Neil deGrasse Tyson Reaction Face Uses the Astrophysicist's Likene

— December 7, 2011 — Tech
I’ve been an avid fan of rage comics since my teenage years and am pleased that this Neil deGrasse Tyson reaction face is now joining the pantheon of mythic rage comic characters such as Trollface, Me Gusta and Forever Alone. But what makes the Neil deGrasse Tyson reaction doubly special is the fact that it draws its likeness from the famous American astrophysicist himself.

Parodying an interview video Neil deGrasse Tyson gave on the topic of Isaac Newton, the new reaction face features the director of the Hayden Planetarium throwing his hands in the air with an incredulous look. The words “Watch out, we got a badass over here” are typed sarcastically beside the image and the meme is often paired with images of people wholesomely misbehaving for hilarious effect.
Trend Themes
1. Meme Culture - Opportunity for brands to tap into the popularity of memes and create humorous and relatable content for their target audience.
2. Internet Persona - Disruptive innovation opportunity for individuals to create and cultivate their online personas through the use of reaction faces and memes.
3. Celebrity Influence - Opportunity for celebrities or public figures to embrace memes and use them to connect with their fans on a more personal and relatable level.
Industry Implications

2. Entertainment - Disruptive innovation opportunity for the entertainment industry to create shows, movies, or online content centered around meme culture and internet personas.
3. Social Media - Opportunity for social media platforms to provide tools and features that allow users to easily create and share reaction faces and memes.
