Get Back to Work: Mastering the Art of Procrastination
We've all been there: the struggle of maintaining focus when there's a whole world of distractions calling your name.
Scenario Breakdown
- Characters: Procrastinator (the person on the couch), an Alarm Clock (the ominous timer)
- Setting: Cozy living room with a laptop (work), a TV playing funny cat videos, and snack wrappers scattered around.
Context and Emotion
The central emotion is panic disguised as humor. When the procrastinator realizes time has slipped away, the exaggerated reaction is what makes the scenario funny and relatable.
Enhancing Humor
- Use an absurdly oversized alarm clock for comedic effect.
- Include a thought bubble reading, "But the cats need me!" to underline the contrast between procrastination and responsibility.
- Incorporate a meme reference like “I should be working!” meme text.
Meme Format Suggestions
- Drake Format: Top panel of Drake rejecting work; bottom panel loving cat videos.
- Distracted Boyfriend: The boyfriend looking at cat videos while the girlfriend (work) looks upset.
- Mocking SpongeBob: SpongeBob mimicking with a slouch saying, "Get back to woRk!" as the alarm clock looms.
Visual Setup
The meme can be visually structured as follows:
- Center the procrastinator looking shocked and slightly messy.
- Place the oversized alarm clock to the side, looming threateningly.
- Add a bubble for the procrastinator talking to the clock, with an exaggerated expression of disbelief.
With this setup, the relatable struggle of getting back to work amidst distractions can shine through, capturing the humor in procrastination.
