About
What's All This Racket? (a.k.a "Fat Son" and "Mirada Fija" on Spain and Latin America) is a series of multi-pane comics depicting various dialogues between an Otaku-type character and his scornful father. The comic typically begins with the father entering his son's room to see what he's up to and ends with the father reacting disappointedly to his son's response. Though speculative, "What's All This Racket, Son" is most likely a spin-off series inspired by the Son, I am disappoint comics.
Origin
The 4-pane comic series was conceived on 4chan's /a/ board around April 14th, 2009. One of the earliest archived thread of one of the comics in the series can be found on the Green-Oval archive[1]. It spread throughout various forums and imageboards circa early 2009, with the earliest known non-4chan thread on Grand Holy Empire of Batta forum[2] dating back to April 18th, 2009. The original comic illustrates a rather entertaining conversation about Japanese animes between the father and the son:
Spread
The comics have since been reposted on 4chan's topical imageboards like /a/ (anime board)[2] and /v/ (video game board)[3], videogame-related forums[4], anime communities[5] and other Otaku strongholds on the web in the style of an edited exploitable. The blank template has spawned dozens of derivative artworks exploring a wide range of subject matters through father-and-son dialogue. The phrase "what's all this racket, son?" has been also used in forum discussions as a standalone expression to indicate one's annoyance against another member in the thread.
The final panel of the father's staring face is frequently used in rage comics, and is referred to as "stare" in the f7u12 subreddit[7] and as "Mirada Fija" in the spaniard infamous site Cuánto Cabrón [8]
Usage
The face has been also widely used as a reaction face in comment threads, oftentimes to express concerns or displeasure towards another user's behaviors or remarks. For example in Reddit's AdviceAnimals section, typing the code [stare] into the text field generates the dad's reaction face. Its usage can be comparable to Stare Dad or Son, I am disappoint reaction faces.

WHAT THE F*** AM I READING
lol, i've seen alot of these.
most of them ending in the dad crying manly tears.
I saw this before. I would like to say yes and see derivatives and stuff, but I don't think it's a meme[YET].
how wonderful. a meme that rips off other memes.
or how about another shitty forced pile of crap being shoved down our throats
err.. did i put this on the wrong entry>
I dumped everything I found on that zetaboard thread from April 2009. It's a comic series (at least 5 or 6 pages as far as I know) by an unknown artist so far. I did some little research a while back thinking of it as a meme but I gave up because I didn't find as much picture derivatives as I expected.
The first "What's with all the racket going up here son ?" 4panes comic seems to be the one used as an exploitable, but we need way more pictures, and maybe a lead to the initial artist.
lol at hector hessey
could of sworn we had an enrty for this already,did this come off /v/ or what?
I love these so much.
+1 confirm
Good meme.
I frickin' love these.
+1 work, propagate it yourself if you have to for great justice.
Its pretty good, but it needs information on where it first appeared and who originally posted it.
I like this one. It needs more, you only have around half of the ones I've seen floating around the webs.
hmmm does anybody else read what the nerd says in this bastard's voice?
Yes I do, but did any one get the joke about the guran laggan one?
or what ever that shows called..
Heheheh… This is good. But a tad small.
+1 work
IT'S NOT MIM-AY, IT'S MEEM! IT'S A VIRAL SPREAD OF INFORMATION CONTINUOUSLY REUSED OVER 9000 IN THE INTERNET FOR JUSTICE THAT A CAMWHORE LIKE YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
JUST WATCH FOR A SECOND.
As far as I can remember, an /a/non made it just to insult weeaboos. He might never have expected it to have many mashups because it's supposed to be a rage-inducing parody…
Dramatica entry (NSFW)
Supposedly the reference in the original comic was to Ayu in Kanon, but I haven't seen any fansub with this subtitle, and I didn't see it in the dub either… anyone got a screenshot or video clip?

I love this comic. Confirm +1.
Yeah, there are more of these (even one where the son exhibits the "stare"). And people, quit butthurting about "anime hate trolls," obvious troll is obvious. But anime does suck.
+1 confirm.
makes anime kids butthurt. causes great and worthy lulz.
+1 Deadpool
Not as funny as other comics or Advice Animals >_>
why so many anime haters D:
Now this is good… +1 confirm…
fuckin' dicks…
I like anime, but it annoys me when people use terms like “kawai” or “baka”. It also annoys me that people outburst like "anime is not a cartoon!" because anime is a cartoon with a diffirent style made in Japan. +1 confirm
LOL…
At the expense of anime fans, I lol'd. Everything's great when it offends weeaboos! Kitty face.
s
Anime is just a cartoon. Lame
+1 Confirm, pretty widespread comic indeed.
Also, I added a MLP one. Haters gonna hate.
I'm fine with anime and fandoms and whatnot, but I get really annoyed by… those guys.
On a related note, are we covering the use of the dad's face in rage comics?
+1 confirm
awesome
+1 Confirm, I want to grow up to be like the father.
+1 deadpool for meme copy
+1 confirm, this is awesome. more!
+1 Confirm
Why so many people are mad over this Entry? >_>
Know what's stupider than anime hater trolls? Grouping all anime together. That's like saying "all live-action sux". It varies from one series to another. But I guess we can't expect trolls to actually exercise their brains.
I react this way every time I catch my brother watching My Little Pony.
@daniel vazquez
I wish I could favorite your comment right now.
-LOL but all randomness aside. Though I love anime with the burning passion of 1000 suns; this could be useful for trollin weeaboos, and that's ALWAYS fun. :D

+1 confirm, I especially like the ones where the dad ends up smiling and crying in the end.
+1 confirm, even though the kid represents everything I hate about anime and its fans…
This is definitely from 4chan. Specifically from the /a/ board. Here is one of the archived original threads by the guy who drew it: http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/a/thread/20520037
He drew others in this series. The last panel of the original is now used commonly in rage comics.
Fat kid's Dad is dissin' on minecraft!
BROTHERS! Don your armor! Tonight, we go to battle!
FOR MINECRAFTIA!!!!
Dad: wd3k, you playin' yer dress up games again?
wd3k: It's not a dress up game, Dad. It's called Live-action Roleplay and it's a very complicated sport that a jock like you wouldn't understand. It involves strategy, acting, story creating and costume-making. Watch for a second…
Other LARPer: We must attack the demon with all of our skill and power! Leroy, go for the 'nads!
Dad: >:I
No offense, man. I love LARP.
Oh and +1 while I'm here.

@MagnesiumFlint: I am glad you liked the comic!
Either way, I am surprised it took this long for it to get confirmed. But here we are, so I guess everything is fine.

Holyfuckingshit40000 isn't an anime community, it's a music blog.
Reminds me of League of Gentlemen: "Hello what's all this shouting we'll have no trouble here!"
>Just realized the guy is as fat as an elephant and never leaves his chair
>Sits on a ball for five days
Back when /a/ could make fun of themselves. You can't post things like this anymore because people will assume that you're a /pol/ crossie. I can't say I blame them, it's just sad that this is the state of 4chan after all these years.
