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 |
|---|---|
| First frame: my coworker suggesting a 7am meeting / Second frame: actually it gets the day over with | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| First frame: pineapple on pizza / Second frame: hold on, the sweet and salty thing... | 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 Kombucha Girl 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.
