{"id":"increasingly-verbose","name":"Increasingly Verbose","summary":"Increasingly Verbose memes are multi-panel images where a meme is redrawn with progressively worse art quality while its caption is rewritten in increasingly wordy, overwrought language with each frame[1]. Originating on Imgur in May 2016, the format exploded on Reddit by December of that year, turning simple catchphrases into absurd pseudo-academic paragraphs paired with crude MS Paint illustrations[2]. The humor comes from the inverse relationship between visual quality and textual complexity.","tags":["increasingly-verbose","meme","internet meme","viral meme","meme format"],"howToUse":["**Pick a well-known meme** with a short, iconic caption. The more recognizable the source, the better the joke lands.","**Create 3-6 panels**, starting with the original image and caption.","**Redraw each panel** with progressively less skill or apply increasing JPEG compression. MS Paint is the traditional tool. By the final panel, the image should be barely recognizable.","**Rewrite the caption** for each panel using more elaborate vocabulary. A word like \"no\" might become \"I must respectfully decline your proposition\" and eventually a paragraph-long philosophical treatise.","The humor works best when the final caption is technically accurate but absurdly overwritten, and the final image is a shapeless blob that only makes sense if you saw panel one."],"imageCount":15,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-peter-griffin.webp","caption":"Peter Griffin Increasingly Verbose meme with four panels of escalating text length explaining a simple concept in increasingly elaborate language","width":1054,"height":1600,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-multi-character.webp","caption":"Increasingly Verbose","width":285,"height":1600,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-x-gon-give.webp","caption":"Increasingly Verbose","width":600,"height":900,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-sonic-fast.webp","caption":"Increasingly Verbose","width":680,"height":813,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-spongebob-breathing.webp","caption":"Increasingly Verbose","width":640,"height":637,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-troll-faces.webp","caption":"Increasingly Verbose","width":680,"height":532,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-dispenser.webp","caption":"Increasingly Verbose","width":680,"height":1322,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-dark-background.webp","caption":"Increasingly Verbose","width":359,"height":1600,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-bee-jazz.webp","caption":"Increasingly Verbose","width":492,"height":960,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-pirate-ready.webp","caption":"Increasingly Verbose","width":640,"height":590,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-apple-think.webp","caption":"","width":null,"height":null,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-sonic-moving.webp","caption":"","width":null,"height":null,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-cowboy-noon.webp","caption":"","width":null,"height":null,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-anna-frozen.webp","caption":"","width":null,"height":null,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/increasingly-verbose-political-slogan.webp","caption":"","width":null,"height":null,"nsfw":false}],"historyUrl":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/increasingly-verbose/history.md","related":["arthur-fist","congratulations-played-yourself","illuminati-confirmed","name-more-iconic-duo","confused-math-lady","evil-kermit","get-you-someone-who","cursed-images","top-10-anime-betrayals","man-who-can-do-both","crying-jordan","the-floor-is"],"popularityRank":1455,"license":"Meme images and history: templates, screenshots, photos and fan edits, many of copyrighted material or real people.
