Where the Chad Richard meme comes from

The Chad meme archetype originated from the Virgin vs. Chad format that became popular around 2017, depicting a meek Virgin versus a supremely confident Chad. The Richard naming suggests this is a specific community variant, possibly from a webcomic or animated short that gave the Chad character a distinct identity.

This blank is 800 x 800 px and is animated, so place the most important words where they stay readable after a feed crop. The near-square frame is flexible for feeds, group chats, Reddit, and Discord.

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.

Common mistakes with this blank

  • Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Chad Richard 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.
