Are You Kidding Me, also known as Are You Serious Guy, is a rage comic face used as a response to stupidity or nonsense in the form of frustration or annoyingness. It represents an annoyed face with half-open eyes and a frown, sometimes showing the text.
History
Like most Rage Comic style exploitables, the series is said to have started on the website 4chan, while the oldest known comic has been uploaded to the internet humor site FunnyJunk as early as on May 23, 2010.[1] On the next day, a blank four-pane template featuring the reaction face was submitted by FunnyJunk user FunnyJunkBrah, which went on to inspire nearly 300 derivative comics on the site during the last week of May 2010.
Less than a month later on June 16, 2010, DeviantART user CruiserPL uploaded a transparent drawing[2] of the “Are You Kidding Me” rage comic face, followed by another version featuring the phrase as its caption on June 19, which has been viewed more than 102,000 times as of September 2012.
Trivia
- There is a meme that appears realistic and has a similar emotion by the name of Are You Serious.
- Unlike Y U NO Guy's meme emoticon, ლ(ಠ益ಠლ), Are You Kidding Me also has one as well, which looks like this, (ಠ_ಠ).
- Like most rage comic characters, he has a frown, but even though he's looking towards someone as he cuts his eyes like F-Word Yeah, Trollface, and Are You Serious would do.
- Instead of saying the same phrase "Are You Kidding Me", some rage comics would have the same meme with a bad word saying, "Are You F****** kidding me" in it as well. Sometimes, the meme is said differently than the two phrases that has been used.
