In an interview withWriting Routines, Tank discussed the process of creating memes, revealing that for him, it’s more of a catch-as-catch-can kind of deal. “Mainly I’m out there living my life, being a husband, dad, employee, friend, patron, etc. While I’m out there living, sometimes things happen that I think would make a great meme,” he said.

The mastermind behind one of the most popular meme pages out there also shared that he tries to find the middle ground between posting something he finds funny and something his followers likely would. “To maintain that balance, sometimes I’ll do a generic caption with a cute puppy or something like that, but for the most part I like to stay true to myself and my sense of humor,” Tank told Writing Routines. “My hope is that instead of getting 100,000 ‘meh’ reactions, I’ll get 50,000 ‘oh my god, this guy is so funny’ reactions.”
