# Big Grin Never Ever Big Grin Never Ever is a rage comic face reaction, also called Grinface or Epic Lulz Guy, that depicts wide-mouthed joy and smugness after pulling off a prank. It first appeared in a deviantArt rage comic in April 2009 and became a staple face in the rage comic boom of the early 2010s. ## Overview Big Grin Never Ever, better known simply as Big Grin, is a rage comic face reaction also filed under the aliases Grinface and Epic Lulz Guy[1]. It shows a wide, toothy mouth stretched across the whole face with small dot eyes, meant to express inevitable joy and smugness after a character pulls off a prank or watches a plan pay off[2]. Memebase's rage comic builder catalogued the face under its Trolls category, grouping it with other troll-oriented reactions[2]. In rage comic sequences the face is typically drawn in the final panel as the payoff shot, playing the emotional opposite of the classic Rage Guy who screams FFFFUUUU[3]. ## How It Spread Through 2010 and 2011 the face got baked into the two most-used rage comic construction tools of the era. Memebase's builder listed Grin as a Trolls-section face, letting anyone drop it into a strip without drawing it themselves[2]. The Dan Awesome Ragemaker web tool also included Grin in its default face library, cementing it as a stock reaction[4]. Rage face catalogue sites picked it up next. All The Rage Faces! filed Grin alongside Trollface, Me Gusta, Cereal Guy, and dozens of other reactions that defined the format[5]. The face saw heavy use on Reddit's r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu subreddit during the rage comic peak years around 2011 to 2012, usually as the final smug panel after a successful troll. As rage comics faded from mainstream feeds around 2013 to 2014, Big Grin stayed in circulation as a nostalgic callback face, still popping up in ironic reposts of old rage strips[3]. ## How to Use Big Grin is typically used as the punchline panel of a multi-frame rage comic. A common convention is to place the face in the final panel right after a prank lands, a rival gets owned, or a plan works out exactly as the character hoped. It often replaces a spoken reaction and works as pure facial expression, so no caption is needed underneath. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Big Grin Never Ever?
