Impressive, Very Nice meme template: A two-panel vertical reaction image shows Patrick Bateman, played by Christian Bale in American Psycho, wearing glasses and a suit. In the first frame he looks at something with an approving half-smile; in the second he claps lightly. The exact linked image is catalogued as the Impressive, Very Nice template. It is not Borat: the CSV’s Borat description conflicts with the exact image.

Impressive, Very Nice Meme Template

The exact Rotware image matches the Patrick Bateman “Impressive, Very Nice” template identified by Imgflip, which associates it with the business-card scene from American Psycho. The phrase “very nice” is also strongly associated with Borat, so the CSV appears to conflate the catchphrase’s separate Borat association with this Bateman image. Keep those sources distinct: the linked visual is Bateman, and the meme uses his evaluative look and small clap as exaggerated approval. The sequence can be sincere or ironic, especially when a minor result is treated as exceptional or a poor result receives mock praise.

How the joke works

Slot 1 (upper frame): name the object, result, or small achievement being assessed. Slot 2 (lower frame): deliver a concise approving verdict or the exaggerated reaction it merits. The second caption should respond to the first; understated or dubious achievements make the approval funnier. Avoid attributing the words to dialogue in American Psycho unless a source confirms that wording in the film.

  1. Upper frame: identify the work, result, or choice Bateman is evaluating.
  2. Lower frame: give a short approving or mock-approving verdict that responds to the first caption.

Caption examples

Example that works
  1. The intern fixed the spacing on one button
  2. Impressive. Very nice.

The second panel gives exaggerated approval to a small but real improvement.

Example that misses
  1. A new product launched
  2. The weather is cloudy

The second caption does not evaluate or react to the first.

Situations it fits

  • a modest achievement receiving lavish approval
  • a surprisingly polished result
  • a dubious choice praised sarcastically
  • an improvement that is genuinely impressive

When this format does not fit

  • Do not identify the pictured character as Borat; the exact linked art shows Patrick Bateman.
  • Do not claim “Impressive, very nice” is dialogue from American Psycho without evidence.
  • Do not praise something without identifying what is being judged.
  • Do not make the second caption unrelated to the first.
