Deal With It meme template

Deal With It is a meme format on WhatiMeme. The figure is the unbothered last word. It is used when a complaint, hope, or plan runs into a fact that will not change, and the joke is that you are simply expected to accept it.

A black stick figure on a plain white background. The round head has a small frown and thick pixelated sunglasses with a checkerboard lens pattern. The body is a few rough lines: one arm hangs down, the other angles outward, and the legs are planted in a casual stance. No text is printed on the image.

How to write this meme

Put the unwanted situation on top and the unchangeable fact on the bottom. Keep both lines short. The bottom line should feel like a verdict, not an explanation or a second joke.

Caption zones

  • Top text — The situation. Sits above the head so the pixel sunglasses stay visible.
  • Bottom text — The shrug. Sits under the hands so the pixel sunglasses stay visible.

Example captions

  • Top text: Group project due tomorrow
  • Bottom text: Your partner has not started

A familiar school betrayal is treated as settled law, which matches the shades' smug finality.

  • Top text: You wanted a quiet weekend
  • Bottom text: The group chat has plans

A small hope is flattened by an everyday social fact, so the figure feels like the chat itself refusing to negotiate.

  • Top text: This meeting could be an email
  • Bottom text: It is still a meeting

The bottom line does not argue. It just restates the inconvenience as permanent, which is the whole joke.

  • Top text: You sorted the playlist perfectly
  • Bottom text: Shuffle is on

A tiny, specific defeat lands harder because the figure acts as if the universe planned it.

  • Top text: You read every terms page
  • Bottom text: You still clicked agree

The setup sounds principled and the bottom line undercuts it, so the sunglasses read as a self-own rather than a lecture.

Common mistakes

  • Writing a paragraph instead of two short lines
  • Explaining the sunglasses instead of using them
  • Making the bottom line apologetic or helpful
  • Putting the punchline on top and a setup underneath
  • Being cruel to a real person rather than deadpan about a situation
