Knights Of The Round Table Meme Template

Knights point their swords toward the middle of a table. Label the people as different groups, then put the one thing they agree on where the blades meet.

The swords converge on a shared point, so the image turns agreement into a solemn pact. The joke often lies in how little these groups otherwise have in common.

The center label can name a shared complaint, a favorite thing, or an action everyone takes. It should explain why these particular groups have joined together.

Galan Pang created this artwork for Kingdoms of Camelot. On his portfolio, he identifies it as a mobile-game loading screen and explains that the distorted perspective at the bottom leaves room for a loading bar. The illustration was made for the game, before its use as a meme. [1]

Know Your Meme documents the image in Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North by June 2014. It traces an early labeled version to @grapejuiceboys on Instagram on October 25, 2018, followed by a widely shared Reddit post three days later. [2]

Label the three visible figures across their armor. Put the shared interest in the open area of the table between the sword tips.

Choose groups that differ in a way the audience understands. The middle label should be specific enough to explain their unlikely agreement; “being people” does not add much.

The left-hand group

Across the left knight’s armor.

The middle group

Across the king’s armor.

The right-hand group

Across the right knight’s armor.

What unites them

Between the sword tips at the center of the table.

• Use short group names.
• Make the center label apply to every group.
• Leave faces and most of the blades visible.
• You can label more swords, but three groups are enough.
