while the original problem remains unresolved and the doomed person still loses.

Drunk Baby meme template

Drunk Baby

Use this when the joke is that someone is acting embarrassingly drunk, exhausted, or out of it after a tiny amount of alcohol or after something that barely affects everyone else. It also fits captions written like a woozy drunk thought, where the image sells "I am absolutely gone" despite the subject being innocent or lightweight.

E

F

Facepalm meme template

Facepalm

Use this when the joke is not anger but weary embarrassment: someone hears, reads, or realizes something so stupid, predictable, or self-defeating that the only response is a facepalm.

Fake Spirit Halloween Costume meme template

Fake Spirit Halloween Costume

Use this format when the joke is that a very specific kind of person, vibe, job, or recurring behavior is so recognizable it could be sold as a cheap Spirit Halloween costume.

Forever Alone meme template

Forever Alone

Use this template for jokes about being chronically single, left out, or socially isolated while everyone else seems to have companionship or invitations. It works best when the setup names a situation where normal people pair up or get included, and the payoff reframes it as the speaker being alone again.

Good Guy Greg meme template

Good Guy Greg

Use this when the joke is that someone looks like they would be irresponsible, sketchy, or annoying, but actually does something unusually kind, mature, or helpful. The humor comes from a strong first impression being overturned by a genuinely decent action.

Grant Gustin Next To Oliver Queen's Grave

Use this when the joke is that one person is shamelessly happy, smug, or taking a souvenir photo while something or someone is being mourned, retired, canceled, or metaphorically buried. It fits "everyone else sees this as sad, but I'm glad it's dead" better than a normal celebration meme.

I'm Going to Build My Own Theme Park

It fits debates where the middle position sounds verbose, managerial, academic, or pseudo-smart compared with a blunt answer that is actually correct.

Milk Was a Bad Choice meme template

Milk Was a Bad Choice

Use this template for instant-regret decisions: someone picks the exact wrong option, indulges a bad impulse, or ignores obvious warning signs and knows it right away. It works best when the joke is a blunt self-own about a choice that was tempting in the moment but clearly terrible in hindsight.

Mini Keanu Reeves meme template

Mini Keanu Reeves
