The scrawled black-and-white figure with the screaming face, originally captioned with a string of F's and U's, became the visual standard for the moment something goes catastrophically, humiliatingly wrong after a setup that seemed completely fine. Reddit's r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu (commonly called \"FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU\" or just \"F7U12\") built an entire community around these comics, making Rage Guy one of the foundational images of early Reddit culture. Shares the 2008 4chan DNA with Troll Face, but where Troll Face causes chaos, Rage Guy is the victim of it.","format":"classic","howToMake":["The Rage Guy template is ready.

He experiences them. At full volume.","definition":"The ur-text of internet frustration.
