Best uses for the We don't do that here template
Use the We don't do that here template when the joke fits a situation format and the image can explain the feeling before the reader finishes the caption. It is strongest for relatable everyday moments, before-and-after jokes, and social observations.
This blank is 1360 x 763 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 |
|---|---|
| Coworker: replies-all to the entire company / T'Challa: we don't do that here | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| New roommate: leaves dishes 'to soak' for 5 days / T'Challa: we don't do that here | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| Friend: texts 'we need to talk' and then goes offline / T'Challa: we don't do that here | 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 We don't do that here 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.
