Are You Fucking Kidding Me (also AYFKM, preceded by ಠ_ಠ) is a member of the bastard clan of RAGE memes, and another easily replaceable, fruitless attempt of someone's attention complex. It can be described as your usual stickman, whose face expresses great disdain upon other person's stupid actions or statements... or this is how its creator probably wanted it to be interpreted, because the reality of it all is merciless. But we'll get to that.

After the successful emerge of RAGE, many users of the Interwebz tried to repeat the phenomenom and become Internet famous, creating variations of this original content. "AYFKM" is one of them, which is not surprising at all. Little is known about the origins of this fine piece of art. It is commonly accepted that meme was started on 4chan somewhere around 2010, but since it quickly turned exploitable and spread on FunnyJunks, 9gags and so on, you can't be 100% sure. What you might want to know, though, is that AYFKM became really well known over the years, and is now used in every manner you can imagine by many. For example, there was a guy called "FunnyJunkBrah", who directly inspired the creation of about 300 AYFKM comics and pictures, but it's only a drop in the sea of poison. Since the meme is supposed to uncover someone else's stupidity in a distinctive and funny manner, it became popular among 13-/16-year old kids and students (as always), now proudly creating four pannel comics in which they mostly grieve over the world around them, argue with cruel reality or present themselves as intellectually superior to their classmates, parents, friends and so on.
