The failure mode is trying to be funny. The job is to be recognised.

that is exactly what happened to us


that sentence is the entire success condition

A meme works when a reader sees their own week in it. Humour is the delivery, not the payload, and a joke nobody has lived is just a picture with text.

Which makes the research step obvious and usually skipped: the material comes from your support log and your community, because that is where the shared experience is recorded verbatim.

What breaks it in a professional context:

the joke carries the claim a compressed format cannot hold a mechanism. The caption does that work, and it must be sourced.
borrowed community language using an in-joke you have no claim to reads as trespass, and the correction is public.
punching at a person criticise the method, the artifact, the claim. Never the individual.

Where it lands hardest: a frustration everyone in the category has had and nobody has said out loud in a professional voice.
