(500) Days of Summer is a film many people love for its quirkiness, writing, and music, among other things. It also introduced the side-by-side contrast of Expectation vs. Reality.
Since then, it's become a popular meme concept that people have played around with and, as always, delivered hilarious results. There's also a dedicated subreddit where people share images of their own Expectation vs. Reality moments.
