1. Kermit: But That's None of My Business
At just the right moment, Kermit the Frog becomes a hilarious template for passive aggression. The caption below the picture of Kermit always stays the same; it's the subtle gripe above Kermit that makes this meme yours. The meme might help you express your audience's typical challenges -- but that's none of my business.
2. Futurama Fry: Not Sure If
You don't need to be a fan of the TV show, Futurama, to appreciate the look of suspicion on the face of Fry, shown above. This meme is known by its opening phrase, "Not sure if ..." It allows any user to memejack the rest with a caption that describes a funny, perhaps exaggerated uncertainty among their audience.
3. Be Like Bill
Simplicity is the source of the funny in this meme. Meet Bill, an adorable stick-figure model for the behavior you know your audience would endorse. All you have to do is describe him in three lines, all leading up to "Be Like Bill," the last caption on every iteration of this popular meme.
4. What People Think I Do
Some memes are designed to identify with the reputation struggles of your audience. The one above speaks for itself.

5. Success Kid
Success Kid is a meme that has stood the test of time. There's no requires text on this one -- it's a template for any extreme stroke of luck you know your audience would resonate with. The caption above doubles as a true story: the smallest changes to your call to action (CTA) copy can change its appeal tremendously.
6. Buzz Lightyear: Everywhere
The characters above need no introduction, but this meme might. With his arm around Woody, Buzz Lightyear offers a gesture of optimism (or sarcasm, depending on how you play this one) for your audience. For marketers, the right lead magnets can generate more leads than you ever thought possible ... Buzz's words, not mine.
7. Boromir: One Does Not Simply
You might recognize this handsome soldier from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. But Boromir, son of Denethor, is much more than a warrior of Gondor. In the scene above from the Fellowship of the Ring, Boromir explains how "one does not simply" walk into Mordor, an evil region of Middle Earth where few have survived.
Everyone has their own version of Boromir's grave warning. In marketing circles, Google might as well be Mordor for search engine optimization (SEO) specialists.
