AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Nobody Is Born Cool' meme features a four-panel screen capture from the American animated series The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. In these sequential images, the character Hoss Delgado is depicted riding in a car. He talks about how nobody is born cool, except for one person. Hoss then reveals this exception by flipping down his sun visor to show a photograph of an old man, humorously declared as the only person "born cool." This scene has been widely used as an exploitable template where the photograph can be replaced to fit various contexts and punchlines.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated from an episode titled "Irwin Gets a Clue" of the animated series The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, which premiered on Cartoon Network on June 24th, 2005. The specific scene involves Hoss Delgado sharing his thoughts on who is cool by default, using a photograph hidden in his car's sun visor as a visual punchline. This meme gained traction years later as an exploitable format for various online jokes and commentaries. For more details on the episode, refer to the Grim Adventures Wiki.
