Charlie Day Conspiracy Meme Template

Use the wall of papers and red string for an explanation that has got out of hand. One caption tells us what you have been trying to solve.

Charlie gestures at an elaborate board as though the answer is finally clear. The picture fits overthinking, obsessive research, or a simple question that has somehow produced a complicated theory.

Keep the caption narrower than the board suggests. Explaining a family group chat or comparing train fares can be enough to justify the exaggerated effort.

Charlie Day plays Charlie Kelly in the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode “Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack,” first broadcast on October 30, 2008. Charlie and Mac take office jobs in pursuit of health insurance. [1]

In the mailroom, Charlie explains a supposed conspiracy about mail addressed to Pepe Silvia. The frantic speech and the board behind him later became material for fan tributes and reaction images. [1]

Put a short explanation near the bottom so the face, pointing hand, and board remain readable. The image already supplies the intensity; the caption only needs to identify the subject.

Choose something your audience has tried to untangle. A specific task such as finding a plot hole is easier to picture than a vague caption about “overthinking everything.”

The explanation

The problem that has consumed far too much effort.

• Keep enough of the board visible to show the excessive effort.
• A small problem makes the wall of evidence funnier.
• Use a single caption unless separate labels add information the viewer needs.
