What is the Two Buttons Meme?
Ever frozen in front of two options, knowing either choice will haunt you? That's the Two Buttons meme: a cartoon man drenched in sweat, hand trembling between two labeled buttons. The format turns everyday dilemmas into high-stakes standoffs.

About the Two Buttons Meme
Sweat drips from a cartoon man's face as he stares at two large red buttons on a control panel, hand hovering between them. Each button represents a different option, and his expression screams pure decision paralysis — both choices are equally tempting, equally terrible, or some agonizing combination of both.
Based on a 2014 comic by Jake Clark. The sweating man must press one of two buttons, representing an impossible decision. The format nails the anxiety of being forced to choose between two equally appealing or equally terrible options. If you want to show a clear preference instead of equal agony, try Drake Hotline Bling or Distracted Boyfriend.
How to Make a Two Buttons Meme
- The Two Buttons template is already loaded with 3 text fields: one for each button and one for the sweating man
- Fill in the left and right button fields with the two impossible choices, then label who's sweating over the decision
- Text is pre-angled to sit flush with each tilted button, so no manual rotation is needed
- Customize typography in the style panel: pick a font that matches the drama of the decision
