Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife Meme Template

Antoine Dodson addresses the camera with an urgent warning. For a lighthearted caption, name a small approaching problem and follow it with an exaggerated instruction about what to hide.

The meme borrows the urgency of a warning and applies it to an everyday situation. A hungry visitor, surprise guests, or a toddler with art supplies can all make an ordinary household object seem suddenly at risk.

The original interview concerned a reported attack on Dodson’s sister. New captions can use the warning structure without making that incident or the family the subject of the joke.

WAFF reporter Elizabeth Gentle interviewed Antoine Dodson in Huntsville, Alabama, after a reported break-in at his sister Kelly’s home. The station’s July 28, 2010 report describes Antoine responding to her scream and confronting the intruder. His direct warning to the camera became widely shared. [1]

The Gregory Brothers turned the interview into “Bed Intruder Song,” uploaded on their schmoyoho channel on July 31, 2010. In a later interview, the group said the news clip was already spreading widely before the remix and that they formed a partnership with Dodson. [2] [3]

Place the setup in the open window and wall area to the left of Dodson’s head. Put the warning along the lower part of the image, keeping his face and red bandana clear.

Choose a harmless, specific situation. The stronger the contrast between the ordinary problem and the urgent delivery, the less extra explanation the caption needs.
