The original sad-Pepe emote, a Matt Furie panel of Pepe with a downturned mouth saying 'feels bad man'.
The original sad-Pepe emote, a Matt Furie panel of Pepe with a downturned mouth saying 'feels bad man'. Predates Twitch — it came from 4chan in the late 2000s — but became canonical on Twitch as the all-purpose 'that sucks' reaction. Largely replaced by Sadge for newer Twitch users but still posted by old-school chatters.

A BTTV emote of Pepe the frog crying, the modern successor to FeelsBadMan. Posted when something genuinely sad happens on stream: a streamer loses their pet in-game, a sub leaves, the stream ends, a tournament run dies. Usually spammed in a column. Strong Twitch-to-Discord crossover; teenagers now type 'sadge' in regular text chat to mean 'that's a bummer'.
The positive twin of FeelsBadMan, the original smug-Pepe face from a 2008 Matt Furie comic. Posted when something on stream goes well: a win, a wholesome moment, a streamer hitting a goal. Like FeelsBadMan, it predates Twitch but defined the standard Pepe-reaction grammar that later emotes (Sadge, Pepega, monkaS) all build on.
A sad Pepe the frog with his face in his hands, an FFZ emote predating Sadge. Used when something on stream genuinely hits emotionally — a story about a death, the end of a long stream series, a beloved character dying in a game. More somber than Sadge, often used solo rather than spammed.
