Mean Muggin’: 10 Times Kanye West Looked Upset When He Actually Wasn’t

If “mean mug” was in the dictionary, a whole heap of pictures of Kanye West could appear next to it.

Kim Kardashian’s husband is not exactly known for a cheery demeanor, but it is still pretty funny when his less-than-happy face is on display. Just this week, he made random friends with a bachelorette party, but that darn mean mug wouldn’t let him reveal how happy he actually was. Turns out, this is actually a regular occurrence in the life of Kanye West’s face; even in moments where he may be experiencing utter joy, he appears be in an awful mood.

Here are 10 Times Kanye Looked Upset When He Actually Wasn’t. You’re welcome.

That time he was out for ice cream with Kim Kardashian.
You gangbangin’ on ice cream, Kanye?! There is just no way someone could be doing one of the most gleeful things in life – with his then-fiancee, no less – and be that angry-looking. Maybe they did not have the right “31 flavors.”

That time his daughter had just sat in the front row at Paris Fashion Week. 
Fact #1: Kanye West loves North West. Fact #2: Kanye West loves Paris. Fact #3: Kanye West loves fashion. Fact #4: None of the aforementioned facts are evident in Kanye West’s face.

That time he had just married the love of his life, Kim Kardashian.
When most people look at their wedding photos in the years to come, they will see their faces in some of the biggest smiles it has ever formed. Not Kanye West, though. Kanye will see this.

That time a Kanye West fan stopped him for a selfie…
It is safe to guess that taking selfies is not a hobby that Kanye shares with Kim Kardashian. No, he will not be publishing a book full of close-ups of his face. Why, because they would look like the one he’s taking above.

That time he and Kim took that bathroom mirror selfie.
We’re taking votes on how this conversation when. Here a guess: Kim: “Babe, let’s take a selfie.” Kanye: *silent stare*. Sounds legit to us.

That time North West was sleeping in his arms.
Judging by her fashion week grimaces, North West may be inheriting her father’s knack for masked enthusiasm. On a pretty huge day for them both – it was North’s first birthday and Father’s Day – they two couldn’t look happier, even as they slept. She gets it from her daddy.

That time he and Kim Kardashian went ziplining in Mexico.
When a photo of Kimye’s Mexican ziplining adventure surfaced earlier this summer, the Internet just knew that Kanye West was completely and utterly miserable. Nope, actually, he and Kim. K had the time of their lives; it was just another one of those times his face didn’t get the memo.

That time… Kim told a really funny joke?
You have to wonder if Kim has mastered the art of not taking Kanye’s grill personally. Although she is clearly amused by something, her man just doesn’t seem to be as entertained. We’re sure it was hilarious Kim.

That time he won a BET Award with Jay Z
No doubt this was a good day for Kanye West. After bringing his bae Kim to the 2012 BET Awards (hold the side-eyes), his buddies Jay Z and Beyonce actually managed to show up as well. To top things off, he and Jay Z also win a Video of the Year award as The Throne. So this all begs the question, “Why so serious, Kanye?” Relive this one:

That time he was on 106 & Park with 2 Chainz
You might have seen this Kanye mean mug in you Instagram timelines. Kanye’s face in photos taken at his 106 & Park appearance with 2 Chainz have inspired several memes about the phenomena that is Kanye West being happy. See below:
