# Diary 30: Superman Is Coming to School 'Diary 30: Superman Is Coming to School' and 'Diary 31: Humiliation' are two vlogs YouTuber Daxflame posted on March 2, 2007, with the first showing him bragging about wearing a Superman costume to impress a classmate named Sophia and the second returning hours later to call it the most humiliating day of his life. By 2016, Redditors on r/me_irl were pairing the two thumbnails side-by-side as a before-and-after joke, and TikTok edits layering Pedro Pascal reactions over the pair hit millions of views in 2021. ## Origin Daxflame, a teen vlogger known on early YouTube for his awkward, exaggerated performances, uploaded 'Diary 30: Superman Is Coming to School' on March 2, 2007[1]. He enthusiastically explained his plan to wear a Superman costume to class so a girl named Sophia could admire his muscles, promising he and Sophia would be dating by the end of the day. Hours later that same day, Dax posted 'Diary 31: Humiliation,' detailing how the stunt turned into what he called the most embarrassing day of his life, with the twist that his school's celebrity costume day was actually scheduled for the following Friday[2]. - **Platform:** YouTube (origin), Reddit and TikTok (viral spread) - **Creator:** Daxflame - **Date:** 2007 ## Overview Side-by-side placement of the two YouTube thumbnails forms the core of the meme. On the left, teenage Daxflame beams proudly in a blue Superman costume, convinced his crush will fall for him[1]. On the right, the same costume reappears but Dax looks defeated after the plan backfired at school[2]. Meme-makers lift the two thumbnails and set them next to each other as a before-and-after template for any plan that goes catastrophically wrong. Captions typically label the first image with an ambitious intention and the second with the humiliating outcome.
