Cheems Meme Templates

What is Cheems?

Cheems is the meme name of Balltze, a Shiba Inu from Hong Kong whose owner posted his photo on Instagram in 2017. Reddit's r/dogelore turned him into Cheems in 2019 with the "cheemsburbger" joke – he adds an extra "m" to words – and he became the soft, tired, slightly useless dog next to Swole Doge. Balltze passed away in August 2023, but Cheems lives on everywhere. Tamil meme pages adopted him early, putting his worried, squinting face on Tamil dialogues, office jokes and relationship posts, so there are hundreds of Cheems edits in the Tamil meme world.

What kind of Cheems templates are there?

The templates include plain Cheems for weak, tired or scared reactions, Swole Doge vs Cheems comparisons for then-vs-now posts, Cheems with a laptop for work-from-home and college memes, bonk and baseball-bat Cheems, and Cheems edited into famous Tamil movie scenes. Use them for Monday mornings, salary day, exam prep, gym motivation that lasts one day, and any time you feel small next to someone else.
