the fact that he intentionally took a bad photo but not for the reason of becoming famous makes it so much better
Ironically, he was the class clown.
Butterfly effect amirite?
I was your 1000 like!
What a freaking hero lmao
But did he intentionally take a bad photo or was it a real photo and he was embarrassed and made up the whole "I'm a prankster" story to save face?
We all thought we were laughing at him, when in reality, he was trolling all of us.
that’s just what he wants us to think
@@gamingforlife2232 bad luck brian was an inside job
Yes
He’s making money off of the meme too
@@Dezeberbro
How
Imagine seeing your son on t-shirts of unknown people
Lmao
well-said.
😳.
Hahaha yeah, I wonder how was her reaction
Your pfp
We were all thought we were laughing at him but really, we were laughing WITH him.
And that's a good thing. 😊😊
It makes it so much better tbh 😂
Lol ye
Im happy we were laughing with em. During those days where everyones dad on xbox live was the ceo of microsoft.
He didn't choose the meme life, the meme life chose him
so.. does this count as bad luck brian or good luck brian?
@@kellenmoon3084 both maybe
Not really...
I guess it's like that for almost all the meme people :(
@@beezleboss2099 why the sad face, that’s amazing
This man is still proud of that veggie piñata.
Lmqo
Who wouldn't. He and his friend pranking his class, if not, his whole school. That for me though that was some kind of unique achivement you got there to be remembered.
Lol
LMAO
I mean who wouldn’t hell i still have fond memories of me and my buddies pranking my entire school
The fact that he was aware of memes before he was transformed into one makes his story more amazing.
If you played online video games on pc anytime between 2001-2010, you would’ve saw memes even then, I actually feel that’s what started them
@@plissken94th57 Something Awful was founded in 1999
yea man i go way back wit memes....played things like starcraft back in 98. Diablo 1 even b4 that. "All your base are belong to us"
Bad luck brian: *wants bad luck*
The universe: nahh

I think this is the first "internet meme" who was actually pretty happy about his internet fame, but like HOW WEIRD was that for his mom to see her son randomly on some t-shirt!
Its ironic how the bad luck brian meme guy is the one to enjoy his internet fame haha
LMAO IKR
Nope
The old man Harold (the one Internet Historian used for his profile picture) enjoyed his Internet fame. He even got TED Talk at some point
HAHAHA CAN U IMAGINE
He's more proud of that veggie piñata than his meme popularity
Vegetable piñata = helth
Yea forsure is way more proud of the veggie piñata
for your health
@@transit000 indeed
For real though that veggie pinata prank is legendary trolling.
The history behind this meme makes it so much better. This dude accidentally trolled the whole world.😂😂😂
Excuse me, I'm curious about the weird friend that leaves him weird voicemails
YESS LOL
I love how we all glazed over this 😭😭😭😭😭
like fr whats up with that haha took his pic and memed him outta the blue just like that
Ikr that friend sounds so interesting and funny
I love it.
Homeboy is rich because when he was in high school he wanted to be funny on picture day.
What a life

I'm SO weirdly relieved to know he's ok with it all lmao
I don’t think it’s weird to be relieved that he’s ok with it.
It's his buissness now
It's his buissness now
It's his buissness now
It's his business now
The photo’s not even that bad, if the principal called him back for that, I don’t know what she would’ve done to me 😂
FRR
When I was a junior, picture day was during homecoming dress up week, and that day was Walt Disney Wednesday. Had a classmate dress as Kuzco from the Emperor’s New Groove, and she didn’t change for the picture. It made the yearbook.
I lost it when he said he's in a museum in Switzerland 😭😭
I lost it when he said he went to the Playboy Mansion, I'm so jealous.
@@superghost6 This man has just lived a life we all hope for.
@@R4derx2735 n from a school picture day he trolled in
Most meme people: I was harassed all day, it was horrible
This legend: lol it was amazing
ya for real though
He's obviously lying
Ok
@@samatar6852 ok?
@@bccbasketball4649 ok
He seems like he's actually happy about it lol
Yeah he's prob made a few million about this
He literally said that he has no regrets about that😂
Of course. It worked In his favor!
true
🤣🤣🤣
Why I thought this picture was taking in the 80’s or something 😂
It does
Taken*
Me toooo it looks like it
The purple background and the jumper make it look older
for real 😭
Bad Luck Brian: **has good luck irl**
Everyone: WAIT THAT'S ILLEGAL
Lmao😂
Dana White?
I don’t understand why his principal didn’t like the picture? I don’t see anything wrong with it
He looks high
@@arryyam1 you’re right, I guess I never noticed it lol. I just always thought he has a bad smiling face 😄
As an alum of the same school- she was a miserable human and there’s nothing more to it haha
@@kw1535 hahahahaha, I couldn’t ask for a better answer 😂
@@kw1535 wow what back stories you get when you are in UA-cam, reading comments! 😁
Thanks for the insight
I'm glad to learn that the photo was a joke in the first place, and not someone's serious school photo that might make them feel bad for looking a certain way when turned into a meme. Anyway, by college don't we usually get a laugh out of our old school photos? Glad he had a good attitude about the whole thing!
Lol, nope, I'm still not laughing about my senior yr photo! 😄
That’s what he wants you to believe!;)
The ERMAGERD nerd girl was also a planned photo! The more you know
This behavior was common back then, all my high school yearbook photos are a joke. I never let my parents see or buy the photos.
I’m disappointed as hell. I had always assumed that it made him feel terrible about himself, and that made me feel better about myself.
the most beautiful thing on this is that he did it for his homies
I want a friend like Ian. Calling me middle of the night to talk about conspiracies
PM your number then, I'd do that
omfg same
I do that
but not every night, it would be tiring
2007!? I always thought the picture was taken in the 90s😂
Agree 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It doesn't look anything like 07.
Though 80s
Same 😂
He went out to buy clothes as if they were from the 90s
Ikr
Who would’ve thought Bad Luck Brian was a real life troll/prankster. I love it! 😂
I really thought he was the kind of nerd & bullied student 😂😂 glad to know he's a clown student 😂😂😂
@@nadeeyaakira me too lol, i thought "this guy cant have similarities to me".
I was wrong, he's one of us 😂 in fact I think he's superior in many aspects lol
Dude's a fkn pioneer in meme culture. Made the picture on purpose to meme with his boys, and his boys decided to let us all in on it. Thanks Ian and Kyle!
I remember the holy trinity: Bad Luck Brian, Good Guy Greg, and Scumbag Steve.
I'm glad that they reached out to him because I was one of those people that was like, "That poor guy, they just took his picture and made memes out of it probably against his will." Knowing he did it as a joke intentionally years before memes were really a thing makes it alright.
Meee toooo! I always felt bad for him. I feel so much better now knowing the backstory!
@@NNic. you think we was trolling him, but no him was trolling us :v
@@pak3ton Yup! 🙂😁😄
I never felt bad for him lmao. Save that for the mfs who need it
@@pak3ton9
Teachers ask him to do a piñata
*Fills it up with veggies*
Yes
You are perfect for this video
@@hokonotpotlol9010 i was hoping for this comment😂 i was like how has no-one said anything- 😂
Haha classic Brian!
Exactly
Most honest and down to earth guy and fact teller
I love his evil laugh mid way through this.
lmfaooooo I'm crying what was so bad about the pic that the principal made him retake it??
Seemed like a 1980s picture in 2000s lol
The principal was probably jealous because they didn’t have friends
Imagine what it was like to be the photographer unknowingly at the time taking a picture that would become one of the most legendary pictures on the internet.
i’ve never thought about that before really
@@lilithjade4363 did you take the photo?
I feel like they must have realised they took the picture of the meme when they first saw it. Weird to think about it.
@@ChrisBrown-fg7sboh my god it’s her
I like this series because it humanizes the people behind the memes.
Exactly. We forget these memes are actual people.
Yes!
Agree!!!
As if they are not humans
There not humans there legends
LOL i like that he was trolling and got that famous. And even better is, that he has the humor and likes it. 👏🏾😂
The internet called him Bad Luck Brian, but Life had other plans
You don't choose to become a meme, the meme chooses you.
🤣🤣🤣yup!
Apparently so...
Internet community choose you
Making him retake the picture is the most school thing I can think of “How dare you have fun, I’m not putting that in my yearbook! Go retake it and look miserable to be here!”
I didn't understand why the principal told him he had to retake the picture...what was wrong with the first one? The back color maybe?
@@vcassol6989 cause the principal knew it was a joke photo
@@JasonZakrajsek thank you for your answer! 🙂
That’s how kids and teenagers turn into adults, and is why a human society is a bit more advanced than a chimpanzee community.
So true! 👏👏👏
"I was a bad student" not what I would've guessed
Why does his first high school picture look like pete davidson
They both looked a lil mixed lol
He's a really good luck Brian now
Yes
Yes
here too
Wtf you again.. jobless youtuber
I'm done-
Dude you're EVERYWHERE
I am glad he is actually Good Luck Kyle in Real life.
Lmaaaoo. Underrated comment

"I am in a museum in Switzerland" 😂
He’s lucky because he’s so positive! He sees the good in everything. Class. Great video.
Mhm.
**claps**
imagine being a mother and seeing your students wearing your sons face on their shirt calling him “bad luck brian”
Yeah that would be weird
I would be SO upset lol, buuut my son is only 4 so it might not be so bad if he was in college when it all happened AND the photo was a clear prank.
To Kyle who loves to be that one clown in class, he'd probably be happier than ever but i think I'd understand what a parent would thought at first glance 😂
This is honestly a kind of beautiful story. He loves his life ❤️
His attitude surrounding this is absolutely amazing 😂
Imagine you're a teacher and one day out of the blue one of your students walks in the class wearing a shirt with your sons face on it
I don't know if I would be proud or not
🤣🤣🤣
So that grin of his never really was "Bad Luck Brian", it was actually "Pranking Brian" ..
This changes everything
i never understood in the first place lol.
He sounds so humble, and like a great guy!
This guy is just a bundle of good vibes.
Brian got some meme
*and some bad luck*
Good Luck Brian
heeeey, i seen you somewhere!
He got pretty successful from it
Vainglory?
wtf i don't get why they would make him retake it lol. it honestly just looks like a normal school photo
It looks like he was crying. So not really.
It’s because of our high school principal. I went to the same high school as Kyle and our principal was not a fan of practical jokes. Since she knew it was a prank, she made him redo the pic
His eyes were pink and puffy, they probably thought he looked high
Cristina Romero it’s a lie i think you went to florida state high school if I remember well lolol
Andr jsja N I don’t know who you are, but I do know my name is fairly common! Probably mistook me for another Cristina you know! Easy mistake!
the best one ive read goes:
*gets a call from girl saying*
*"come over, no one is home"*
*gets to house and no one is there*
Actually chuckled, that's a good one!
I really appreciate this series as it allows us to get a behind the scenes look at these viral memes. We actually get to see and listen to the people and learn the backstory to how it as created after all these years. I also can’t believe the Bad Luck Brian meme is about to be a decade old.
Gets called in for an interview
Its BuzzFeed

Underrated
Underrated fr...
Top tier
This guy is real cool and actually had friends in school
first reply
I love how he's so positive and happy.
I love when they are the active part of the joke rather than when someone innocent is used to make fun of. This one he should be proud of and glad he made the money.
He seems like a cool person that hasn't let the fame get to his head.
I wanna be his friend
I don’t think this is the kind of fame that goes to a person’s head.
That’s not good hot topic was selling his face on a shirt without permission first. But thank god he got with an IP lawyer and took control of his image. Smart
I remember when that happened and I was curious if he owned his own face?
His outlook and joy, combined with his parent's foresight makes this the happiest meme video ever. His prank picture is still bringing joy to people years later.
He did kind of create the meme himself though... Same with overly attached girlfriend and ermahgerd among others, they achieved what they were trying to do, making a joke, it just got a little out of hand. Imagine the first guy to make a knock knock joke...
He looks like someone put Pete Davidson in the microwave for too long.
don't you mean not long enough? as I guy with melanin I can definitively say ... he ain't got it!
R/rareinsults but why would reddit make fun of its old memes?
@@tejaswivemulapati287 when someone says this it just means he looks distorted as microwaves don't really darken the things you cook in it. And that's all I meant. Pete davidson is pretty white as well.
Omg! 🤣
i lol and i never do that
The fact that the picture was on purpose is pure gold, makes it way more funny to me 😂
Mad respect for actually deliberately making that picture happen.
You gotta respect how much he's willing to humiliate himself to make people laugh.
"...and i made it my Facebook profile picture"
Me: ahh there it is the moment the internet got i hold of it
That wasn't the moment... but ok
@@nipun056 It wasn't the moment it became famous, no, but it was the moment the internet got it. Not the same thing.
K
I USED TO FEEL SO BAD ABOUT THIS GUY BUT THANK GOD IT WAS A JOKE LMAO
Same here, actually!
This guy lives up to the legend.
Shows himself.
During pandemic.
😂
Anyone can film themselves
"In real life, I actually have great luck." Wtf? I want some of that.
@Junjun not all people watch tv lmao
@Junjun I can't find it anywhere or maybe I don't know what I'm looking for. Link me please?
Dang it that's cool
@Junjun Fine German Engineering
I literally read this the exact time he said that
Next I accidentally became a meme: Scumbag Steve
@Emerald Beauty that does not make him a good person🤦🏾♀️
@Outlaw FTW a?
Yeah I heard he got some problems because of this foto, I hope he is OK now
There's interviews out there with him . Also watch wavywebsurf he talks about the origin of every viral video and memes
@@moderndayentertainment5812 here we go again 🥱 so obsessive over black lives that aren’t even checking for you. stop making politics your only personality trait and loosen up.
So you're telling me that there is an original picture of bad luck brian..?
Imagine how much that's worth now
Kyle, I love your smile that moment. So trolling and so good.
One of the GOD FATHERS of the internet memes. Never forgotten.
never forgetti

I'm dying. He is so funny and seems like a really good guy, explaining the whole event with such evolvment. Feel I'm there myself
No no, I think when we all agreed to call him "Bad Luck Brian", Lady Luck just took pity on him and gave him good luck on all those sweepstakes.
Not the story I wasn't expecting, but I'm so happy I assumed wrong! Great sense of humour man!
Love his sense of humor. He must be so much fun to be around. You can’t truly have fun until you can laugh at yourself
Zmmsmzj99999
I was genuinely worried that this poor guy had been picked on mercilessly but now it almost feels wholesome because it was a joke originally 😂
He is such a cool guy and so chill
Congratulations on all your wins bud.. keep on keeping in bad luck Bryan.
the photo itself really isn’t THAT bad, why did the principal make him retake it?
Because they knew he was prankin from the getgo!
Because they knew immediately it was a prank photo...He was a class clown Im sure the principal kept an eye out for him
@@TahtahmesDiary This.
teachers actually start to become more dominant over the class clowns
Yes it is! Lol
...but no one has explained what the problem actually is...
It's his picture, it only represents him - if that's what he wants, so what if it was a prank? Who was harmed? What damage was done? Since when were pranks inherently "bad"?
Hell, it's self depreciating at most
Bad luck Brian:
*PARENTS GET DIVORCED*
Neither wants custody....
This was such a great time in life man. Love the days of these classic memes.
I’m happy that he feels grateful.
Actually buzz feed managed to get all the guys who were meme famous
"...Scratch off tickets"
**shows shows someone scratching the code to their gift card**
Buys winning scratch off ticket...
...Is actually a gift card
That’s so comforting
this guy is a legend, and I am sure his life will get even better for him in the future
he slid "my overly attached girlfriend" in and pretended we wouldn't notice LOL
"For retakes you have to return the original photo so obviously I took it and scanned it into my computer and used it as my Facebook profile picture" Dude is a legend
2:29 Hey not a big deal, but I made you internet famous 😂
It really isn't a big deal
The fact that his family found out through merch is great. Also i’m glad he took it lightly instead of being really bummed about it
Wow this made me realize how actually powerful the internet is. Like damn he was on t-shirts met with celebraties which I don't even know how it happened, he had other merch, met other meme stars etc. This dude actually had a "career" from like a joke picture he did
Λινάτσα
He seems very kind too! He deserves all the luck and charmed life he got in real life.
Damn, it’s crazy how the meme would crack me up back in the day bro 😂 it’s good to hear him had good vibes with it and it’s so cool to see him now. Cool guy
Who else loves this series? Like to keep this serious going
Teacher had no business telling him he can't put his original photo in the yearbook. Smh
Principals are often uppity
