Originating as a collection of anonymous webcomics posted on Website/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". The original rage face was the [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/rage-guy-fffffuuuuuuuu "Rage Guy"]], to whom the format [[TropeNamer owes its title]]. More "rage faces" were introduced, and by the early-mid 2010s, hundreds of rage comics were produced and uploaded online every day, alongside WebOriginal/LOLCats and other {{meme}}s. While the format has largely died out since 2016, rage comics are still considered an iconic part of early 2010s Internet culture, and some of the characters and formats that originated in them are still used today.

''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]].

Originally started as a commentary about the labeling of Japanese snacks, and became an art contest about rainbows throwing up rainbows, and escalated from there. It has since been appropriated as a reaction shot towards gush-worthy things found on the Internet.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: When the Trollface was originally created, he was actually shown as desperate and unsuccessful into pissing off his target. The creator's next use had him actually pull the face (called "cool face") to nervously cover from a police officer. This contrasts with the common usage, where the Trollface simply annoys/pranks people without a problem.
