About

Disappointed Black Guy is a four-panel reaction image macro that expresses the expectation-reality meme. The format follows the following order: a picture of something the meme the author desires or anticipates juxtaposes a photograph of a happy, excited man. The third panel usually reveals the full picture of the first panel, which is different and unappealing, followed by a picture of the same person, but now with an expression of disappointment or shock.

Origin

On December 28th, 2011, Tumblr [1] user tediferous posted an image of himself excitedly reading a new message and another picture of his disappointed face when he sees the message features a racist slur. Within 10 years, the image has received more than 120,000 notes (shown below).
