Two Buttons Meme Template

About the Two Buttons format

The familiar dilemma comes from a comic by artist Jake Clark. Our version is a new illustration of the familiar setup, designed to leave you room for your own captions. Start with the visual relationship, then choose words that make that relationship feel surprising or recognizable to your audience.

How to use this template

Label each button with a choice that creates a real dilemma, then identify the worried character if the context needs it. Short parallel phrases are easier to compare than two unrelated sentences. Both options can be reasonable, or they can expose two contradictory things a person claims to want.

The editor above already has your picture loaded. Press Add Text to create a caption and replace the placeholder with your own words. Add another textbox for a second line or another label. Drag captions into position, use the corner handles to resize them, and rotate only when the angle helps the joke. You can change the text color and font from the controls beside the preview.

When it works best

Try this format for impossible deadlines, indecisive ordering, competing hobbies, or contradictory workplace expectations. It can gently point out that someone wants faster delivery and more review at the same time. For a personal joke, show the tension between going to bed early and finishing one more episode.

Think about who will see the finished picture. A team chat can understand an inside reference that strangers would miss, while a public post needs a setup that stands on its own. Keep the wording direct, remove details that do not serve the punchline, and give the image enough space to carry its part of the story.

Four caption ideas to make your own

Use these pairs as starting points. Replace the details with something from your own day, and check that each caption fits the visual role you have assigned it.

How it compares with other formats

Drake announces a preference, whereas Two Buttons leaves the conflict unresolved. Expanding Brain develops an idea through successive levels. This comic focuses the entire joke on the moment before choosing, making the worried reaction as important as either label.

Explore the complete template collection if the tone is not quite right. A different expression can turn the same caption into a celebration, an awkward confession, or a sarcastic reply. Matching the mood is usually more effective than forcing a favorite image to tell a story it does not naturally support.

Make the final image easy to read

White Impact-style lettering with a black outline is the default because it stays visible against busy backgrounds. Keep captions short and check them at the preview’s actual size. Avoid covering eyes, hands, or other details that explain the reaction. Select Download PNG when you are happy: the free file keeps the image’s proportions with an 800-pixel long edge and a small FastMeme watermark.

Uploaded pictures and captions stay in your browser; there is no public gallery or account to manage. Save your file before leaving the page, because your edit is not stored between visits. When sharing, add a short written description so people who cannot see the image can still understand the joke.
