Friday Standup
DAILY STANDUP on top, STILL WAITING FOR AN UPDATE below. The waves give the eye a rhythm, so the bottom line reads like the fourth time the same sentence was said. It is gentle enough for a team channel and specific enough that anyone who has sat in a 9:15 standup recognises it immediately.
Opens in the editor with both captions filled in. Free exports a 1080 px PNG and a GIF with a small FunnyHub credit; Pro unlocks 2160 px and no credit. Nothing is uploaded.
What this template actually looks like
A salmon field (#FFB3A7) holds seven horizontal wavy ribbons in translucent oxblood, alternating thick and thin, with a cobalt disc floating left of centre and a thin border. The lines are loose and hand-drawn rather than ruler-straight. That wobble makes the poster feel like a conversation that keeps going in circles, which is exactly the shape of a standup with no update.
Post it during or after a standup where the ticket has not moved, or pin it in a sprint channel on a Friday. It also works for async teams that replaced standups with a thread nobody updates. Keep it out of a thread about an actual blocker that needs help.
Replace “STANDUP” with your own ceremony — sprint review, weekly sync, client call — and the template keeps working. If the team is actually blocked, use a real status in the bottom line instead of a joke; the artwork is calm enough to carry a serious update.
How to use it
- Choose Friday Standup from the gallery.
- Name the standup after your own team ritual if it is funnier.
- Set the bottom caption to the update everyone is waiting for.
- Export a GIF if the waiting deserves a little movement.

The template loads with “DAILY STANDUP” and “STILL WAITING FOR AN UPDATE” already placed. Both lines stay inside the safe area, and you can drag either one on the canvas. Need more lines? Browse the caption library.
Sizes and where to post it
Use 1080 × 1080 px for Instagram, Slack and Discord. For X, 1200 × 675 keeps two or three wave bands visible; centre the captions. A 1080 × 1350 portrait export works for Instagram if you want the waves to run longer.
Every export happens on your device: the editor draws the frame on a canvas, and neither the artwork nor your captions are uploaded. Free exports a 1080 × 1080 PNG and a 720 px GIF with a small corner credit; Pro exports 2160 × 2160 PNGs and GIFs without the credit.
Full per-platform numbers are in the meme size cheat sheet, and the GIF walkthrough covers motion, looping and file size.
