About this template

About the Wise Old Sage Advice meme template

That finger-in-the-air pose says "listen closely, I have wisdom" — except the wisdom is usually garbage. This elderly robed sage template (based on a famous photo of aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba) has been recycled across meme sites for years as the go-to face for fake ancient proverbs, backhanded advice, and "here's a life lesson nobody asked for" jokes.

Use it whenever you want to deliver a punchline with false gravitas — the more mundane or terrible the advice, the funnier the contrast with his serene, all-knowing expression. Drop your own caption in and download it free, no sign-up required.
