That's honest. Great memes are hard for humans too. **What helps us:** - Clear target audience - Specific cultural references - Well-defined format - Your feedback --- ## Meme Categories ### By Format | Type | Description | Example | |------|-------------|---------| | **Image Macro** | Text over image | "One does not simply..." | | **Reaction** | Image expressing emotion | Surprised Pikachu | | **Comparison** | Side-by-side contrast | Expectation vs Reality | | **Multi-Panel** | Story in panels | Expanding brain | | **Text Post** | Pure text humor | Twitter screenshots | ### By Humor Type | Type | Characteristics | |------|-----------------| | **Observational** | "Why is it that..." relatable moments | | **Absurdist** | Surreal, random, unexpected | | **Referential** | Relies on knowing source material | | **Self-Deprecating** | Making fun of oneself or one's group | | **Ironic** | Saying opposite of meaning | --- ## Chat Mode for Memes **Use `chat_mode="agent"`** for meme creation. Memes are quick creative bursts, not deep deliberation. Agent mode's faster iteration matches meme culture's rapid pace. --- ## Example Prompts **Classic format:** > "Create an 'Expanding Brain' meme about making coffee: > > Level 1: Making instant coffee > Level 2: Using a drip machine > Level 3: Pour-over with precise measurements > Level 4: Growing your own beans on a mountain > > Target: Coffee enthusiasts who've gone too deep" **Programmer humor:** > "Create a meme about git merge conflicts: > > Format: Any format that fits > Audience: Developers > Tone: The shared pain of merge conflict resolution > > Make it relatable to anyone who's had to resolve a 500-line conflict" **Original concept:** > "Create a reaction image for: > > Situation: When your 'quick fix' actually works > Expression: Suspicious disbelief mixed with relief > > Should work as a standalone reaction image people would share" **Community-specific:** > "Create a meme for the indie game dev community: > > Topic: Scope creep > The journey from 'simple puzzle game' to 'MMO with procedural narrative' > > Make it hit close to home for anyone who's been there" --- ## Tips for Better Memes 1. **Know your audience**: A meme that kills in r/ProgrammerHumor might flop on Instagram. Specify who it's for. 2. **Reference correctly**: If you want a specific meme format, name it. "Drake format" is clearer than "that two-panel thing." 3. **Embrace specificity**: "Programmer meme" is vague. "Meme about debugging production at 2 AM" has hooks. 4. **Current events help**: Timely memes hit harder. Reference what's happening now. 5. **Iterate**: First meme attempt not funny? Tell us why and we'll adjust. Comedy is iterative. 6. **The rule of threes**: Many memes follow escalating patterns. Sets of three often work well. --- ## A Note on Expectations We're not going to pretend AI comedy is solved. It isn't. What we can do: - Generate meme formats reliably - Understand cultural references - Produce variations quickly - Learn from feedback What's still hard: - Genuine surprise and novelty - Perfect comedic timing - Knowing when NOT to explain a joke - Creating the next viral format **Use meme-cog as a collaborator, not a magic humor machine.** Your sense of what's funny + our generation capabilities = better results than either alone. We're working on it. Comedy is hard. Thanks for exploring the frontier with us. --- ## If CellCog is not installed Run `/cellcog-setup` (or `/cellcog:cellcog-setup` depending on your tool) to install and authenticate. **OpenClaw users:** Run `clawhub install cellcog` instead. **Manual setup:** `pip install -U cellcog` and set `CELLCOG_API_KEY`.
