I am the captain now
I'm the Captain Now meme template
Announce a tiny transfer of authority with complete seriousness. Make the new responsibility specific, such as holding the picnic map, so the intense expression supplies an amusing excess of importance.
Barkhad Abdi faces the viewer and gestures toward his eyes in a still from Captain Phillips. This crop centers the face and hand more tightly than the related Look at Me template, while serving the familiar declaration of taking command. Introduce the small event that puts someone in charge and follow it with their new title. Holding the barbecue tongs can suddenly become a leadership appointment. A practical detail makes the joke self-contained, and the contrast between ordinary responsibility and dramatic confidence gives the caption its friendly theatrical weight.
