'Well Yes, But Actually No' Is The Perfect Happy Accident Of A Meme

As you may or may not know, we're huge fans of hilariously erroneous subtitles. Thisclip from 2012's So You Want To Be A Pirate! featured a misquoted subtitle - "Well yes, but actually no" instead of "Good guess, but actually no." It wasn't until this February that a screenshot of the happy accident became a popular meme format on Reddit. The format is incredibly versatile, making way for everything from history memes to anti-vaxx memes. We've put together some of our favorites but you can check outr/dankmemes to find more tasty examples.
