How to use this meme template
What the Here Lies X meme means
The artwork matches the underwater grave and flowers associated with Squidward’s “hopes and dreams” in SpongeBob SquarePants’ “One Krab’s Trash.” The active template removes the original inscription and provides one editable text box. Meme examples use a single epitaph to joke about the end of a trend, team, service, streak, or fictional idea. Keep the caption in one slot and target something fictional or low stakes.
Square underwater graveyard scene with one large blank tombstone and flowers at its base. There is a single editable caption box over the stone. The source image contains no “HERE LIES” text; write the complete epitaph in the one slot.
How the joke works
Use one complete caption in slot 1. It should read as a full epitaph: “Here lies [thing]” with an optional short cause, consequence, or date included in that same caption. The blank stone does not supply the words “Here lies.”
- Single caption on the tombstone: write the complete epitaph, naming what is symbolically gone; optionally add its cause or date in the same text box.
Caption examples
- HERE LIES MY SLEEP SCHEDULE — TAKEN OUT BY “ONE MORE EPISODE”
One caption contains the complete epitaph and the everyday cause of the symbolic demise.
- HERE LIES
This is only an opener and never names what is being memorialized.
Situations it fits
- A trend or online bit finally dying out
- A harmless habit or streak ending
- A discontinued app or feature
- A fictional character or fandom joke
- A plan defeated by a silly everyday mishap
When this format does not fit
- Do not create a second caption or split the epitaph across two slots; only slot 1 exists.
- Do not leave the inscription incomplete; name the thing being memorialized in the single caption.
- Do not claim “HERE LIES” is baked into this blank active asset.
- Do not make an actual person’s death, real accident, or grieving person the punchline.
- Keep the inscription concise enough to read on the tombstone.
