Common mistakes with this blank
- Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Aragorn Black Gate for Frodo 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.
