About
"A Face You Can Trust" is an expression paired with a face, generally one that is somewhat odd looking, although it has later been used for characters that are legitimately seen as trustworthy.
Origin
The oldest know memetic usage of the phrase "A Face You Can Trust" was from the Video "JETPACK BACKPACK" uploaded by YouTuber KickThePj August 2nd 2012.[1] The video is about a sales person for the made up Jetpack Backpacks. The phrase shows up 1:35 in the video, trying to jokingly convince the user that the sales person has a face that can be trusted.
The oldest known archived usage of the phrase outside of this video dates to a /co/ thread discussing the Disney XD show TRON: Uprising in 2013.[2] It is very likely that this phrase was used before either this thread or the YouTube video above.
Spread
The phrase was often used on various 4chan boards with pictures in threads. The meme also spread to Tumblr later, with simply posting a picture of a character and leaving the caption "A face you can trust."[3]
