Meme template

A meme template is a reusable image or layout with blanks—caption spaces, label lines, or drag-and-drop slots—that users fill to create new instances of a meme. Templates turn one-off jokes into exploitable formats.

Iceberg templates

Blank iceberg silhouettes with empty tier bands circulate as templates on Reddit, Discord, and image editors. Filled versions become topic charts; narrating a filled template yields a YouTube iceberg. TierMaker plays an analogous role for tier lists.
