Caption patterns to try
| Pattern | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Creates a tree of knowledge / Tells you not to touch it, then leaves it in the front yard | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Designs an entire universe in six days / Needs the seventh off to recover | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| Is all-knowing and all-powerful / Still requires you to fill out a prayer for things He already planned | This is a useful direction when you want the punchline to feel personal or self-aware. |
Common mistakes with this blank
- Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Advice God image do part of the work.
- Placing text over the most expressive part of the image, especially faces, gestures, signs, or the main action.
- Using three different ideas in one meme. This template works better when it points at one clear situation.
- Exporting before checking the meme at phone size. If the smallest words blur together, shorten the caption first.
