Caption patterns to try

PatternWhy it works
Me bursting into the group chat 4 hours late: 'WAIT WHAT HAPPENED'This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label.
My intrusive thoughts kicking down the door at 3amThis pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction.

Common mistakes with this blank

  • Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Big bird kicks down a door 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.
