How to create memes using a Discord bot
Digital communication has evolved beyond text; if you can’t express your point with a perfectly timed visual, you’re missing out. A massive Meme Generator is right at your fingertips!
The digital world lives and breathes through memes, and StartIT just upped the ante. In a recent update, this Discord bot introduced a robust Meme Generator that allows users to turn chat interactions into viral-worthy content instantly. We’ve spent some time testing the limits of these new features, and the level of customization is staggering. The system is smartly divided into two categories: 🎭 Callouts for personal "attacks" (the friendly kind!) and 💡Topics for broader cultural commentary.
Add the StartIT bot to create your own memes
The Callout Series: Direct Interactions
The /callout commands are specifically designed to target and interact with your friends (or rivals) in the chat. These commands are highly personalized because they pull a user’s actual avatar and integrate it directly into the image. Whether you're crowning someone as the "main character" of a bad take or sending them to a digital dungeon, these commands add a layer of visual flair to every interaction.
/callout america
Celebrate peak patriotism by overlaying the American flag over an avatar. Perfect for those "freedom" moments or when someone acts like a true patriot.
/callout cheating
Depict a student shamelessly cheating off a classmate's exam paper. This is the go-to response when you catch someone "borrowing" an original idea or copying a clever message.
/callout communism
Claim something for the collective by overlaying a red Soviet flag onto an avatar. It's the ultimate "Our" meme for when a teammate tries to take solo credit for a group win.
/callout deepfry
Add chaotic energy to an avatar by distorting it with high-contrast filters, glowing eyes, and emojis. This is for those moments of pure internet brain-rot and high-octane shitposting.
/callout devil
Highlight a user's mischievous or outright evil intentions by adding glowing red devil horns to their avatar. Use this when someone suggests a particularly chaotic plan.
/callout fedora
Add a classic fedora to an avatar to mark a "principled" and gentlemanly user. It’s the digital equivalent of saying “M’lady” after someone makes a very specific, nerdy point.
/callout floor
A character tries to avoid something lying on the floor. It perfectly captures the energy of a user doing gymnastics to avoid a specific question or responsibility.
/callout handshake
Show two groups or users finally agreeing on a controversial topic through the legendary epic handshake. Use this to seal a deal or celebrate a rare moment of unity.
/callout headphones
Show that someone is in a good mood or simply not paying attention to the drama by placing sleek headphones on their avatar. The ultimate "vibe check."
/callout jail
Send a user to imaginary jail by placing their avatar behind a set of rusted iron bars. Essential for punishing bad puns or "illegal" opinions.
/callout monster
Reveal that the "hideous monster" under the bed is actually another person's avatar. Use this to reveal who the real villain of the chat is.

/callout note
Pass a digital message by showing a hand holding up a handwritten piece of paper. It’s a more personal way to deliver a short, punchy truth.
/callout obama
The ultimate self-praise meme: showing a person placing a gold medal around their own neck. Perfect for when someone reacts to their own message with "Fact Check: True."
/callout overkill
Mock someone for using a massive, high-powered weapon to solve a tiny or insignificant problem. Use this when a moderator brings a nuke to a knife fight.
/callout poland
Celebrate peak patriotism by overlaying the Poland flag over an avatar. A localized way to show pride or highlight a "Polish Mountain" moment.
/callout salty
Label someone as salty by sprinkling salt crystals over their avatar. The classic response to anyone who is a little too upset about losing an argument.
/callout screams
Call out a noisy or annoying user by putting their avatar on a screaming character. Great for that one friend who types everything in ALL CAPS.
/callout thief
Call out credit theft by depicting a character claiming others' work. Use this when someone posts a meme you literally just shared five minutes ago.
/callout trash
Playfully remove a user from the chat by showing a computer prompt about to empty their avatar into the trash bin. The ultimate "delete this" energy.
/callout wanted
Generates a classic Wild West wanted poster featuring the user avatar and a $5000 reward. Great for calling out someone who has been "missing" from the chat for too long.

/callout youtube
Parody a user by generating a fake YouTube comment featuring their profile and a cringe message. It creates a perfect "screenshot" of a comment section that never happened.
The Topic Series: Reaction & Commentary
The /topic series shifts the focus from the individual to the "vibe" of the conversation. These commands utilize legendary meme templates that have shaped internet culture over the last decade. Instead of modifying an avatar, these commands focus on text-based humor and situational comedy, allowing you to react to the general "state of the world" or specific statements made in the channel.
/topic abandon
Reject a terrible opinion by showing a father abandoning a baby in a dumpster the moment it speaks. Use this when a take is so bad it cannot be saved.
/topic advice
Save humanity with "enlightened" wisdom delivered by an alien lifeform against a cosmic backdrop. Perfect for those "galaxy brain" moments of pseudo-philosophy.
/topic balloon
Show an ineffective attack using a projectile shattering against an indestructible balloon. Use this when someone tries to roast you but the insult just doesn't land.
/topic boo
Highlight a delayed jump-scare where a person stays calm until a ghost says something terrifying. It’s the best way to show that a scary thought finally sank in.
/topic brain
The "Expanding Brain" template. Compare levels of intelligence by highlighting increasingly complex (or increasingly stupid) ideas on a four-panel grid.

Propose a controversial take by showing a man sitting behind the iconic "Change My Mind" sign. This is the go-to for starting a friendly debate.

/topic cry
React to a statement so devastatingly sad (or hilariously pathetic) that a character starts drinking the tears with a straw.

Showcase escalating excitement through the iconic Vince McMahon reaction panels. Perfect for when a product announcement or news update keeps getting better.

/topic godwhy
Show a man panicking and asking "Why, God?" until God gives him a hilariously logical reason to stop complaining.
/topic nothing
Express disappointment or a total lack of content by opening a door to find absolutely nothing behind it. Great for overhyped reveals that fall flat.
/topic plan
The "Gru's Plan" template: present a 3-step strategy that looks great until the character notices the unexpected, disastrous final step.
/topic presentation
Make an announcement or state a hard truth by writing text on a large classroom presentation board. It’s "Ted Talk" energy in a single image.
/topic shit

/topic stupid
Mock a bad take by showing a "good boy" dog ruining a perfect first impression with a foolish speech. Heartbreaking but hilarious.
/topic surprised
React to an obvious, self-inflicted consequence using the classic high-definition shocked Pikachu face. For when someone "fucks around and finds out."
/topic tweet
Share a hot take by generating a realistic Twitter post featuring a selected user. It’s so realistic you’ll have people checking their actual feeds.
/topic walking
Capture the confidence of someone walking into a situation with a bold, disastrous idea in mind. Use this when you know exactly how a situation is going to end.
