What is the Seal of Approval meme?
Seal of Approval puts the blissful seal photo to work as an old-school advice animal: a fluffy grey seal shot so close its face fills the frame, eyes shut, muzzle bunched into a contented grin. The name is a pun, since the seal literally hands out its approval to whatever the caption describes. Classic entries read like tiny diary confessions of a perfect moment, delivered in the two-line setup and payoff style of 2010s image macros. The seal's smug calm makes even a gross or petty win sound like a refined pleasure.
Origin: The photograph was uploaded to Flickr in 2007 and was later captioned as an advice animal on sites like Reddit, where the gratifying-moment captions earned it the punny Seal of Approval name.
Also known as: Satisfied Seal, Approval Seal.
How to use the Seal of Approval meme
Write the situation in the top box and the rewarding detail in the bottom box, in the clipped style of classic advice animals: "first wipe" / "clean toilet paper", "cold side of the pillow" / "both sides". No punctuation needed.
The captions that do best are oddly satisfying experiences everyone knows but rarely says out loud. Slightly gross or embarrassingly petty is fine; that contrast with the dignified seal is part of the appeal. Since the pun is approval, you can also use it to formally endorse something: a fix, a recipe, a teammate's play.
