Epic Fail Guy (EFG) is a stick figure character that originated on 4chan around 2006, known for humorously representing embarrassing or absurd failures. He typically wears a red baseball cap and appears in simple MS Paint-style comics. In one notable strip, he dons a Guy Fawkes mask, linking him to the Anonymous collective. EFG became an early symbol of internet meme culture centered on visual, stick-figure-based humor.
