About the Bro Explaining Meme
Side by side: one person gesticulating with the energy of someone who has been waiting their whole life to explain this particular thing. Next to them, another person wears an expression that says they regret asking. The format maps perfectly onto any situation where enthusiasm and interest are violently mismatched.
A photo taken at a baseball stadium showing one person animated and gesturing while explaining something at length, while the person next to them looks utterly unmoved. The explainer genuinely believes what they're saying is fascinating; the listener clearly disagrees. The format works for any mismatch between enthusiasm and reception. For a similar energy gap, see Drake Hotline Bling (one-sided preference) or Epic Handshake (unexpected agreement).
How to Make a Bro Explaining Meme
- The Bro Explaining template is loaded with 2 text fields: one over the explainer on the left and one over the skeptical listener on the right
- Fill in the left field with what the explainer is going on about, and the right with who is politely suffering through the explanation
- Both text boxes sit at the top of their respective halves, so shorter text reads most cleanly. Cut down long takes to one punchy line
- Black bold Arial against the light background keeps it readable without covering too much of the facial expressions, which are the whole joke
- Meme complete: Download the PNG, or send it directly to whoever keeps explaining things nobody asked them to explain
