MingLee is one of the most recognizable global emotes on Twitch, featuring the smiling face of Chris Chan, a former Twitch employee. The photograph was taken during an event in 2010 and was added to the platform's emote library shortly after. In the world of live streaming, MingLee is primarily used to express laughter, reaction to a joke, or to mock someone for a 'dad joke' or a bad pun. Over time, it has evolved into a versatile symbol for lighthearted trolling and genuine amusement within the gaming community. Its wide grin and joyful expression make it the go-to template for moments where the humor is so bad, it's good.
