What makes a meme work

Memes rely on a shared reference and a fast setup-and-payoff. Use short lines (under 8 words each), capital letters in a heavy font such as Impact with a dark outline, and a clear contrast between setup (top) and punchline (bottom). Use images you have rights to, and avoid targeting individuals or groups.
