Alright fellas, this is a bootcamp. This is no game. Your ass will be kicked. You might cry. But you're here for one reason, and one reason only. How to make, a fire ass meme.
In this training, you will learn what the requirements to make a fire meme are. So let's cut the bullshit and get straight into this shit boi.
IDEAS:
So you want to make a fire meme eh? Well then you need to start fresh. Fresh ideas are the key to original content. Brainstorm a little. When you are making a meme, you want to notice how memes look and taste in the present rather than the past. The meme community tends to change very quickly, and if you are going to be making these for a while, then you need to keep up to date. Start by following meme pages on other social medias, I'd recommend Instagram. Some pages you should follow are yusefbro and xanaxpenguin and look through some tags on the search page for more people to follow.
PICTURES:
The picture is one of the most important parts of a meme. You can use many pictures if you want. If you are planning on using a single picture, and don't want to use a caption, use something like this:
Picture from xanaxpenguin's Instagram page
It's simple, it has no meaning, but funny.
If you are going to use a caption, then use something like this:
Picture from the thumbnail of this video: BEST Dank Memes Compilation 2017 (Try Not To Laugh Dank Meme Vines) (DON'T USE TITLES LIKE THAT EVER)
Open-ended pictures such as this one are easy to put a caption in because they're incomplete. Let me show you, Caption: when you eat three lollipops but only one was unwrapped
And if you want to use multiple pictures for a meme, make sure the pictures connect with each other. Yusefbro's page has tons of these kinds of memes, observe how they are put together.
CAPTIONS:
Some memes need a caption, without one they just wouldn't work. So, when creating a caption, you want the punch line to be strong. Rule number one, don't make the meme relatable. Relatable memes most of the time aren't funny. Take the caption I made in the picture section above. It's not relatable at all, but it's still hilarious. Rule number 2, be original. We as consumers favor those who make original content rather than people stealing it from others. And no one likes it when someone else takes credit for your work. Don't be a meme stealer. Rule number 3, don't take captioning too seriously. Sometimes, when you're not trying to be funny is when you are the funniest. Let your captioning be casual and don't think too hard.
End of bootcamp. Have fun making some fire ass memes.
