The Yao Ming meme, also known as the 'Bitch Please' face, originated from a 2009 press conference featuring NBA player Yao Ming and teammate Ron Artest. A photograph captured Yao making a distinctive, contorted laughing face during a lighthearted moment. In 2010, a Reddit user transformed the expression into a line-art drawing, which quickly became one of the most iconic figures in the Rage Comics universe. It is widely used to express derisive laughter or to mock an idea with a dismissive 'bitch, please' attitude.
