Trollface / Coolface / Problem? (2008)

added Mar 12, 2009 at 05:00PM UTC

part of a series on Trolling

Problem?

The Trollface image first originated as a MSPaint comic about the essentially pointless nature of trolling on 4Chan’s /v/ made by a DeviantArt user named Whynne on September 19th 2008. In his post Whynne states that he was attempting to draw a comic character known as Rape Rodent

The face has been chopped out & re-used:


Because of this video, many commonly refer to Trollface as Coolface.

Today, posting a Trollface image into a thread is commonly used as a way of saying, “I’ve been trolling you this whole time.” This is sometimes viewed as a cop-out on the part of the OP.

When a Trollface is posted in a response to a message, while sometimes accusitory, is also often trolling in its self.

I think there should be a link to the comic page.

He was actually trying to draw Rape Rodent.

Well, that’s kinda tricky.
Although the act of “trolling” itself may not be a difinite meme, there are a ton of successful and well-known trolls out there, ranging from the likes of Boxxy to Mr. Fetch.

Coolface, though, is the archetype of trolling, as well as the recognized symbol. Definitely a meme.

But whether we should have an entire page dedicated to trolling meathods and famous trolls… Idk. I guess we could leave it up to the rest of the members to decide. I’m kinda on the fence with that one…

Dave, any thoughts on a general “trolling” entry? Nebulous but could be chock-full of protips & examples of effective trolling
