How to use this meme template

Close Enough uses this visual format: A stick figure with an annoyed, squinting expression. Text below reads 'CLOSE ENOUGH.'

The 'Close Enough' meme represents a begrudging acceptance of mediocrity or a less-than-ideal outcome, often used humorously to justify cutting corners or accepting a situation that isn't perfect but will suffice. Use it when a good enough joke needs a recognizable visual setup before the caption lands.

Caption structure: Two distinct captions, one for each panel. The first panel (top) sets up a situation or expectation. The second panel (bottom) provides the 'close enough' resolution, implying a compromise or lowering of standards.

Good use cases include MVP development, feature prioritization, agile sprints, technical debt management, early-stage product launch, balancing perfectionism with deadlines.

  • Start with a specific situation that fits the good enough context.
  • Keep the caption readable at phone size and leave the defining visual detail visible.
