The former was shot on 16 February 2006, then resized with Photoshop in 2011.

Here’s a copy that’s slightly cropped but contains EXIF data.

Meanwhile the oldest occurrence that I was able to find of the latter is here:

User named Grinchy posted it on 9 November 2011 with the following comment:
>My grandma bought me a PS2 and my uncle took this pic of me as I opened it. I told them not to post it online since my hair was messed up but oh well it's out there anyway.

It’s very hard to track its history from that point on but its presence exploded all over the world in regions as distant as Russia, China and South America. I’m unable to explain such an international explosion.

Example: http://photo.huanqiu.com/funnypicture/2013-04/2689158_8.html
>你永远也想不到的超爆笑抓拍瞬间(8/34)
Meaning:
>Beyond imaginable: super funny captures of a moment (8/34)

Similar case.

It also turned out to be a composite: of this picture and some other one.

>гы гы гы))))))))OO, кaк cмищнo)))хДДД
Meaning:
>hyh hyh hyh :-)))))), how funny :-))))))))

Associated meme:
>When you're getting roasted so hard all you can do is mock their laugh.

Weirdly enough, a bigger version of the searched image was posted 3 months ago (over 4 years after its oldest appearance on the Internet): https://imgur.com/gallery/iEAZZOd

>>95357
Well, either that image isn't of me or Grinchy is not telling the truth. I'm 90% sure it's me though
>a 9 year old looking kid
>caring about how his hair looks
That doesn't add up.

>>95384
Do you know that Grinchy guy?

You should also ask the poster of this latest, uncropped version on ImgUr. He must be close to the source. His account:
https://imgur.com/user/ThinPrivilege

EXIF suggests it was scanned from analog photo rather than shot by a digital camera. But my interpretation could be entirely wrong.

Two more occurences of the latest, uncropped release:

http://teenteraste.com/2016/02/06/15-cosas-que-solo-sabras-si-tienes-hermanos-increible/

...on Spanish websites. Very strange. Where do they get these images from?

>>95388
I don't know him nor use neogaf
is there any exif on >>95394 ?

>>95397
No EXIF there. However there’s some strange EXIF on >>95376, which I interpret as a film scanner. I could be wring though.

>>95398
>I could be wring though.
I could be wrong though.*

I have a theory: some meme images create and post themselves ex nihilo, without human help, when nobody is looking.

By year 2020, we may witness the rest of this image, even less cropped.

>>95398
Perhaps he ran the image though one of those meme-captioning websites or an app the adds captions which gave it that exif.

>the word 'roasted'
>which is a word normies use
>normies don't know how to use a computer let alone open MSpaint
>install some sketchy app on there iphone to caption images
>sketchy app was probably quickly thrown together by some Chinese hacker to also harvest personal data or the normies
>app adds some strange data to the image

I'm probably talking out of my ass at this point. Have we reached a dead end in our search?

>>95409
Nice. I couldn’t come up with better theory.

A detail from the said EXIF:
>Technology: Cathode Ray Tube Display
LOL.

>Have we reached a dead end in our search?
I have.

In theory, we could try to contact those four sources: Grinchy, ThinPrivilege and two Spanish posters.

I’m just curious about the mechanics of this all.

Grinchy seem like our best bet, maybe it IS him and this is all just a misunderstanding but I doubt it since it's cropped. Do you want to do the honors? I wouldn't know what to say

Also he says
>but oh well it's out there anyway.
Could that imply that that isn't the first time it was posted and it was already viral before 2011?

>>95432
I’m leaving the Internet for two days. Travel.

I'm really fascinated by all this. I am sometimes used as reaction image on /int/ and have seen other pics of people I know

I have basic Internet access now. Can't type much due to shitty input device.

>>95652
And you have no idea how your photograph has even entered the Internet?

>>95432
Grinchy is a 5 years old account. I would be surprised if it still were in use. I would try nonetheless but I'm away from my proper computer for a few days.

>>95410
She's a living kanji symbol.
A typeface.
What's her Unicode number?

>>95432
And yes, this implies that it had been a minor meme already before 2011. Albeit too small one to be detectable now.
