You Made This? I Made This Meme Template

One character hands over something they made. The recipient studies it, then claims to have made it. Label the creator, the recipient, and the work being claimed.

The comic shows credit changing hands without the work changing at all. The recipient moves from acknowledging someone else’s effort to speaking as its author.

It suits a fictional office credit grab, an uncredited repost, or a family member retelling your joke. The existing dialogue already delivers the reversal.

Cartoonist Anthony Clark, who publishes as Nedroid, posted the comic on Tumblr on January 30, 2013, with the caption “The Internet.” His original post remains a direct source for the drawing and date. [1]

The comic itself was soon reposted without attribution. Later edits added labels to apply its authorship joke to specific situations. [2]

Label the creator beneath the upper-left character and the recipient beneath the upper-right character. Use the open space beside the middle object to name the work.

Keep the speech bubbles and faces uncovered. The recipient appears again in the last two parts, so the same identity carries through without rewriting the dialogue.

The original creator

In the white space beneath the upper-left character.

The person taking credit

In the white space beneath the upper-right character.

The work being claimed

In the open area to the left of the middle object.

• Give the two characters distinct roles.
• Name the work in a short phrase.
• Keep the original speech bubbles readable.
• Use fictional roles or a self-directed joke.
