Bonjour Bear Meme Template

A polar bear peeks out of a snow den with a cheerful “Bonjour.” Give it the role of a person, pet, or interruption that appears just when you thought you had a moment to yourself.

The polite greeting makes the entrance funny. The visitor can be welcome, inconvenient, or simply impossible to avoid; the bear looks ready to join in either way.

Two labels make the relationship clear: one describes what you were doing, and the other names what suddenly appears. The printed greeting supplies the response.

The archive’s earliest documented version with “Bonjour” is a September 3, 2019 Reddit repost of a Tumblr post by sad-sad-sage. More captioned versions appeared in 2020, with a renewed burst of sharing in July. [2]

Put the situation in the open snow on the right. Label the visitor above the den so the words identify the bear without covering its eyes.

Leave “Bonjour” at the bottom untouched. It is the bear’s line, and the mismatch between that greeting and your situation is the joke.
