Also called Sundar and Sam · Pichai Altman White House Photo
Two people arrive looking very prepared for a serious meeting. Assign each a role to turn the formal entrance into a joke about partners, shared trouble, or a plan and its backup.
The photograph shows Pichai on the left and Altman on the right, both carrying folders and wearing visitor passes. Their formal clothes give a simple arrival the feel of an important appointment.
For a caption joke, they can stand in for two classmates, coworkers, or parts of the same plan. The humor comes from giving such a serious entrance a much smaller purpose.
Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci photographed Sundar Pichai and Sam Altman arriving at the White House on May 4, 2023. They were attending a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris about artificial intelligence. [1]
The meeting brought together leaders from Alphabet, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic to discuss the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence. [1]

Place one short label over each suit, below the faces. The folders and visitor passes help sell the idea that the pair is arriving for a meeting.
Choose roles that belong together. You can pair the person with an idea and the person who backed it, or a confident plan and an equally confident backup.
