You should remove the Cyanide and Happiness images. They’re misleading and people who don’t like to read text will think they were the origin rather than a copy.”

Well, that’s their own stupid fault, you know.

I hate to poop on the parade but without knowing who Whalley got the image from in the first place and whether or not that guy just made a smiley out of an expression he’d seen elsewhere in cartooning (which seems likely) all you really know is the person responsible for popularizing it and that he got it from someone else.

I found the true beginning of the “Awesome” face. Its coming from Sean William Scott’s face in “Dude where’s my car?”. I cant remimber when exactly this happen but he says “Awesome” with that marvellous look. I know, i know…

“Rules 1 and 2, newfag.”

m00t himself says that those rules were made up. They were never official rules on /b/, and were barely used on /i/.

NEWFAG.

Interesting link, Dodge. I’m talking to the folks over at Pokemopolis now, I’ll post an update if I find out anything. Perhaps they are the original forum that whalley refers to in the interview.

Actually, it seems to have come from the Pokemopolis boards.
