More about this meme
Trollface (also known as Coolface) was drawn by Oakland-based deviantArt artist Carlos Ramirez (Whynne) in September 2008 as part of an MS Paint webcomic about the pointless nature of trolling on 4chan's /v/ board. The image rapidly spread across 4chan, Reddit's f7u12 subreddit, and Tumblr as the universal emoticon of an internet troll, often paired with the caption "Problem?" It spawned dozens of rage comic characters and formats, making it one of the most recognized images of early internet culture. The character experienced a viral resurgence in 2020 through ironic meme contexts and in 2025 had its IP licensed for a Solana meme coin.
