Troll Science, also known as Troll Physics, is a genre of rage comics that intentionally presents flawed scientific logic to solve everyday problems or achieve impossible feats, like infinite energy or flight. Emerging in the late 2000s on imageboards like 4chan and Reddit, these comics typically feature the iconic Trollface character performing a series of nonsensical steps that mock actual scientific principles. The meme gained massive resurgence in the early 2020s with the 'Cover Yourself in Oil' variation, leaning into surrealist and ironic humor while maintaining its roots in the classic rage comic era of the internet.
