The sample captions are more detailed, so trim aggressively before posting on small screens. Before exporting, read the caption once without looking at the image; if it still needs a long explanation, switch to a simpler setup or a more obvious related template.
Caption patterns to try
| Pattern | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Average coffee fan: 'I like a latte in the morning' / Average coffee enjoyer: knows the altitude, roast date, and exact 93.2 degree water temp | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Average gym fan: 'I work out a few times a week' / Average gym enjoyer: has a spreadsheet tracking grip width to the millimeter | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| Average Lord of the Rings fan: 'great movies' / Average Lord of the Rings enjoyer: speaks fluent Elvish and is annoyed Tom Bombadil was cut | 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 Average Fan vs Average Enjoyer 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.
