# Pretty Cool Guy "Pretty Cool Guy" started as a typo-ridden 4chan post on December 3, 2007, praising Master Chief from Halo in broken English[1]. The mangled phrase, especially the line "doesnt afraid of anything," became a snowclone template that /b/ users swapped onto countless other characters and franchises[1]. ## Overview "Pretty Cool Guy" is a snowclone template built around a broken-English shout of approval for a character or subject[3]. The formula plugs a franchise or character into a fixed pattern: X is a pretty cool guy, Y does Z and doesnt afraid of anything, where X is the subject, Y is the pronoun matching their gender, and Z is whatever they are famous for[1]. The intentional misspellings and grammar mistakes are load-bearing. "Doesnt afraid of anything," the missing space, and the sincere-fanboy tone all trace back to the original post, and stripping them out kills the joke[3]. Fans applied the template to video game protagonists, cartoon characters, sports figures, and even inanimate objects, treating any subject as a candidate for the same over-earnest praise[1]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Pretty Cool Guy?
