How to write your own

Use a concrete number in the setup and an anticlimax in the punchline. “ALARM: 7:00 / ME: 7:45” works because the numbers are specific and the second line refuses to explain itself.

Keep the top line under 24 characters. Keep the bottom line to four to eight words. If you need a comma in the top line, the joke is probably too complicated for a thumbnail.

Do not explain the joke in a third line. The templates only have two caption zones, and adding a third line flattens the rhythm that makes the format work.
