The 'Why Doesn't Mine Look Like That' meme originates from the 1999 episode of The Simpsons titled 'Mom and Pop Art,' where Homer attempts to build a DIY barbecue pit called 'Le Grille.' After failing spectacularly to assemble the kit, resulting in a mangled pile of bricks and hardware, he screams in frustration while comparing his mess to the perfect picture on the box. This template has become the definitive way to represent the 'Expectation vs. Reality' trope across the internet. It is widely used to mock failed cooking attempts, coding bugs, or any situation where a final product looks nothing like the intended tutorial or vision.
