About the Captain Kirk KHAAAAN! Meme

How to Make a Captain Kirk KHAAAAN! Meme

  1. Top caption sets up the situation that triggered the dramatic reaction.
  2. Bottom caption names or describes the specific offense, person, or thing that deserves the scream.
  3. Works best when the rage is completely disproportionate to the actual offense.
  4. The more mundane the bottom caption, the funnier the contrast with Kirk's anguish.
  5. Try framing the top as a quiet setup before the full "KHAAAAN!" escalation at the bottom.
