AboutWhat does the meme depict?
Bad Luck Brian is a meme template that features an image of a blonde teenage boy sporting a plaid sweater vest and braces. In the meme, the boy's awkward, smiling facial expression is paired with captions that depict various unlucky or embarrassing situations.
OriginWho did it first?
The Bad Luck Brian meme originated from a post on Reddit on January 23rd, 2012, by Ian Davies, a long-time friend of Kyle from elementary school. Davies used a yearbook photo of Kyle with the caption "Takes driving test . . . gets first DUI." Although this first attempt gained minimal attention, another variation posted later that same day featured the caption "Tries to stealthily fart in class / shits." This version quickly gained popularity, making it to the front page of the r/adviceanimals subreddit.[1]
