Poker Face depicts a round, crudely drawn face with a completely flat expression, wide open eyes, and a straight-line mouth. The character shows zero emotion despite being in a situation that would normally provoke a strong reaction. It became shorthand for suppressing laughter, embarrassment, or panic in social situations. For a similar \"hiding your true feelings\" format, see Hide The Pain Harold (smiling through pain) or Fake Smile Wojak (forced composure at family events).","format":"classic","howToMake":["Poker Face is loaded and already showing nothing","Top text sets up the situation that should provoke a reaction.

A single horizontal line for a mouth. No eyebrows, no expression, no tells.

Whatever just happened, this face will never acknowledge it.","definition":"A rage comic character with a completely flat, emotionless expression used to represent suppressing a reaction.
