Originating as a collection of anonymous webcomics posted on FourChan back in 2008, the format quickly spread across the web, thanks to its accessibility (pretty much anyone with Photoshop and online access can produce a rage comic within minutes) and the catchiness of many "rage faces".

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Several of the supporting faces (such as "You don't say", "True story", and "Watch out, we've got a badass") are trace-overs of real people.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Filler}}: More often than not, "True story" is used to fill up a fourth panel in a comic that would otherwise only be three panels long.
Added DiffLines:
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The "seriously?" faces are far more realistically drawn than the standard faces that aren't trace-overs, and they are some of the few to have uniquely designed female sprites.

"Rage Comics" a.k.a. "rage face comics" are not a single webcomic ''per se'' but a massive agglomeration of unrelated webcomics by different authors across the interwebs, united only by their distinct style and topics. Essentially a CutAndPasteComic format with a shared pool of recurring face sprites, most rage comics tell [[SliceOfLifeWebcomics short anecdotal stories with a punchline from their authors' lives]].

The most common rage comic template consists of four panels (not unlike {{Yonkoma}}) arranged in a 2x2 for better browser readability:
# The main character is introduced doing something ordinary.
# Something unusual happens.
# The character does something about it (alternatively: a BeatPanel).
# The character reacts, often with uncontrolled rage if the previous panel ended in failure.
Longer comics are also common, but they are almost never broader than two panels in a row (since most websites that host rage comics have a picture width restriction).
