New meme face pack unlocked!

we'll never have new organic meme faces because even the most well intentioned artists will still know about it and be thinking about it when drawing.

"Make this a meme!!!"-fags deserve the rope
In fact, they've earned it

>Guys please watch my show and make a meme out of it :))))

It’s called cartooniness
>>149269469
These people do not exist besides marketing interns

You are masturbating to dominating people in your imagination

Give me examples of silly cartoon faces that aren't meme faces and tell me the difference between those and the ones in OP's show.

An exaggerated expression exists to punch up a joke, not create a joke. "Ed eats his whole mattress" is a joke, how you draw it really sells the execution. You should be able to look at an expression isolated from its context and still have a rough idea of what the expression is conveying other than "silly". All expressions are created equal. There is just as much effort put into a sad Ed face as there is a happy, screaming, angry, and confused expression.

Solid cartoon construction helps. When you actually keep in mind the character's form and skull and try to exaggerate it around that rather than just drawing anything and slapping a face on it, it feels like the character making the face rather than just "a face".

It's hard to put it into a science, because humor doesn't work like that. But you can tell when something is and is not funny, when someone is trying too hard and when they're naturally funny, and you can tell when something is trying to be a reaction meme vs. just a really good expression.

I'm gonna post random expressions with no context and see if anyone is able to infer what is going on based on a single frame alone.

Cause you're a fag

Notice how the expression doesn't exist in a vacuum, it's a reaction. They'll sometimes use their hands or whole body to sell an emotion, and that part of their body is ALSO reacting. They aren't just flailing their arms in random directions to be funny. All the faces are treated equal; the artists don't ONLY go crazy for screaming. They put just as much thought into a shy face as they will a yelling face. Even for simple designs, there is solid construction. It still feels like the character and not just a morphing blob.

Compare that to something like pic related. The expressions are an after thought. You can erase the whole bodies of these characters and just leave floating eyes+mouth, and you get the exact same scene. They do not play with poses or warp faces around skulls. There is no consideration for if this is the right face for the right moment-- only that it is a FUNNY face for what could probably be a boring scene. You'll notice lots of artists will resort to drawing meme faces when they feel something isn't funny enough as almost a laugh track to the audience so they know, "This is supposed to be funny, by the way!".

A lot of artists do not THINK about what they are drawing, they simply do. "Make this scene a bit funny!", so they'll just draw the mouth three times bigger, have the character go cross-eyed, and maybe add a bunch of crease marks around the mouth or eyes. This is a problem when you only reference your friends artwork for ideas instead of watching your own face, observing others faces, studying actors, studying other cartoons, or looking at any reference outside of your insular circle group at all. These people all draw the same faces because a director told them to "be funny" when there are much better faces that sell the scene.

Here's a screencap from someone else in a similar thread to this that adds onto my point. If I remember I had this, I would've attached it to my post above instead.

>Wylde Pak fag shilling their terrible show again
Nope, not falling for it, go astroturf somewhere else

>>149270569
I have never seen this show but the second character's face looks like that kid from Big City Greens, which is another show I've never seen.

>>149270263
No dude people laugh at cartoon faces by themselves, that’s what a caricature is, you’re rationalizing your stupid prejudice and dragging down the medium from being good again

>>149269509
>These people do not exist besides marketing interns
I'm referring to the people that make threads begging people to make a meme out of something stupid their friend did in a video

A caricature is an exaggeration of existing features meant to portray someone in a slightly humorous way. The expression is a separate detail from the exaggerated features. Whether this person was smiling or frowning, the artist would still draw her with big teeth. She does not suddenly have big teeth for no reason just because it would be funny, but because it's the first thing that stands out in observation when you look at her. It's a visual version of observational humor.

This is completely different from cartoon expressions that are a part of a story/scene.

People really be drawing left-handed then have their friends gas them up at how skilled they are at drawing. Holy fuck, we're so cooked.

>>149269349 (OP)
This shit is just poorly drawn. Reminds me of Thundercats Roar's animation, except the artstyle is slightly less disgusting.
