The Diary 30: Superman Is Coming to School / Diary 31: Humiliation meme is derived from a series of satirical comic panels that use a childlike diary format to tell a story of extreme hype followed by devastating disappointment. The first panel captures a moment of pure innocence and excitement—the anticipation of a hero’s arrival at school. The second panel, titled Humiliation, subverts those expectations by showing the hero in a compromised, pathetic, or utterly defeated state. It has become a staple of Expectation vs. Reality humor, widely used by internet users to describe situations where a highly anticipated event, product, or person fails to live up to the hype in the most embarrassing way possible.
