The troll face, created in 2008 by Carlos Ramirez, is often called the "father of memes" for its huge impact on early internet humor, especially in rage comics. It became a symbol of trolling and spread across platforms like 4chan and Reddit. Sources like La Tercera back this title, but earlier memes, like the Dancing Baby from 1996, show it’s not the first. Its influence is undeniable, inspiring other meme faces and even earning Ramirez over $100,000. The title reflects its cultural legacy rather than being the absolute origin of memes.
This is the iconic troll face meme, a black-and-white drawing with a mischievous grin, squinted eyes, and upturned nose. Created by Carlos Ramirez in 2008 for a rage comic called Trolls, it became a symbol of internet trolling after spreading on 4chan, Reddit, and beyond.
It’s often used humorously to mock trolling, not promote it, and has appeared in gaming, media, and even the Museo del Meme in Mexico City. Fun fact: Ramirez earned over $100,000 through licensing, sparking copyright debates.

Everyone wants to know why I’m only investing in XRP vs being diversified… this visual should be enough for most people to understand.
Interesting timing…
