Turn down one option and pick another. The top panel sets up the sensible choice; the bottom can reveal what you'd rather do.
Drake turns away in the top panel and points approvingly in the bottom one. Put something you're rejecting beside the first image and your preferred alternative beside the second.
The preference doesn't have to be sensible. Choosing a third coffee over a full night's sleep makes the joke about your own habits. The images express a preference you wrote; they aren't an endorsement from Drake.

Know Your Meme documents a reaction-image post from October 31, 2015. That is evidence of an early use of a screenshot, rather than a confirmed first appearance of this exact two-panel layout. [2]
Hotline Bling supplies the poses that people later pair with their own captions. [1]
Know Your Meme records screenshots circulating across several 4chan boards, followed by discussions on other forums. [2]
A documented Cat Drake variation replaces his face with a cat's while keeping the rejection-and-approval setup. [2]
Choose a subject both panels can share: getting to work, planning dinner, or answering a message. Write the rejected option first. Make the preferred option more specific than its opposite.
Try reading the two captions without the picture. If they already sound like a choice someone you know would make, the expressions will do the rest.

The second panel offers a smaller way to solve the same problem. The joke works best with a meeting your team recognizes.
The approved choice defeats the goal of the rejected one. The pillow gives the late-night detour a reason to exist.
Both captions describe studying, but the second avoids the hard part. Repeating 'revision notes' makes that contrast easy to read.
