In the early 2020s, rage comics were revived as "trollge incidents". Trollge incidents are a series of memes revolving around Carlos Ramirez's [[Trollface]] character from Rage Comics [[Trollge|but with a much darker and introspective tone]]. These memes usually take the form of "Trollge incidents", which are stories narrated in steps and taking a darker tone as the story goes on. There are many popular trollge incidents, such as the "Betrayal incident" and "Nature's corruption incident".
Rage comics are normally poorly created and drawn comics, often created with [[MS Paint]] (Microsoft Paint). However, despite them being badly drawn, they have evolved into a meme over-time. Rage comics were at their peak in the late 2000s and early 2010s. But there may also be more modern rage comics such as [[Cover Yourself in Oil]], but then after 2010 the meme started dying, which made that public make a newer version ([[Trollge]]).
