I used to see them everywhere. I don't even see them on Facebook meme pages anymore. What happened?

 

[HStallion]

The meme was old by the time it became popular. It was never going to last.

 

[Santiako]

Memes are fleeting.

 

[Sephzilla]

What about the OG

 

[ClosingADoor]

Emojis took over.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

I still think they can be funny in context.

But I'm old.

 

[Hubbl3]

Twitch emotes took their place PogChamp

 

[louiedog]

Mercifully, like most lame things, they went away.

 

[Boke1879]

That shit is old as hell and with memes gaining in popularity these days. They only last like a day.

 

[ajpw]

last i saw the troll face was in an episode of black mirror

 

[NEO0MJ]

Didn't someone have the right to a few of them? Wonder how much he made from it.

Emojis took over.

Yep. No need to bother with googling the right expression, it's all in your keyboard.

 

[Ambient80]

They went from somewhat funny (or at least goofy), 4-pane comics to giant full color comics and cartoons that made them dumb. Reddit was where I saw this the most.

It's not that old. The peak was around 2009-2010. Also proves that memes do not get better or worse.

 

[Big Blue]

Black Mirror made it creepy for me.

 

[Volimar]

Honestly, I never cared for them and I'm happy they're gone.

At least twitch emotes offer some variety, Kappa.

There's only one meme you ever need.

 

[Fat4all]

you live by the meme, you die by the meme

 

[collige]

What about the OG

Yeah, this is what I expected coming into the thread. Literally none of the pic in the OP are troll faces, they're just unfunny image macros primarily from Reddit.

 

[Phu]

That's old as shit. We're talking about memes here.

 

[Raysoul]

Emojis took over.

In terms of internet time that is old. Old occurs almost after a few months today in the internet culture which is sad.

That was 7 years ago. A child born at the peak could basically be joining in on this conversation, that's how old they are.

 

[Princess Viola]

Le me making le rage comics

 

[MudoSkills]

I saw plastic toys of these being sold in GAME not too long ago, and instantly projectile vomited and shit myself.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Emojis are so much better

 

[Ray Wonder]

Don't worry, they'll come back once they're so old that they're cool again.

 

[SliceSabre]

We have better and newer troll faces/memes now.

Kappa

 

[Fat4all]

Le me making le rage comics

oh god

 

[Linkura]

What about the OG

I still love my OG trollface and wear my "You mad?" shirt proudly.

Any others simply aren't trollface.

 

[2Smashed4U]

Rage comics were awful garbage when Reddit was first obsessed with them 6-7 years ago.

 

[SpaceWolf]

They went the way of the dodo, where they belong.

Black Mirror was the nail in the coffin.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

4chan moved on to frogs

 

[PSqueak]

What about the OG

Copyrighted to Deviantart.

Im not kidding.

 

[Poppy]

what happened to mudkips

 

[Host Samurai]

I liked the rage comics years ago. Much better than the garbage memes we get these days.

 

[ZackieChan]

I liked the rage comics years ago. Much better than the garbage memes we get these days.

People don't even use Impact font anymore. Today's memes are nothing but trash

 

[Master Thespian]

 

[Coreda]

One from that selection can be seen on 4chan from time to time, and another became a GAF mod. How quickly they grow.

 

[allenpergallon]

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

I mean the internet collectively grew older it seems at least in terms of meme-ing

 

[CopperPuppy]

Still here:

 

[John Kowalski]

They went to meme heaven

 

[Wilsongt]

Been replaced with the new best emoji:

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

 

[daveo42]

Reddit killed it and Facebook just kept beating on a long dead meme.

 

[Principate]

All of these are still in used on narutofan forums. It's the regular form of communication over there combined with the cat versions.

 

[marrec]

They were dumb and went away because they were dumb

 

[Moose Biscuits]

The internet moved on from funny meme faces, nowadays nihilism and ironic image macros about suicide that are secretly cries for help are where it's at, daddy-o.

Also daddy-o, that came back.

 

[necrosis]

they were placed in the internet garbage (where they belong)

 

[BosSin]

Thank god they died

 

[Hux1ey]

People finally ( way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way too late mind you) got tired of them I guess.
