# Happy then sad — Meme Lab

Use when good news or initial excitement is immediately reversed by a disappointing qualification.

- What it expresses: A positive first beat turns negative as soon as the missing detail arrives.
- Example: Your manager says Friday is a holiday, then adds that everyone must work Saturday, and the chat posts this two-panel response.
- When not to use it: A friend's mood improves gradually over several weeks; the template expects a sharp same-moment reversal.
