Where the Eddie Murphy thinking meme comes from
Eddie Murphy is a legendary American comedian and actor whose career spans from Saturday Night Live in the early 1980s through major film roles in Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, and many others. The specific thinking expression captured in this meme has been cropped from interviews or film footage and circulated as a reaction image on social media.
How to caption the Eddie Murphy thinking meme
Pair the image with an internal monologue that sounds deceptively reasonable before revealing a chaotic conclusion (e.g., 'if I just don't check my email, technically I can't have missed anything important'). It also works when someone is visibly plotting something they know is a bad idea but plan to do anyway. Open it in the meme generator, or read the reaction meme guide for more.

Best uses for the Eddie Murphy thinking template
Use the Eddie Murphy thinking template when the joke fits a reaction face format and the image can explain the feeling before the reader finishes the caption. It is strongest for reaction memes, group chat replies, and quick emotional punchlines.
This blank is 1200 x 720 px and is a still image, so place the most important words where they stay readable after a feed crop. The wide frame works best when the caption stays centered so timeline crops do not cut off the joke.
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 |
|---|---|
| If I don't open the bill, technically the amount stays a fun mystery | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Me realizing if I leave now, I can call it 'a half day' and nobody can prove otherwise | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| If the meeting has no agenda, then surely my camera can have no signal | 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 Eddie Murphy thinking 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.
