Two Buttons Meme-Vorlage & Generator

What Is the Two Buttons Meme?

Two Buttons is a two-panel comic. In the top panel, a hand reaches toward two large red buttons mounted on a console. In the bottom panel, a sweating, red-haired man in a red shirt wipes his forehead and looks distressed. The buttons stand for two competing choices, and the man represents someone having a hard time deciding between them. It is often used for dilemmas where both options are tempting, awkward, or difficult to accept.

Where the Meme Comes From

The image is a comic by the artist Jake Clark, whose signature appears in the lower panel. It circulated online as a choice-based reaction meme, with users adding competing options to the buttons and the comic's character showing the strain of choosing. The template spread widely across social media and meme-sharing communities; the exact date and first place it became popular are not firmly established.

How to Use the Template

Use the two button labels for the competing options and the lower panel for the person or situation struggling to decide.

1. First button: Write one choice, such as “Go to bed early”.
2. Second button: Write the alternative choice, such as “Watch one more episode”.
3. The person deciding: Add who is torn between the options, such as “Me on a work night”.
