He Will Never Have a Girlfriend

He Will Never Have a Girlfriend (alt: "She Will Never Have a Boyfriend") is a series of multi-pane rage comics featuring Cereal Guy's reaction to pre-fame and post-fame comparison photographs of well-known celebrities. The first instance of the image macro^[1] was posted by Reddit user hannahisapalindrome depicting two photos of Gordon-Levitt, one at young age and another one at older age, on February 8th, 2011. The comics typically use the structure of Cereal Guy's reaction to the pre-fame or childhood photograph of a celebrity, followed by Cereal Guy's "food-spitting" reaction to the glamorous photograph of the same celebrity. Prior to this series, unflattering "before-and-after" comparisons of celebrity photographs have been explored on the Korean web in the early 2000s, largely driven by the growth of anti-fan communities.
