The sample captions leave room for a setup and a punchline without turning into a paragraph. 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 |
|---|---|
| I go to the gym for the first time in eight months. I will become very strong man. | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| I open one new tab to do my taxes. How hard can it be, very nice. | This 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 Borat i go to america 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.
