Meme lore

What is the Woody Before vs. After meme?

Woody Before vs. After is a two-panel comparison: left is the Toy Story promo cowboy tipping his hat; right is the Toy Story 5 trailer still of Woody from behind, red paisley poncho, hat in his hands, paint worn off the crown so he looks bald. Used for aging, burnout, and “me then vs me now.”

Origin & history

The left still is classic Pixar Woody (Toy Story, 1995). The right still is from the Toy Story 5 trailer released February 19, 2026 (~1:20): Woody turns away, removes his hat, and a bald spot of worn paint shines. Know Your Meme logged Balding Woody the same day. Split “before/after” macros followed immediately on X and Reddit.

Caption tips

  • Always fill exactly two captions — left before, right after.
  • Keep labels in the sky above each Woody; do not cover the hat or the bald spot.
  • Left is the boast; right is the letdown.
  • Top/bottom captions that span both panels
  • Covering the bald crown — that is the joke
  • Swapping left/right roles
