Black Guy Stopping Meme Template

Use the three boxes as a tiny scene: (1) name the tempting thing or action by the person walking away; (2) identify “me” or the person reaching for it; (3) name the friend, duty, budget, conscience, or consequence physically holding them back in the lower image. The funny conflict is wanting something and being stopped for a recognizable reason: “Limited-edition boots / Me at 2 a.m. / Rent due Friday.” Keep the labels connected to one impulse.

3. Name the restraining friend, obligation, rule, or consequence holding him back.
