What is the POV Meme?

Two Breaking Bad actors tower over the camera, grinning like they know something you don't. The POV format flips the perspective so the viewer becomes the joke, the patient, the defeated, or whatever embarrassing position the caption describes. You are the meme now.

About the POV Meme

Bryan Cranston and Dean Norris from Breaking Bad, grinning ear to ear as they look down at the camera from above. Blue sky with white clouds stretches behind them. The selfie angle makes the viewer the subject being observed, laughed at, or pitied. Mirrored text reads "POV:" at the top and "YOU'RE THE MEME" at the bottom, reinforcing that you are the one being looked down on.

A behind-the-scenes photo of Bryan Cranston (Walter White) and Dean Norris (Hank Schrader) from Breaking Bad, grinning down at the camera from above in a selfie angle. The image was repurposed with "POV:" at the top and "YOU'RE THE MEME" at the bottom (both mirrored/upside down from the viewer's perspective, since you're looking up at them). The format puts the viewer in the position of being looked down on, laughed at, or observed. For a related Breaking Bad reaction, see Walter White Falling (emotional devastation).

How to Make a POV Meme

  1. The POV template already has "POV:" and "YOU'RE THE MEME" text baked into the image. Add your own setup text for context
  2. Top text explains the situation or what led to this moment. Bottom text delivers the punchline about why you're being looked down on. The baked-in text adds to the layered joke
  3. Classic overlay adds your custom caption on top of the existing text, or Classic Bars place your words above and below the selfie shot
  4. Bold white text with outlines matches the existing baked-in font style. The blue sky background behind Walter and Hank keeps white text readable
  5. You're the meme now. Download the PNG or Share it with whoever deserves to be the one looking up
