About

Debby Ryan Funny Face or Debby Ryan's Radio Rebel Smirk, also known simply as Debby Ryan Meme, refers to a reaction image meme and viral clip of American actress Debby Ryan from the 2012 Disney Channel movie Radio Rebel. Ryan's scene resurfaced in May 2020 after a Twitter / X user posted the moment as a reaction video of their 15-year-old self at a concert in the crowd, trying to act different from others.

Origin

On February 17th, 2012, Disney Channel premiered the movie Radio Rebel featuring actress Debby Ryan playing Tara, an introvert who plays a confident radio jockey at her school.
