- Left text: This is Bill. Bill sees a spoiler and keeps scrolling. Be like Bill.
One tiny act of restraint stands in for a very common annoyance, and the closer makes the advice feel like a character sketch instead of a lecture.
Be Like Bill meme template
Be Like Bill is a meme format on WhatiMeme. The blank left side is filled with a short third-person story about a named person who does one considerate, sensible, or socially aware thing. The story ends by telling the reader to be like that person, gently shaming the ruder alternative without describing it at length.

How to write this meme
Use the formula: name the person, show one concrete good deed, stop. Let the bad behavior stay implied. End on “Be like [Name].” Keep the sentences short and flat so the stick figure’s polite smile does the judging.
Caption zones
- Left text — The full mini-story naming the character, showing one good behavior, and ending with the “be like” line
Example captions
- Left text: This is Priya. Priya finishes the milk and buys more milk. Be like Priya.
The household crime is instantly recognizable, and naming a calm fix is funnier than scolding the person who left the empty carton.
- Left text: This is Bill. Bill is running late. Bill sends a text. Be like Bill.
It praises a two-second courtesy that most people have been denied, so the deadpan “be like Bill” lands as a shared grievance.
- Left text: This is Jordan. Jordan borrows a charger and gives it back. Be like Jordan.
The missing charger is a universal office and classroom grudge, and the template turns basic decency into a heroic character trait.
- Left text: This is Bill. Bill disagrees. Bill does not hit reply-all. Be like Bill.
It isolates one precise workplace sin and lets the short sentences do the judging, which matches the stick figure’s blank, pleasant face.
Common mistakes
- Writing a lecture instead of a three- or four-line story
- Forgetting the “Be like” closer
- Listing several unrelated good deeds
- Making the character smug, cruel, or illegal
- Putting the caption over the figure instead of in the empty left space
- Yelling at the reader instead of praising the example
