About the Inception meme template
Cobb leans in to explain something to Arthur, then we cut to Fischer looking confused in the middle of it all, then back to Cobb still talking. It's the movie's whole 'we go deeper' structure boiled down into a meme about nested explanations.
This one is built for jokes about ideas inside ideas — plans within plans, excuses layered on excuses, or explaining something so convoluted the person in the middle just checks out mentally. If your joke needs three levels of 'but actually,' this is the template.
