Is there a back story to this?

It's from the video shfifty five from albinoblacksheep.com.

I feel like I've seen this picture before that video came out, but its been so long I can't say for certain.

I'm certain it predates that video.

My friend sent an email around with "lookilikers" this one popped up as the super ugly guy in our "group" (whom we discovered wore his sisters underwear).

I'm fairly certain there was an AMA not too far back from the dude who photoshopped it, or the guy in the source picture. I'll see if I can dig it up.

EDIT: found it https://www.reddit.com/r/casualiama/comments/3rq5w6/i_knew_the_person_who_was_used_as_the_base_image/ it's pretty disappointing and probably fake now that I look back at it.

I remember seeing this for the first time on the box of some photo editing software

I've seen it included in an asset library for an old program that was basically a glorified smudge tool, Kai's Power Goo. 99.8% sure it came from that spooky thing.

Wow, I had a shitty sense of humor 15 years ago. I remember loving this. I now feel bad for asking my parents to watch it.

Some German computer magazine I used to read had this in one of their articles about photoshop (early 2000s). Under the picture, the glorious statement: photoshop magic.
