About

Annoying Facebook Girl is an advice animal image macro series featuring a photo of a teenage girl rolling her eyes with her mouth agape, accompanied by a blue and white color wheel background. The overlaid text typically depicts vapid status updates, attention whoring and generally irritating Facebook activity.

Origin

The earliest known image macro (shown left) was posted in an archived 4chan thread titled “Facebook Whore Comics” on June 17th, 2010.[1] The original photo (shown right) was later posted to Reddit[14] on October 2nd, 2011 and received 511 upvotes, although its source or the subject's identity remain unknown.

The stereotype of obnoxious Facebook users has been explored through precedent advice animal characters, most notably Social Networking Dolphin. The character of "Annoying Facebook Girl" also shares some similarities with Musically Oblivious 8th Grader.

Identity

On December 20th, 2011, a thread[10] was posted by Redditor boyann to the /r/funny subreddit titled "I'm currently talking to somebody on Facebook who is best friends with the cover girl for the 'Annoying Facebook Girl' meme. She couldn't be more confused," containing screenshots of a Facebook page with the original Annoying Facebook Girl photo as well as a conversation with someone described as her “best friend.”

The same day, The Daily Dot[11] published an article titled “Annoying Facebook Girl or innocent Internet victim?” in reference to Redditor boyann's thread. Shortly after, Redditor average_fan replied[12] to the thread with a claim that the post was a hoax after investigating Megan’s Facebook profile, asserting that the photos were uploaded a week ago and that Jess’s account was created earlier that month. The screenshots were soon taken down and the post deemed a fake.

In February 2012, several users of the Eastern Illinois University Facebook Meme Page commented on an Annoying Facebook Girl image[22] stating that they knew the girl in the photograph. One of the users linked to photos of herself with the girl in the image macro but they have since been removed.
