Television shows like Futurama and Game of Thrones consist of unforgettable characters. OG meme-makers used this fact to their advantage.
Fry from Futurama is a popular meme character, for example. He is often pictured with squinting eyes. The caption is something along the lines of a question or contemplation.
Due to the context of Futurama (it’s a sci-fi cartoon), you can caption Fry questioning a wide range of topics that would be plausible in both your and his universe.
King Stark from Game of Thrones is often pictured with a hand gesture that lets the audience know that he is about to begin explaining something.
- Being Human: Is Your Meme Relatable?
Enjoy explaining the world according to you with a similar character gesture in your new meme! Here are some topic options that can make your meme famous:
- Local and abroad current events
- Common trends through the decades
- Specific jokes about your niche
Some subjects work best with art that already exists in the world like Fry from Futurama. Some meme topics invite you to create your own art! However, most memes can get famous by using a photograph from the internet.
- Spatial Awareness: Select Your Meme Template
In some ways, a meme is like a rudimentary comic strip. It has all of the basic functions of its sister art form.
Being spatially aware of your images, captions and empty spaces can help you decide which panel you would like to emphasize.
Meme templates are available in many different layout structures to make different types of memes. Choose a one-image layout to keep it simple or enjoy a multi-panel version to really get your point across!
- Yin and Yang: Image and Text
The image and text of your meme are of equal importance. The easiest part about creating a meme is that neither of them has to be very detailed to get famous.
Choosing an image for your meme doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with the subject that you are making your meme about.
The text, on the other hand, is often written 100% by you. Unless, you are referencing a common catchphrase, quote, or fact.
Don’t let writing a famous meme caption intimidate you! These captions can literally be one word long. It all depends on the image you have selected and how your words relate to it.
- Find a Safe Way to Go Viral
Lastly, it’s important that your meme is respectful before it hits the internet. The internet is a vast place where your meme will be translated through many languages once it is famous.
Double-check the content of your meme and make sure that you’re okay for people everywhere to come across it. This is the added step you must take to ensure the longevity of your world-famous meme.
