Why Rage Comics Just Won't Die

from Know Your Meme · host Know Your Meme

The Trollface was drawn on DeviantArt in 2008, went viral, almost died, came back, almost died again, came back again. In 2026, someone ran him through an AI generator and pranked their teacher with the result, setting off the biggest Rage Comics revival in over a decade. From the original comic to the F7U12 copyright wars to Trollge, schizoposting, and now AI, this is why these characters just won't stay buried.
