What crying meme templates are there?
The most-used crying templates in memecub's library are the two crying cat images (a black-and-white cat covering its mouth, and a white cat with watery eyes close to the camera), the Crying Wojak wearing a Chad mask, and Crying Newton. For a softer sad mood, Sad Cat works better than a full sob. Pick by intensity: quiet disappointment, loud sobbing, or crying while pretending to be fine.
Send it when you are trying not to cry in public, paw over mouth and teary eyes.
The close-up watery-eyed cat for a slow, quiet cry at something small and sad.
Crying Wojak in a Chad mask: for crying on the inside while acting totally fine.
Crying Newton for dramatic tears over a problem that is actually simple.
Sad Cat lying on the sofa: the low-energy sad reaction when you are just deflated, not sobbing.
A text-based sad joke for when you want the crying feeling without a face.
Which crying template fits which moment
Quiet, holding-it-in tears: the black-and-white cat with a paw over its mouth (huh0kr3t9a9d). It reads as trying not to cry, which fits group chats and work channels better than a full sob.
Open sadness: the white cat close to the camera (hhc5v4048y2d) is the classic watery-eyes face. Use it for bad news that is small, like a canceled plan or a sold-out item.
Crying but pretending to be fine: Crying Wojak wearing a Chad mask (u7h62x0d68w2). The joke is the gap between the mask and the tears, so it works best with a caption about staying calm.
Dramatic or ironic tears: Crying Newton (4tgu2i99duem) suits overreactions, like crying over a bug you caused yourself.
How to send or make a crying meme
Search memecub for “crying” or “sad”, open a template, and copy or download it directly from the site. No sign-up is needed for browsing, copying, or downloading.
Add your own caption in any image editor, or use the AI meme maker at /generate: describe the character, the action, and the caption, or start from a crying template as a reference. It takes about 10 seconds per image and refuses real people.
If you are writing something longer, paste the text into /match and the AI picks a fitting meme for each paragraph, which is handy when you want a crying reaction in the middle of a post.
Most templates are collected from the web, so they are fine for personal chats but copyright stays with the original creators. If you need something for commercial use, turn on the openly licensed filter.
Tone and etiquette
Crying memes land best when the sadness is clearly exaggerated. Sending one after real bad news can read as making fun of the person.
In work chats, stick to the quieter templates like the paw-over-mouth cat. Full sobbing images are better saved for friends.
Pair the image with one short line of text. The template carries the emotion; the caption only needs to say what set it off.

Pick a character, type a caption, get it in about 10 seconds.
