- Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Who wants to be a millionaire? 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.
