What is the Ryan Gosling And Average Guy Comparison meme?
This is a two-person comparison template showing a visibly ordinary-looking man beside a more polished, confident-looking man. Add short labels above the left and right figures to contrast two people, choices, outcomes, or versions of the same situation. The image is commonly associated with Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell, but it works primarily as a generic average-guy-versus-stylish-guy format.
How the joke works: Label the ordinary or unsuccessful side above the left man and the polished, superior, or desired side above the right man.
Where it comes from
The underlying still appears to come from a promotional or behind-the-scenes image related to Crazy, Stupid, Love., starring Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling. Online meme versions commonly frame the two men as an ordinary person versus an idealized, fashionable, or confident counterpart. The template's precise first viral posting is unclear.
