This well-dressed gentleman was the right way to make a good point for a while. He was always ready to take over the world of stereotypes with an amusing bait and switch phrase. Who was he in reality? Reddit initiated an investigation when a user claimed to have seen him in a college textbook. Brief Calculus: An Applied Approach, 9th edition, was used as evidence. The original photo was later identified as being from a Shutterstock model photoshoot! The thread was then spotted by a buddy, who determined that the false businessman was an electrical engineer and a Texas bodybuilding competition. Who could have predicted what happened down that rabbit hole?

Oh, and bad luck as well. Brian never gets old! Except in real life, of course. The passage of time is unstoppable! Kyle Craven is the name of the real-life viral superstar. He now works in the construction industry. Even though it has been a long time since graduation, the meme master is now growing out of his uncomfortable phase. The majority of people can move on from the look that is always so wonderfully achieved in the American high school yearbook. What about Kyle, though? For all eternity, I’ll be mocked!
