Original characters

[edit]
  • Aww Yea Guy: With his head thrown back cheering and drawn-out catchphrase, Aww Yea Guy is used to show huge triumph.[2]
  • Cereal Guy: Usually used to show strong skepticism, Cereal Guy is a person with wide eyes spitting his cereal across the table.[1]
  • Forever Alone: A sad man who tries to be happy for other people, Forever Alone shows a smiling man with tears running down his face.[1] He was used in a Sony Ericsson ad and has become an advice animal in addition to his life as a rage face.[3][4]
  • Fuck Yea: The polar opposite of Forever Alone, Fuck Yea is used to show triumph, often at the littlest victories.[1][5]
  • Herp Derp: The guy that no one wants to be around, Herp Derp is usually either dense or self-centered, and has a perpetually dumb look on his face to match.[1]
  • Herp, Derp, Herpina, and Derpina: The general characters of rage comics, these four (first two male, second two female) usually represent the author or an innocent bystander.[6]

  • I Lied: A blue rage face created on Reddit in 2011, I Lied is used to show, well, a liar. He's usually used in the same vein as Neil DeGrasse Tyson (see below) in terms of a follow-up to something really inconsequential. When there's two I Lied faces, one is often red and called Strawberry Guy.[3]
  • Me Gusta: A man smiling very strangely, Me Gusta is usually used to show perverse and/or mundane satisfaction.[1][3][7]
