History YMMV / RageComics

* SpiritualSuccessor: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojak Wojaks]] and their offshoots such as [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/yes-chad Yes Chad]] (which, despite only achieving mainstream use many years later, actually originated around the same time as Rage Comics) are also simplistic MS Paint-esque images that originated on Website/FourChan and are also frequently used in comics to convey a situation or caricature someone, and saw a jump in usage around the late 2010s, by which time the Rage Comics had basically died out. [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/001/702/319/c19.png The]] similarities have not been lost on some.

* SongAssociation: Following several viral videos in 2021 featuring the character, Trollface has become associated with ''Music/TallyHall'', especially the song "The Ruler Of Everything".

** However, it has made some occasional comebacks, like the [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cover-yourself-in-oil Cover Yourself In Oil]] Troll Science comic, or the horror oriented [[WebOriginal/Trollge Trollge Incidents]].

** By the latter half of UsefulNotes/TheNewTens, rage comics had basically disappeared, and were widely accepted to have outright died out since 2016, being succeeded by "[[UsefulNotes/{{Dada}} dank memes]]". But since late 2020-early 2021, Trollface has been fully revived in mainstream meme circles. Unlike the previous uses that treat him more as a character, however, the more recent Trollface memes largely use edited versions of him as a reaction image (such as the "WebOriginal/{{Trollge}}"), fully lean into the InsaneTrollLogic associated with the character (i.e. "[[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cover-yourself-in-oil Cover Yourself in Oil]]"), or create outright disturbing versions of him (frequently treating it as a HumanoidAbomination attempting to take over the web), fitting with the aforementioned "dank memes".

* MemeticMutation: The faces used in Rage Comics (e.g. Trollface) can be found all over the internet. In fact, throughout the first half of UsefulNotes/TheNewTens they were pretty much synonymous with "meme", which may be why they were revived in UsefulNotes/TheNewTwenties despite the rage comic format being a DiscreditedMeme by that point.

* DiscreditedMeme: The whole concept, to a certain extent. Varies based on what parts of the internet you frequent. Although as seen in PopularityPolynomial below, the characters are still being used.
