Do you know the meme faces rage comics? They express rage (of course!), but also some other simple emotions like crying, fear, boredom, you know, the whole spectrum. They’re very recognizable because they have the same pattern: a set of pre-made cartoon meme faces that have spread through the meme world and became part of it.
Ars Technica named the rage comics an “accepted and standardized form of online communication”. Actually, they are part of our Internet world and a very useful way to express and transmit emotions through our dear blue screens.
They are also relatable and humorize experiences that almost everybody goes through. They are even used to teach English as a foreign language.
With them all over the internet, it’s hard not to wonder how they came to be. Well, the first rage comic appeared on 4chan in 2008.
It was composed of a 4-panel strip showing somebody’s anger at being splashback on the toilet. It showed a face zoomed-in with what we now know as The Rage Guy screaming “FFFFFUUUUUU”. From here on, it was reposted, modified, adapted and everything is history! Scroll down for a memory refresh!
How can you recognize this rage meme:
- It usually contains the familiar rage face
- It is usually very sarcastic to the point of being insulting
- It is always a very simple, basic and poorly made drawing of the figure
