The encyclopedia is wrong. I was there when it happend.

His origin is 4chan's 3rd birthday where every first post in a thread on /b/ had a party hat on top. The OP drew a stick figure in a guy-fawks mask and posted it in attempt to place the party hat on top of the figure's head. The figure was facing the incorrect direction however, and the party hat was not on his head (fail). After failing hard from the start, the OP attempted to fix his error by facing the character the other direction saying, "oops, lets try that again". Of course only the first post recieves the party so the OP had failed once again. Posters to follow laughed at OP's folly and declared his post to be an epic fail. Thus naming the character "Epic Fail Guy".

Until someone tells/proves EFG was around before 4chan's third B'day. This is declared to be fact.

This sounds plausible to me and aligns well with my earliest encounters with EFG.

Holy shit, I remember that, I had no clue that was when it all began, thought he was a previous meme when I saw that.
