What is the 10 Guy Meme?

A photo of an extremely stoned-looking young man against a yellow wall, used for memes where someone tries to name an ordinary thing but invents an absurd alternative term that somehow still makes sense. "Bone sauce" for milk, "cold on-the-cob" for a popsicle. The format rewards creative wrong answers over random nonsense.

About the 10 Guy Meme

A young man leans back against a yellow wall, water bottle loosely held, eyelids at roughly 15% open. His mouth curves into a slack, contented smile. The lighting is warm and slightly blown out. Everything about his posture and expression communicates that the connection between his brain and his mouth has been thoroughly severed. He is about to describe an everyday object using words that have never been combined in that order before, and he will deliver it with complete sincerity. The yellow wall behind him glows like a halo of impaired judgment.

A photo of a young man leaning back against a yellow wall, eyes barely open, holding a water bottle with the unmistakable grin of someone who is profoundly not sober, was posted to Reddit around 2011. The "10" in the name refers to a scale of 1 to 10 measuring how high someone is; this guy maxed it out. The meme format features an attempt to describe an everyday object, action, or concept on top, followed by the hilariously wrong but oddly logical term the 10 Guy uses instead. "A homeless tortilla" for a taco that fell apart. "Bone sauce" for milk. The genius of the format is that the wrong word always makes a bizarre kind of sense if you think about it sideways. For confused-but-confident energy in a different direction, see Philosoraptor (stoned philosophy). Foul Bachelor Frog (lazy lifestyle) shares the general vibe without the vocabulary problems.

How to Make a 10 Guy Meme

  1. 10 Guy is loaded and barely conscious. Feed him a word he definitely can't remember
  2. Top text: a normal sentence or request. Bottom text: the same thought expressed using completely wrong but weirdly logical substitute words. "Can you pass me a water balloon" instead of asking for a water bottle
  3. The sweet spot is when the wrong word makes you pause and think "wait, that actually kind of works." Pure gibberish is less funny than accidental alternate logic
  4. White Impact with thick black outlines on the yellow-tinted photo. The classic advice animal treatment suits 10 Guy since he debuted right in the golden age of the format
  5. Vocabulary destroyed. Grab the PNG with Download or Copy the meme into any chat where someone just said something that made zero sense
