I see it all the time but I am curious about what it means, how it was created and its history...


Is it a GAF phenomenon?

4chan

This thread could be brilliant if it was some kind of elaborate troll, but if that's not the case, that's trollface, some meme from 4chan.

4chan

I think, statistically speaking, if you're wondering where a meme originated, you'd best assume it was either 4chan or somethingawful.

Picture that face when I'm trolling you, OP

 

[maxxpower]

Looks like Jim Carrey in The Mask.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

The first and last decent thing they've done.

Pretty much what I picture every time I respond to some fucking moron and someone has to chime in and inform me that I just got "trolled". Fuck off twat.

Nowadays it's more reddit, somethingawful is declining as a source over the past few years.

I'm surprised a patent troll hasn't trademarked all these stick figure memes.

 

[SkyMasterson]

All these origin links are wrong.

It originated in Shenmue!

I think the troll faces are pretty funny; they actually capture emotion pretty well.

It's the jokes that go along with them that are usually terrible.

 

[PigSpeakers]

SO META.

 

[Broder Salsa]

It's cool face guy, I heard he was created by ebaumsworld.

 

[Kapura]

I fucking love this comic. It came about when memes were made in MS paint on 4chan, not photoshop copy-paste reddit bastardisations.

That crying face should be in more 4chan faces memes. I like it

 

[revolverjgw]

Imagine being the guy who created this face. Unsung hero.

edit- oh wait, that link above actually says who made it. Well.

 

[Calculon]

It's based off the rape rodent image apparently:

I'm fairly certain that any similarity is coincidental.

Woah back it up, back it up beep beep beep (beep beep beep? :S).... google has reverse image searching like Tineye?

I just thought it was a drawing based on this toy:

No.

 

[Replicant]

See the face of the woman on the left?

 

[Why would you do that?]

I'm fairly certain that any similarity is coincidental.

No, the creator said in the DeviantArt description that it was his "poor attempt" to draw a face like it.

 

[Equus Bellator Apex]

See the face of the woman on the left?

Such a great thread.

GAF, is it bad that today I saw a truck for North Star food products and my first thought was "You are already fed"
