Epic Handshake
An object-labeling meme based on the exaggerated arm-wrestle handshake from Predator, with captions on each arm and the clasp showing two sides agreeing on something specific.
More about this meme
Epic Handshake (also called the Predator handshake) originates from a 1987 scene where Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch and Carl Weathers' Dillon greet each other with an over-the-top clasp that turns into an arm wrestle. YouTube remixes and parodies circulated for years; by 2018 a watercolor-style illustration of the pose became a standard object-labeling template, with labels on the forearms and hands to show unexpected agreement. TikTok later spawned live-action handshake jokes using the same comedic beat.

alliancehandshake.com fits B2B-meets-meme humor: a blog of "teams that secretly agree" in tech, sports, or gaming, each post ending with an embeddable macro. That keeps content fresh without duplicating the factual history block.
unityhandshake.com could host community challenges (weekly theme, best caption wins), printable conference-room posters with blank labels, and a small API or shareable image link for Discord bots — practical hooks tied directly to the three-part layout.
