But That's None Of My Business (Neutral) Meme Template

The image belongs to the “Kermit sipping tea / But That’s None of My Business” meme family. Kermit’s tea-sipping still is associated with Lipton’s 2014 “Be More Tea” Muppets campaign, in which Kermit dealt calmly with a chaotic city and encouraged others to “be more tea.” The familiar “But that’s none of my business” phrasing was added by meme creators, not spoken in the commercial. Know Your Meme documents early Kermit image macros in January 2014 and the earliest known version with that phrase on Instagram on June 17, 2014; a dedicated account helped spread it. The familiar format uses a pointed observation about someone’s behavior followed by a disclaimer that feigns detachment, creating a mix of gossip, judgment and plausible deniability. This neutral, unbranded crop keeps Kermit’s tea-sipping pose while reducing overt product placement; it can support understated commentary, but the traditional phrase still gives it a sarcastic edge.

A 664×516 still shows Kermit the Frog in profile, calmly sipping from a red tea glass beside a window. The current neutral variant has no visible Lipton label on the cup and uses a wider crop that includes more of Kermit and the window. It has two full-width caption boxes: slot 1 above the image and slot 2 below it. Compared with the adjacent branded template, this image is wider, less tightly cropped, and does not show the Lipton logo; both depict Kermit holding tea.

Slot 1 (top) states a concise observation about a contradiction, questionable behavior, or low-stakes bit of drama. Slot 2 (bottom) adds the mock-detached qualifier “but that’s none of my business,” or a short equivalent, making clear that the speaker is commenting while pretending to stay out of it. The joke relies on the gap between the pointed observation and the claimed indifference. This neutral version has no printed phrase, so the captions must supply the setup and payoff. Keep the subject light and avoid humiliating private individuals, targeting protected traits, or presenting speculation as fact.

1. Top box: make the pointed but low-stakes observation about a behavior, contradiction, or situation.
2. Bottom box: add the mock-detached “none of my business” reaction or concise equivalent; this line delivers the ironic disclaimer.

• A low-stakes contradiction between what someone says and what they do
• Observing harmless everyday drama while playfully claiming to stay out of it
• A wry aside about an obvious but non-serious choice or habit
• A lightly sarcastic comment where the second line signals feigned detachment

• Slot 1 must contain the observation and slot 2 its feigned disclaimer; do not reverse or separate them.
• The phrase “none of my business” was added by meme users; do not attribute it to dialogue in the Lipton commercial.
• Keep the target and situation light; avoid humiliating a private person, exposing private details, or targeting protected traits.
• Do not present rumors or assumptions about real people as established fact.
