About the Are You Serious Face Meme

A stark black-and-white illustration: one eyebrow arched toward the ceiling, mouth hanging open just enough to signal that the brain behind it has hit a wall. The expression is frozen at the exact moment between hearing something stupid and deciding whether to respond. Based on a real screencap of David Silverman during a Fox News interview, the traced illustration strips all context away and leaves nothing but pure, undiluted "are you serious right now."

Based on a screencap of atheist activist David Silverman during a 2011 Fox News interview with Bill O'Reilly. His incredulous expression, one eyebrow raised, mouth slightly agape, was traced into a high-contrast black-and-white illustration and absorbed into the rage comic ecosystem. The face became the default reaction to hearing something so dumb it physically hurts. For pure silent shock, see Mother Of God (awestruck disbelief). For a more modern take on confused disbelief, Confused Nick Young fills the same role with question marks.

How to Make a Are You Serious Face Meme

  1. Are You Serious Face is loaded with that signature raised eyebrow ready to judge
  2. Top text sets up the absurd claim or stupid statement. Bottom text delivers the "Are you serious?" reaction, though you can swap in your own disbelief
  3. The wide landscape orientation means horizontal text fits naturally. Short, punchy captions look best across this format
  4. White Impact with black outlines stays faithful to the rage comic roots. Bump the font size up since the image is wider than it is tall
  5. Disbelief captured. Hit Download for a PNG or Copy it straight into any group chat where someone just said something indefensible
