About the Steamboat Willie meme template
The oldest meme format on the internet: black-and-white Mickey Mouse steering his boat with a big blank speech bubble just waiting to be filled. There's something inherently funny about putting modern slang or absurd declarations in the mouth of 1928 public-domain Mickey.
Use it for anachronism jokes, "me explaining something to no one" energy, or just captioning whatever thought crossed your mind in the voice of the most wholesome cartoon mouse ever animated. Works great as a reaction to old things saying new things.
