Captions for the Drake meme
A Drake caption is a rejected option on top and an approved option below — the joke is the contrast between what you should choose and what you actually choose.
Give the generator your two options (or just a topic and let it build the pair), and it returns ten Drake-ready captions in your tone.
Runs entirely in your browser. This is a template-based idea generator — it combines each format's caption structure with your topic and tone. It is not an AI language model, and every suggestion is a starting point to edit, not a finished joke.

Questions
What makes a Drake caption funny?
Contrast plus recognition. The top panel must be the option everyone knows they should pick — or the obviously worse one — and the bottom panel the choice the poster actually makes. If both panels are equally sensible, there is no joke; if nobody recognises the temptation, there is no share.
Which panel goes on top?
The rejected option goes on top (the turned-away Drake), the approved option below (the pointing Drake). Reversing them reverses the meaning — a common mistake that makes captions read backwards.
How long should each Drake line be?
Under eight words per panel is the sweet spot. The format is read at scroll speed; if a panel needs a comma and a clause, split the idea or pick a sharper contrast.
