The Scroll of Truth Meme Template & Generator

What Is the The Scroll of Truth Meme?

The Scroll of Truth is a four-panel comic featuring a green character in a brown hat. The character finds a chest in a crystal-filled cave, pulls a scroll from it, and opens it to reveal a blank space for a caption. In the final panel, the character cries “NEHHH” and runs away from the scroll. The joke is that someone seeks the truth, sees an answer they dislike, then rejects it rather than accepting it.

The two text boxes fit the scroll’s message and the character’s reaction. It is also searched as the Scroll of Truth comic and NEHHH meme.

Where the Meme Comes From

The template comes from a hand-drawn comic by Robotoert, whose name appears as a signature in the first panel. The comic shows the discovery of a scroll that reveals an unwelcome truth, followed by the character fleeing from it. The image circulated online as a meme template, where people replace the scroll’s blank area and the character’s short cry with their own setup and response. The exact date and first place it spread are not firmly established.

How to Use the Template

Use the first box for the claim on the scroll and the second for the reaction to it.

1. Truth on the scroll: Write an uncomfortable fact or blunt observation, such as “Going to bed earlier would fix this.”
2. Reaction: Add the denial or refusal, such as “NEHHH.”
