My Brain Before Sleep Random Awkward Memory Meme
Dialogue
Overview
This meme uses the popular 'nobody asked' format to joke about a widely relatable experience. The top section features text establishing that no one has prompted any conversation or thought, first reading 'Nobody:', then 'Absolutely nobody:'. The next line in red text reads 'My brain before sleeping:', followed by a still of Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton from the 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The character points directly at the viewer while holding a beer can and a cigarette, with overlaid text on the image that reads 'Remember that awkward thing you did in 2016? Yeah... let's think about it for 3 hours.' The joke refers to the common experience of a person's brain randomly recalling old embarrassing, cringeworthy memories completely unprompted right as they are trying to fall asleep, causing them to stay awake ruminating on the memory for hours.
