How to write this meme
Pick a moment that would make a person go silent and stare instead of arguing. Keep both lines short so the face stays the punchline. The odd haircut and mustache do extra comedic work if the situation is ordinary.
Caption zones
- Top text — Names the trigger or situation that produces the stare
- Bottom text — Punchline, extra detail, or the thought behind the stare
Example captions

Deadpan confusion plus the fancy haircut sells “I am pretending to be cultured.”
Common mistakes
- Writing paragraphs that cover the face
