FeelsBadMan Origin

The origin of FeelsBadMan and the rest of the Pepe the Frog family dates back to 2005 when Matt Furie, the creator of Pepe, published the ‘boys club’ comic to his MySpace.

This comic featured Pepe the Frog saying the now infamous phrase ‘feels good man‘. 3 years after Matt published the comic to his MySpace, Pepe became HUGE on the 4chan message boards and users started creating many variations of the amphibian.

In 2009, the phrase ‘Feels Bad Man’ became very popular across 4chan to indicate you feel bad after a sad story.

After that, Pepe emotes started being picked up on other places on the internet but they didn’t really become mainstream until 2015.
