About
Roblox Man Face refers to a smirking face in the video game Roblox called the "Man Face" that was published to the Roblox avatar shop for free in 2012 as part of the "Man bundle." The face is notably popular on the avatar shop and is frequently used in ironic memes and shitposts as an exploitable, photoshopped onto other characters for comedic effect. The face was originally called the "Johnny Face."
Origin
The Man Face was published to the Roblox avatar shop[1] on July 26th, 2012 under the name "Johnny Face" (shown below).[2] It was originally sold for 100 Robux but is now free.
Spread

On February 5th, 2021, YouTuber Flamingo posted a video titled "ROBLOX MAN FACE" playing the game with a group of other players using the face, gaining over 3.2 million views in seven months (shown below).
The Man Face became significantly popular among players over the course of 2021. Roblox YouTubers MoFlare, Craxel and Sebee largely helped spread the face's popularity after using it in their videos.
