Put one opinion on Lisa’s blank slide and let her explain it to the room. A small complaint gets the seriousness of a prepared presentation.
Lisa stands onstage holding notes beneath a large projection screen. The audience and spotlight make your statement look like something she has come prepared to defend.
Use the slide for a firm preference, a reminder people keep ignoring or a point you are tired of explaining. The joke comes from giving a minor issue a whole presentation.
The scene comes from Bye, Bye, Nerdie, season 12, episode 16 of The Simpsons. Apple TV lists its release date as March 11, 2001. Lisa investigates why a bully targets her; Know Your Meme identifies the presentation scene as the source of this template. [1] [2]
Know Your Meme records Reddit user thomas22howe posting the scene to r/MemeEconomy on May 16, 2018. Other edits put statements on the screen. The blank slide gives you the same space to make your own point. [2]
Put one short statement in the upper part of the white slide. Use dark text and leave Lisa’s face, notes and the audience clear so the image still reads as a presentation.
