Updated
The wave was for somebody behind you, the joke arrived a beat late or the chat went suddenly quiet. Choose an awkward reaction for a small social mishap. A little self-directed humour can acknowledge the moment and help a familiar conversation move on.
When to send these memes
Keep these for ordinary embarrassment with people who share your humour. When someone was actually hurt, send a clear acknowledgement and address what happened.
Make the tone fit your conversation
Aim the caption at your own timing or social buffering. Avoid turning another person into the joke, especially in a large group where the context can disappear.
