'''Image macros as page images are discouraged on Website/TVTropes, since most of them aren't really useful or funny. In fact, there's a tag on ImagePickin called {{NSFW}}/Image Macro. Administrivia/TLPBump, ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful, and this page are the only exceptions to this rule.'''

Most image macros are photographs of cats, called WebOriginal/LOLCats, but they don't even have to be photographs. Captions are typically word replacements (called snowclones) of [[MemeticMutation Internet memes]], such as "Im in ur X, Ying ur Z", "I has a X", "X has a flavor", [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "redundant statement is redundant"]], and "invisible X". Despite still being popular in some circles, the once iconic "advice animal" format is, in general, considered a long-past fad of the late-2000s/early-2010s.

One of the most common pastimes available on the Internet. Take a fairly representative image of some kind, slap a redundant caption on it in a [[UsefulNotes/{{Fonts}} bold stark font]], and upload it somewhere to share with people. [[HilarityEnsues It's as simple as that!]]

* [[http://memegenerator.net/ Memegenerator]] is dedicated entirely to the ImageMacro sub-concept of the more general MemeticMutation kind of Internet phenomena. The usual layout of such an image, at least on said site, is usually one single image, with some text on its top followed by another one at its bottom. The below-described Courage Wolf and the like are some of the best known memes on that site.
