Meme lore

What is the After That It Gets Difficult meme?

This four-panel dialogue format follows a man and a talking kangaroo from an initial exchange to an apparent agreement, then a final caveat. Use the panels as a short back-and-forth: introduce each side, establish common ground, and end on the condition that makes cooperation difficult.

Origin & history

The format comes from the 2020 German comedy film Die Känguru-Chroniken (The Kangaroo Chronicles). It spread as a meme in early 2021, especially after a January 2021 Reddit post, for conversations where an apparent ideological or practical alliance breaks at one decisive condition.

The four frames are from a kitchen conversation in Die Känguru-Chroniken, a 2020 film based on Marc-Uwe Kling's Kangaroo Chronicles. In the referenced exchange, the talking kangaroo and his neighbor discover enough common ground to be friends until the revolution, after which the relationship becomes difficult.

How the joke works

Write a four-beat conversation: the first speaker states a position, the second replies with a different position, they find workable common ground, then the final speaker names the specific condition that makes the alliance fail.

Tone: friendly deadpan agreement collapsing into a dry, specific caveat

Caption tips

  • Keep each line conversational enough to read as one exchange.
  • Make the third panel an earnest, temporary agreement.
  • Give the fourth panel one concrete, surprising condition that reframes the agreement.
  • Keep captions inside their own panel and clear of the faces.
  • Do not use unrelated reactions or four independent captions.
  • Do not make the final panel a vague “but then it gets hard” restatement.
  • Do not make either side evil; the joke is a precise incompatibility after sincere common ground.
