What is the The Cooler Daniel meme?
The Cooler Daniel is a photo of a school yearbook page with two portraits of the same young man side by side on orange backgrounds. In the left photo he smiles normally; in the right photo he wears dark sunglasses and a deadpan expression. In the original the left caption read "Daniel" and the right one "The cooler Daniel", which turned it into a way to show an upgraded, more effortlessly cool version of anything. Here the caption strip is left blank so you can write both names.
Origin: A photo of the yearbook page was uploaded to 9GAG in September 2013 and spread quickly as an exploitable.
Also known as: Cooler Daniel, Daniel and the Cooler Daniel, The Cooler X.
How to use the The Cooler Daniel meme
The left box goes under the plain portrait: the normal version of something. The right box goes under the sunglasses portrait: the cooler version, traditionally written as "The cooler ...".
Use it for small upgrades that change everything: a phone in a case versus without, a sandwich versus the same sandwich toasted, a homework file named final versus final_v2. Keep the two names nearly identical so the sunglasses do all the work.
