So you're the Only Sane Man, and the lunatics around you are once again doing something to make you question your faith in humanity. *sigh* It may not solve anything, but raising your hand to your forehead will have the dual benefit of temporarily obscuring your vision of the idiocy as well as cradling the oncoming headache. Variations occur, from pinching the bridge of one's nose to slapping one's forehead (basically a Dope Slap to oneself for the "idiocy" of putting up with this mess). One may also follow up the slap with sliding the palm of the hand down one's face, possibly with a look of exasperation. If they're wearing a hat, expect them to pull the brim of the hat over their eyes in disgust. If they're wearing a cloak or a hoodie, then they're pulling the cowl before their face. Sometimes, there is a distinction between the forehead facepalm (for irritating moments) and the full-face version (humiliation). There's also the Double Face Palm, which is grasping one's head with both palms, as Picard does in "The Offspring"; this one is far more commonly associated with embarrassment. Some people even have gone meta, inserting "*picture of French Enterprise captain*" in their forum posts. Of course, it's also prevalent in Real Life. It's universal; a wide range of cultures, and even animals capable of reaching their faces with their arms/forelegs, seem to have some variety of this. It may be accompanied by the line "That's the Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard!" It may also be combined with I Need a Freaking Drink. Applying a Dope Slap is often a form of ready relief for the headaches that cause a Face Palm. A Sister Trope to Head Desk (in particularly extreme cases, these actions can also be combined to perform a *facepalmheaddesk* maneuver), Face Fault, Disapproving Look (also known as the "Implied Facepalm"). Compare Surrounded by Idiots, Only Sane Man, The Take. See also Aside Glance, Stunned Silence. Not directly related to Facepalm Of Doom, in which one attacks by placing one's palm on someone else's face. Now in Webster's Dictionary here! |

Sherlock Inspector Lestrade has a truly epic one after Sherlock pulls a gun on a group of police officers, pretends to take John hostage, and the pair take off down the street while still handcuffed together. John also did one when he found a head in the fridge. Later on, he did it again during an incredibly awkward meeting between Molly, Jim and Sherlock himself. Molly is trying to provoke Sherlock into jealousy. Jim is unashamedly fawning over Sherlock. Sherlock is being obnoxiously rude to both. And everyone is ignoring John. Good times. |

Hark! A Vagrant: Karl Heinrich Ulrichs slaps a hand over his face while he's trying to argue for gay rights, when he compares it to people needing to speak up against witch hunts in the (then) near past only for a lady to say that "Ok, except everyone knows witches don't exist." Ulrichs is a real historical figure, who was advocating for gay rights before the word homosexual was coined and ended up exiled for his activism. | |

There's a "special feeling meme", in which two characters will be shown being interviewed for TV, with one saying "Being in the snow with your lover immerses me with a special feeling. I like it." while the other one blushes and face palms. A Puella Magi Madoka Magica example is here. | |

The Autobiography of Jane Eyre: In episode 3, Jane is absolutely desperate and touches and covers her face several times. She panics and freaks out because she's lost in the middle of nowhere at night, she lost her phone and can't contact the person who's supposed to give her a ride. Jane facepalms at the beginning of episode 5 when she's exhausted and experiences "it's at the tip of my tongue" as she spent the whole day talking French with Adele, and cannot remember the word for "fatiguée". When she realizes it's "tired", she buries her face in her hands. In episode 9 "Phlegm", Jane is ill and feels very down. She rubs her face and is on the brink of tears. In episode 10, she touches her forehead in an exasperated gesture. It expresses how she's unsatisfied, lonely and restless. Also, it happened after an almost-collision with a car. People have a right to be upset after such experience. |

The Mighty Thor: Issue #359 has a Dramedy plot in which Lorelei and Loki conspire to put Thor under magical mind control. Their scheme is eventually defeated when Lorelei is rendered similarly magically infatuated with Loki. After Loki has been forced to lift the enchantment on Thor, and nearly had his brains smashed in along the way, Lorelei asks if he's angry with her. Loki's facepalm◊ is a minor classic of the trope. | |

Sluggy Freelance: In 15/03/27, Torg made even the author facepalm in writing with his behaviour. Gwynn had just started liking/tolerating him, but then seen an image on his phone childishly mocking her and got angry. Torg's wondering at the changenote it's not like she's going to tell him, she has to do her own part in making things difficult by being a gender stereotype and then seems on the verge of figuring out the reason — but what he actually came up with is that it must be her time of the month. | |

Channel Awesome: Everyone of their team employs it every now and then. Happens all the time with The Nostalgia Critic. In particular, he opened his review of The Garbage Pail Kids Movie with his head buried in his hands. Variation of headdesk with Todd in the Shadows, after realizing what "Paparazzi" is about. While he has no desk available at the time, he does have a keyboard. And a head. In an episode of Wrestle! Wrestle! for TNA Impact, Spoony has apparently gotten to the point where even saying "Dixie" (as in TNA owner Dixie Carter) causes a reflexive facepalm. Diamanda Hagan is too important an Evil Overlord to facepalm by herself, so while reviewing Left Behind she calls one of her minions to present his palm so she can smack it with her forehead. From the opening of Kickassia Part 5: |

CSI: NY has these from time to time. Danny does it at the end of "Oedipus Rex" when he realizes what he missed out on by turning down a date with one of the Suicide Girls. Mac does the face-wipe version when he's chewing out any of his team, particularly with Flack for going A.W.O.L. in "Cuckoo's Nest," and Adam for deliberately disobeying a direct order in "Unfriendly Chat." |

A scene from Too Close for Comfort episode "The Remaking of Monroe" has a co-worker say he is surprised that Henry is 52 years old (he thought he was two years older). Henry then asks Monroe (who just arrived at Henry and Muriel's apartment a couple of minutes before to ask for money to attend an assertiveness training seminar) how old he looked. Muriel (who is standing behind Monroe) mimes to him a response by holding up four fingers on her left hand and five on her right. You would think the response he would go with based on Muriel's hand signals would be "45", but instead Monroe goes with the response, "nine". What Muriel does is actually more of a head palm, but still... | |

In Kung Fu Panda 3, when another panda named Li Shan who has arrived in the noodle shop tells Po that he's come looking for his long-lost son. Po sympathizes, telling Shan that he's also looking for his long-lost father. The two then wish the other luck in looking for their family before wandering off. Cue a mass facepalm from the crowd watching the exchange. |

In Superman #713, Superman tells Supergirl and Superboy that he has been wondering whether there must be a Superman... and he realized the answer is "No". And then he takes off his costume. Supergirl finds the situation so stupid that she facepalms hard◊. In Superman/Batman #62, Supergirl's enthusiastic self-guided tour of the Batcave while Tim is in the middle of a sentence causes him to irritably drop his face into a hand. Perhaps she's giving him flashbacks to trying to corral Impulse: |

Dungeon Keeper Ami: Here: "Three arguing warlocks stood around a waist-high pedestal covered in schematics. One kept tapping the blackboard behind him with his index finger, smearing the scrawled runes on it in the process. The other held up an open book like a ward against ignorance, pointing at a certain passage. While the two shouted at each other, the third covered his forehead with one palm while glaring at the wax dripping onto his notes from a toppled candelabra." | |

He's particularly prone to the "depressed" type, doing it in the prologue, (wrapping both arms completely around his head in an effort to hide himself), and a few times in the mid-quel Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas. |

In chapter 11, Asuka has been ordered to test a prototype war plane despite of not being psychologically stable. The test goes awry, and Misato -who had talked against putting Asuka in that plane-, facepalmed as wearing a "I knew it" expression. In chapter 14 Misato had been complaining about missing pilots. And then new pilots arrive and she realizes that they are guaranteed to make trouble. So she facepalms in irritation. |

Monday Mornings: Viewers get to see characters facepalming all the time, both for their own failures or because others failed spectacularly. It might be expected in a Medical Drama dealing with professional screw-ups. They are seen especially during their M&M [Mortality and Morbidity] meetings, but there are several during legal meetings or after surgeries. Some Face Palms were related to shame warped by personal relationships. | |

Total Drama: There's always enough idiots around for someone to facepalm while dealing with them. Tyler tries to come up with a one-liner to intimidate the Screaming Gophers in "Dodgebrawl", but what he comes up with is "we're gonna bring the dinner to the table and then we're gonna eat it!" Courtney can only slap her face in embarrassment. Courtney facepalms a second time in "Dodgebrawl" when she can't conceive of a possibility for the Killer Bass to still win the challenge. Katie and Sadie are the first to take a shot at getting to represent their team at the talent show that evening in "Not Quite Famous". They perform a dance together, which is so awful that Courtney's jaw drops and she slaps her face. In "Phobia Factor", Heather puts her hand to her face when Leshawna, who is arachnophobic, goes running and screaming even when the spider she has to deal with is blatantly Chef in a pink spider costume. Trent slaps his hand to his face when Lindsay steps right into the quicksand to save him and starts sinking too in "Up the Creek". Justin facepalms in "Ocean's Eight - Or Nine" when Lindsay fails to open the vault with her junior high locker combination, thinking the code is standard issue and calling the vault's refusal to open bad school spirit. Lindsay arrives at the Gemmie Awards in "Celebrity Manhunt's TDA Reunion Show" in casual dress thinking it was just a rehearsal. She tries to save her fashion faux-pas by pointing out the cute new earrings she's wearing, prompting Sierra to facepalm. Sierra and Courtney are doing great fighting Owen and Tyler for the challenge in "Greece's Pieces". However, when Cody returns, Courtney calls him a pipsqueak, which prompts Sierra to let go of Owen and attack her teammate. As the fight goes from an assured victory to an embarrassing loss, Heather smacks her hand against her forehead. Cameron facepalms over his own stupidity when Scott effortlessly tricks him into revealing that Mike has MPD in "The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean". In "The Obsta-Kill Course", Mal tells Scott that Cameron kissing Courtney was Alejandro's idea to drive a wedge between the new couple. When Scott asks if he means a wedge of cheese, Mal's reaction in the confessional is to facepalm. In "Mo' Monkey, Mo' Problems", the Pimâpotew Kinosewak manipulate the monkey that has their coin into giving it back by means of Monkey See, Monkey Do. Once the monkey realizes it's been tricked, it smacks itself against the head. |

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: "Thanksgiving": Captain Holt covers his face with his hand when he finds out that he and Jake have to continue in the investigation because the guy they caught bet the money on the football game. He starts facepalming as Jake excitedly keeps spinning his story about Captain's Holt undercover persona, telling us that Jimes's father was murdered by a bookie. "Payback": Jake Peralta facepalms for a really long time when Captain Holt congratulates Terry and Sharon on expecting a child. After all the effort the whole office made to delete an e-mail from Terry's account... because Terry wanted to keep the pregnancy secret for a while. "The Overmining": Captain Holt covers his face with his palm when he has to deal with an incompetent Captain Jason Stentley. One facepalm comes when Stentley admits being terrified while undercover and says that in the worst case, he will start shooting things. And then another facepalm comes when Stentley's left in the van to keep an eye out and listen as Holt and Jake talk to the suspect, trying to make a deal and gain evidence, but Stentley keeps talking in their earpieces. "99": Amy buries her face in her hand when Jake wants to prove to Terry that he learned how to do the worm and starts showing off his dance moves. |

World of Warcraft added a /facepalm emote in patch 3.0.2, although it only produces a predefined text message and not animated. It's also one of the few emotes the game's statistics page will track on your character; they expect you to use it that much. Anarchy Online as well added a similar command, and animated it. Guild Wars also has a facepalm emote, though the command for it is /doh. In 2011, players who liked the City of Heroes Facebook page on July 21 or between August 17-31 received the /facepalm emote ingame. And on a related note, one of the ''WoW'' forum moderators demonstrates the fitting response for truly epic failure.◊ |

A sketch from The Benny Hill Show combines this with physical comedy when one character (Benny Hill), upon seeing his friend (also Benny Hill) with a huge bloody hole in his forehead, asks him how he came to get it. He answers that he had recently been in the company of a woman but failed to realize her very obvious signals... and, upon doing so much later, put his hand to his forehead — forgetting he had a sharp piece of equipment in his palm at the time. The funny part is, upon demonstrating what he did to his friend, while holding the pointed bit of metal, he manages to put a second hole on the other side of his brow. | |

"Dooku Captured": Seeing Anakin smiling at the antics at the celebration, and sensing Hondo trying to walk up discreetly behind them, Obi-Wan shakes his head and briefly tilts his forehead into his palm. "Secret Weapons": Commander Neyo's exasperated reaction to WAC-47's antics upon arriving at the briefing. "A Distant Echo": Keeping a watch outside the barracks while Anakin is inside making a holo-call to Padmé, a clearly impatient Rex does this at one point.

Overlord (2012): With much fanfare, Captain Nigun of the Sunlight Scripture summons a massive angel, Dominion Authority, against Ainz Ooal Gown. To put it mildly, Ainz facepalming◊ and saying "This is stupid" was not the reaction he expected. | |

The Order of the Stick Belkar and Elan engender many facepalms from other characters, usually Roy. A list of all occurences can be found in the forum: "The Great Roy Greenhilt & Everybody Else Facepalm Count" Apparently, being a skeleton drawn in stick figure isn't enough to make Xykon immune... though technically it's more of a "skull-phalanx" there. |

A Certain Scientific Railgun: Early on, Shirai Kuroko, a young girl law-enforcer, crouches and buries her face in her hands, appalled at the sight of her good acquaintance (later properly introduced as the series' lead) high-kicking a vending machine to make it cough up a free canned drink right in front of her. No, not because of all the law things and how the two were discussing those right up to that moment. It's just that the resulting upskirt shot provokes a complaint from Kuroko how unrefined, unladylike the other girl's taste in underwear is. Kuroko does the headdesk variation, when the usually-straightforward, no-nonsense titular character (who is also her crush) lures the gangmembers with innocent charm. The charm works though. Kuroko hits her head against hard objects hard enough to shake them, and she does it often enough to become a Running Gag. It's a wonder she doesn't suffer from any injuries. |

The Snow Has Stopped The Rain. Instances include: Ichigo when his friends had decided to "rescue" him and an arrested Rukia, when he had been in the middle of trying to get her out using legal channels. Shirayuki (on herself unusually) when she realizes the ease of which she and Ichigo had been communicating via a Psychic Link should have been impossible and the implications of it are huge. Uryu barely resists this when he realizes Ganju had slipped away from the group when they're in hostile territory. He gives up and does it anyway when Ganju shows up screaming and being pursued by a large number of armed Shinigami. |

The Joueur du Grenier is a frequent practitioner of the facepalm. In fact, the conclusion of every opening sequence, just before the title shows up, is one. In the Color Dreams video (during the Raid 2020 part), he does a facepalm while wearing a giant Mickey Mouse-style glove. At the end of the second special (about cartoons), the completely over-the-top scene from The Prince of Tennis elicits this. |

Rusty and Co.: Mimic, being a Chest Monster, has neither face nor palm. That doesn't stop him, though. Then again, when you're teaming up with a ditz paladin who can be fooled by a tentacle puppet.... The male hipster vampire also does it while scrying on his sister making a fool of herself. And Y.T. after Mimic breaks the bottle holding a fairy. Derek does a two-fingers-and-thumb-around-the-nose gesture after asking Dorilys to stop hurting his patient, and she just drops Mimic to the floor. Derek takes the same pose in the background while the just-returned Princess is busy dislocating Malevolus's arm. |

Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic: Throughout the comic. Captain Fang is the main inspirator. Gren, thanks to her uncle Vesch breeding midget direwolves. Strip 206: "Hostile Takeover" Captain Fang makes Arachne a repeat offender. Done on an epic, royal level when King Eric realizes who he'd want to marry. Goldie is a Cloudcuckoolander as much as Captain Fang, but talks coherently enough to share her entertaining thoughts. Making a goblin who wants to eat her facepalm is the new record. Captain Safana manages the impressive feat of combining the facepalm with a Death Glare. Captain Fang even provokes one from a Goddess of Chaos. |

The X-Files: Over its nine-year-long run, the show had several facepalms of various flavours ("Am I the last sane person here?", "I can't believe I did something this stupid", "All right, what now, any other crazy idea?", "Oh no, not this", "Oh no, not this again!", "Could this be any more humiliating?" or "I might as well break down completely."). "Syzygy": Mulder rubs his face with a hand when Detective Angela White comes to his motel room and he's not sure what's going on exactly. "Bad Blood": Scully facepalms when Mulder wants them to compare their accounts of one curious case that involved Mulder sticking a stake into a teen's chest. The facepalm followed his Prison Rape joke about Scully' hypothetical prison mate nicknamed Large Marge. "Patient X": Mulder is among panelists at a UFO conference. Other speakers take the abductions for granted and they enthusiastically talk about "the ontological shock" that must follow. Mulder is looking down, his hands are tightly joined and his thumbs touch his nose bridge. He's deep in thought, trying to strengthen himself... because he's about to call it all bullshit and blame it on The Government as their conspiracy. "The Red and the Black": At the end, when Mulder is arrested by some military men and thrown to a car with Scully, he's tearful and he sadly covers his face. Scully touches his hands and tries to comfort him. "Rain King": Scully facepalms when Mulder suggests that Holman Hardt is manufacturing the weather. The facepalm is complete with her "look." "X-Cops": Scully holds her mouth and turns away from a camera when she finds out it's rolling for TV. "Hollywood AD": Mulder and Scully are in the theatre, watching a film based on one of their cases and their characters. The audience chuckle, the actors look interested and pleased, AD Skinner looks happy. Scully watches the film in horror, but her shock and surprise is smaller than Mulder's, who just drops his head into his hands and hides his face completely. "Hollywood AD": When Skinner tells Mulder that his friend from college, now a writer/producer, will shadow Mulder and Scully on their case, Mulder just rubs his forehead and asks if he pissed off Skinner more than usual. "Je Souhaite": Scully puts her face in both her hands because she invited some scientists from Harvard to see an invisible body which unfortunately disappeared. She's beyond embarrassed. "The Truth": Agent Doggett tells Scully that Mulder got death by lethal injection and understandably, Scully just loses it and heart-breaking sobs escape her uncontrollably. She covers her face with both her hands and continues to cry. |

A mass one occurs in The Swan Princess. Princess Odette and Prince Derek are expected to go through an Arranged Marriage but because the idea was formed while they were kids they started to hate one another after being forced to spend multiple summers with another. However, upon seeing one another as adults they instantly fall in love and Derek announces to start the wedding. Odette isn't too keen on this and asks Derek why the rush. Derek responds it's because he thinks Odette's beautiful. Odette is flattered by the compliment, but wants to know if that's the only reason Derek wants to marry her. Derek responds "what else is there?" His mother promptly started crying and everyone else groaned at Derek's sheer lack of tact. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Loki has an awesome one near the beginning of Thor when Thor decides to journey to Jotunnheim. In Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocket does a double-facepalm when Groot goes Leeroy Jenkins on their prison escape plan. Rocket also facepaws in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 after Baby Groot, being tasked to retrieve Yondu's prototype fin, instead comes back with his underwear. Avengers: Endgame: When Thor rambles about his experiences with the Aether, everyone aside from Scott (who is enthralled by it) is just waiting for him to finish, with about half the team facepalming. Bruce claps a hand to his face after witnessing past-Hulk throwing a temper tantrum, jumping up and down on a car and hurling debris. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Mantis is holding her head with both hands as Drax is giving Quill a great (i.e. disastrous) demonstration of his "grasp" of analogies. |

Grrl Power: The Alt Text of one strip is "Triple facepalm and a sidebutt", unsurprisingly thanks to Sidney. Suffice to say, Sydney inspires a lot of these in her more straight-laced coworkers, with the cake getting taken when she manages to send Maxima into the Troubled Fetal Position. Dabbler's pervy antics can also inspire this reaction to Maxima. For example, during the "interrogation" of Cooter, upon realizing that yes, he's that stupid. Maxima is not the only one to suffer from embarrassing underlings, though. Deus himself cannot help but facepalm at times from Lorlara's over-eagerness. Jabberwocky facepalms when Sydney deduces they're not doing laundry but playing Strip Poker... because they're not in a laundry room. Maxima goes for a double-facepalm when she realizes a new villain she's facing is wearing a breakaway business suit just to make a dramatic Battle Strip. In a flashback panel, Thothogoth is seen holding his claw to his face as Parfait shows him the result of her attempt to wish for a bar of gold: one doubloon... and an audit. |

In chapter 5 of Sensual Phrase one of Sakuya's fellow band mates reacts this way when he states that he wants to use Aine in a music video. In chapter 7, another one of Sakuya's fellow band mates has this reaction at Sakuya's less than subtle remark of taking Aine to his room when she passed out from drinking too much. | |

The Avatar universe: Avatar: The Last Airbender: In "The Cave of Two Lovers", Sokka finds himself doing this a lot in response to the nomads' antics. So much so that by the end of the episode: In fact, Sokka does this a lot, leading many to speculate that doing it so many times resulted in the hardening of his forehead, which was why Ty Lee hurt her hand trying to strike it in "The Chase". Zuko does it when Iroh flirts with an unattractive woman in "The Drill". Zuko's nose pinch in "The Western Air Temple", when he remembers how much of a dork he was when he began his search for the Avatar. Zuko appears to have a tendency to do this, especially in the comics.◊ Zuko◊does◊ variations◊ on◊ this◊ a lot◊, especially when he's exasperated with himself. Suki does it too in "The Boiling Rock, Part 1" when Sokka tries (and fails) to cover-up the fact that they're hatching an escape plan. "The only thing we're hatching is... an egg?" The Legend of Korra: This is Mako's reaction to Korra messing up in her first pro-bending match. The writers posted a picture of Toph doing this (with six fingers) after fans informed them that an animation error resulted in Toph having six fingers slipped through and got aired. Asami also does this when Bolin pays the wrong people to reverse the Kangaroo Court Korra's parents are in. Bolin himself does a forehead smack when Varrick ruins what is supposed to be a touching reunion between him and Zhu Li when he orders her to do some work. |

Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine: This is one of the standard XP Emotions, indicating a character who is hapless and goofy and thus can earn XP by inducing amused facepalms among the other players. Of the Glass-Maker's Dragon core characters, this honour goes to the Wishing Boy/Girl, a character whose use of the ability to rewrite the universe with few hard and fast restrictions largely boils down to "I wish seagulls were cooler" and failed attempts to get ice cream. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya: Kyon◊ does this relatively often. It's like the anime-version of Picard. Ironically, while Haruhi causes the majority of these, the particular instance in the hyperlink—along with its non-captioned original—is a mirrored shot of Kyon facepalming at himself for being asleep while Mikuru was changing in the same room. In The Movie, Itsuki does this in the background after a bit of Ship Tease between Kyon and Haruhi (in the hospital scene near the end of the movie). Doesn't happen often. |

The Mansions of the Gods: Asterix is facepalming on the poster in reaction to the idiocy of his fellow Gauls falling for the appeal of the Mansions of the Gods. The Centurion double-facepalms as Cacofonix is singing and causing a panic among the civilians, and he can't even command his legionaries over the sound. Caesar pinches the bridge of his nose when a beaten-up Squareonthehypotenus welcomes him to a banquet in the middle of the chaos. |

Star Trek: The very first one in Star Trek: The Original Series happens in the pilot episode with Captain Pike when he tries keeping up a steady stream of hateful, violent thoughts as Psychic Static. Vina, who'd been living with the Talosians for twenty years and told him she'd tried that more than once, just puts her hand to her face when the Talosians proceeded to give him the mental agony beam. Star Trek: The Next Generation: Captain Picard often does this, as the Trope Image from "Deja Q" shows. The image of Picard has become the patron saint of facepalming. The alternative "Single Head Double Facepalm" was featured in "The Offspring". Commander Riker had a memorable facepalm in "A Matter of Perspective", the very next episode after "Deja Q", humorously enough, seen here◊. There's a meme image where, in the Riker image above, they photoshop the Picard facepalm for a "double facepalm". A further "triple facepalm" also adds Worf. Picard had a pretty amusing facepalm◊ in "Symbiosis" during the first season. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Sisko is often fond of the pinching the bridge of one's nose variation of this trope. Kai Winn is most often the cause. But he lets out a few outright facepalms here and there. Star Trek: Voyager: "Death Wish": Q performs an elusively rare variation on the double facepalm. That is, two faces, one right palm per face◊ (this is not a recommended procedure for mere mortals). Oh, whatever was the gesture for? Well, Vulcan logic is no fun, basically. In "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy", the Doctor was posing as captain while aliens threatened attack. When he started improvising his lines, Janeway facepalmed. In "Projections", the Doctor gets frustrated when the tricorders won't pick up anyone else's lifesigns but register him as a human. In an attempt to figure out what's wrong, Captain Janeway orders the computer to deactivate all holograms on the ship, and she and everyone else on the ship except the Doctor disappears. The Doctor puts palm to face. |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks: Sonata Dusk's stupidity inspires this to both her co-villains at different points, Adagio primarily. Applejack reacts this way to Rarity showing up for the pre-selections in a costume worthy of The '60s, full of metal dangling shingles. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games: Flash Sentry does a double-facepalm upon meeting with Human Twilight, who naturally doesn't recognize him. Sunset Shimmer closing her welding mask over her face after Rarity "ponies up" conveys the same sentiment. Principal Cinch pinches the bridge of her nose when her students lose the cooking contest. Sunset Shimmer facepalms twice in shame after yelling at Twilight and making her cry, first right after the fact and again when Fluttershy accidentally guilt-trips her about it later. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Legend of Everfree: Pinkie Pie facepalms when the Great and Powerful Trixie mockingly "summons" the spirit of Gaea Everfree. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Forgotten Friendship: After a collective Gasp!, a facepalm is Pinkie Pie's reaction to Rainbow Dash calling their work "just a yearbook." My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rollercoaster of Friendship: Rainbow Dash facepalms after Fluttershy insists the first attraction they try should be... the kiddy coaster. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Sunset's Backstage Pass: Sunset slaps her brow when she realizes that Pinkie is messing things up with the guard when they're trying to go backstage, and that she'll have to try again "tomorrow" (i.e. the next day of the "Groundhog Day" Loop). |

The Mario Fan Games Galaxy forums contains a "facepalm" smiley, probably better known by its filename of "ugh.gif". It was used and abused so much that it was even temporarily filtered to "Don't worry, I can relate". This was taken from Something Awful. Facepunch Studios also inherited the smiley for a while, then took it out when it was abused in the In The News forum. | |

Gwen Stacy has her palm firmly glued to her face while watching Peter Parker makes a fool of himself before this universe's Mary Jane (who believes he's just a waiter). Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: Jessica Drew orders the Spiders that were in Mumbattan to return to headquarters, including Miles. Hobie Brown tries to claim that neither he nor Miles follow orders, but Miles eagerly agrees, eliciting a facepalm from Hobie who knows the truth of why the Spider-Society wants him there. |

Final Fantasy VI The opera Impresario, who's very sensitive about his operas, does this when an act goes wrong or when it may go wrong. It is probable, though, that his "face palm" is more of a corny, theatrical and/or dramatical gesture of distress, (you know, that old cover-your-face-with-your-arm/hand-whilds-wistfully-going-"Oh" thingy,) rather than the common, slightly more humorous usage of the gesture. This would make sense seeing as he is, well, the impresario of an opera. A straight example of this occurs when Gau leads Sabin and Cyan to a cave, to show them a "shiny shiny". Once they arrive... he forgets where it is, cuing a facepalm. |

Girl Genius: Frequent. The actor playing Punch in Master Payne's Heterodyne shows facepalms upon learning from Maxim and Oggie that his portrayal is way off. In the flashback of Zeetha wiping the whole fortress of the pirates who kidnapped her, at the end she smackes her brow upon realizing she left no-one alive to tell her how to get back to Skifander. Two-handed face-palm for Gil on learning from Dr. Sun that it's too late to suppress the stories about his father getting wounded and nearly killed, or the coming of a new Heterodyne heir. Agatha gets to do this too after joking that their will be a big party... but only after all the numerous problems at hand are settled. Mama Gkika slaps a hand to her forehead when Agatha clears the way to the observation tower, with a weapon that also destroys the observation tower]]. Agatha's gesture starts as a Hand Behind Head, but morphs into a facepalm when talking to the Heterodyne monster train: The Master of Paris must have established some sort of record with a double-facepalm that lasts a good 15 minutes. While being in England's main area of study, Agatha asks what this new "golden age" the sparks were talking about is. The explanation she's given makes the sparks look so delusional (saying that the queen herself, who's shown to be one of the most powerful sparks in existence, will bow to them) that she pulls one at the end. Jäger General Dimo buries his face into his clawed hand as he comes to the realization that being in charge not only means he's Surrounded by Idiots, but that his job also includes preventing the Jägers from fighting among themselves out of boredom when there are no other enemies around. |

In the Season 2 premiere of Noob, an elite player turns out to be the younger brother of Sparadrap, who's so oblivious to his gaming activities that's he's convinced that he doesn't know how to play the fictional MMORPG in which most of the story is set. The scene revealing the family relation between the two ends with Sparadrap kicking his younger brother off the computer so he can play himself, noticing that the new update of the MMORPG got installed without him doing anything and... deciding it somehow happened by itself. His younger brother's reaction inevitably ends up as this trope. | |

RoboCop: The Old Man, head of OCP, does this at least once in every movie. He does it after ED-209 malfunctions in RoboCop, and again in RoboCop 2 after viewing the suicidal RoboCop prototypes. RoboCop 3 sees Sgt. Reed do this after dealing with a lawyer and his client, a transvestite who was about to shoot a porno, after they attempt to rebut his remark about the video crew being non-union, as opposed to the fact that said porno would've involved a German Sheppard. |

Done several times in Mr. Bogus: Ratty does this at the end of the first act of the episode "Meet Mr. Bogus", in response to Bogus trimming the hedges in record time. Tommy does this in the second act of the episode "Hipster Tripster", after learning that Bogus was responsible for letting the monkeys loose in the zoo. Bogus does this in the first act of the episode "Computer Intruder", after he loses the space game that he was playing on Tommy's computer. Near the end of the episode "Kung Fu Campout", Bogus actually does this when Mrs. Anybody takes away the cake before he and Brattus could take the first bite. Tommy does this with his baseball mitt in the first act of the episode "Baseball Bogus", in response to Mr. Anybody's embarrassing cheer routine. |

In Odd Squad, this is Olive's defining Character Tic, often pinching the bridge of her nose whenever someone does something stupid or she becomes exasperated. She also does a double-facepalm in "Moustache Confidential" after Otto gifts Ori a puppy during the former's interrogation of the latter. Otto ends up doing a double-facepalm in "The Potato Ultimato" when watching Oscar play with his figurines. He also does another facepalm in "Captain Fun" and another in "Disorder in the Court", although those are one-handed ones. Ms. O does a facepalm once in "The O Games", and another one in "The Voice". She also does another one at the end of "Who Let the Doug Out?", only instead of using her palms, she curls her hands into fists. Even the Genki Girl Olympia isn't above facepalming when getting frustrated or anxious, as shown in episodes like "Extreme Cakeover" and "Dr. O: Party Time, Excellent". Otis does one at the end of "Three's Company" when Olympia suggests that she, him, and the rest of the agents can work in Ms. O's office. In "Slow Day", while he is initially so distraught by the slowed-down clients that he actually starts to cry and lays his head on the desk, he eventually does a proper facepalm. Oona's facepalms are often the result of Olympia's antics, such as in "Drop Gadget Repeat" and "The Cherry-on-Top-inator". |

I'm a Marvel... And I'm a DC: Green Goblin's drugged antics make Spider-Man facepalm himself. Green Goblin manages to make Batman do this. And Green Goblin wasn't even drugged at the time! Green Lantern does this while Deadpool was singing to Ryan Reynolds. |

René in 'Allo 'Allo! facepalms frequently when Michelle of the Resistance introduces another of her brilliant plans, when his wife sings, when Monsieur Leclerc messes up or shows up in his Paper-Thin Disguise, when malaproperstastic Officer Crabtree opens his mouth, when Camp Gay Lieutenant Grubers hits on him.

Apollo 13: Flight Director Gene Kranz reacts with a subtle one and some exasperated snarking on learning that the only available spare carbon-dioxide scrubbers on the stricken spacecraft (from the dead Command Module) are square, and the receptacle for the only working scrubber system (in the Lunar Module) is round. Another one happens a little later on, when Mission Control MacGyvers a solution, which includes using their spare urine bag. Which leads to this exchange: |

Final Fantasy: Squall Leonhart of Final Fantasy VIII has a facepalm as one of his stock gestures, and he uses it often. The mannerism is iconic enough that it was carried over into the Kingdom Hearts games as well. Final Fantasy VI The opera Impresario, who's very sensitive about his operas, does this when an act goes wrong or when it may go wrong. It is probable, though, that his "face palm" is more of a corny, theatrical and/or dramatical gesture of distress, (you know, that old cover-your-face-with-your-arm/hand-whilds-wistfully-going-"Oh" thingy,) rather than the common, slightly more humorous usage of the gesture. This would make sense seeing as he is, well, the impresario of an opera. A straight example of this occurs when Gau leads Sabin and Cyan to a cave, to show them a "shiny shiny". Once they arrive... he forgets where it is, cuing a facepalm. Final Fantasy X: Tidus applies Percussive Maintenance to an ancient computer console. Rikku responds in tried and tested fashion. Lulu responds to a lot of Tidus's and Wakka's shenanigans by burying her face in her hand. When Yuna emerges from an Al Bhed ship, having beaten up its crew - rendering your party's rescue pointless - Lulu, Kimahri and even Tidus are shown doing this at once. Then the normal victory music plays. Wakka does it when the party arrives in Luca and Tidus grabs a megaphone and starts shouting trash at the Luca Goers. |

Saturday Night Live: In a 2020 sketch with Brad Pitt as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the reaction after a clip of Donald Trump suggesting we should use ultraviolet light inside the body to fight COVID-19 is naturally a facepalm. | |

In Haganai, Kodaka does one in episode 3 at the pool, after he defuses a confrontation between 3 guys and Sena. She then stops them from leaving, only to continue insulting them, and forcing Kodaka to save her yet again by utilizing his Face of a Thug to scare the three guys away. He later berates her for acting that way. | |

Naru-Hina Chronicles: Sakura does this when Hinata behaves like a Clingy Jealous Girl after Naruto revealed he had been kissed by Nanami. Sasuke does the same thing when he and Sakura realize that Naruto managed to sneak off from his hospital room once again and calls his friend "a glutton for punishment" given how much Sakura hates it when he does that. Naruto facepalms after Sai gets a slap on the face by a girl named Jirian when he's a little too honest about his intentions towards her. At the end of Chapter 97, when Team 7 are behaving too much like the Vitriolic Best Buds that they are, Shizune can be seen facepalming in the background of one panel. Anko does this when Kei agrees to let Sai touch her chest. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: In Sonic Colors (Wii version), Sonic does a facepalm in the cutscene where Tails is attempting to figure out what the Wisps are saying. ("He says his name is Talks-a-lot and he's from a far off soda...") Yacker (the Wisp Tails was trying to translate for) also facepalms. At the exact same time as Sonic does. Sonic facepalms up to twice more throughout Sonic Generations. First time is if Chemical Plant Act 2 is the second act of that level to be completed—after Amy speaks her line, Modern Sonic facepalms. He facepalms once more during the Reveal. |

True Potential: Han facepalms when he realizes that teaching Naruto how to meditate is going to take a lot of work. In the omake from Chapter 13, this is Kurenai's reaction after reading Anko's scroll titled "How to be a badass proctor for the exams" (along with tossing it to the side). Ibiki does this when Anko yells "HEAR THAT WHISKERS? EVEN MORINO FUCKING IBIKI IS PRAISING YOU!" to Naruto during the final part of the Konoha Chūnin Exams. In Chapter 39, Masakado facepalms when both Naruto and Tayuya fail to make a sealing paper remain stuck on the wall. Upon seeing Naruto giving a peck to Hinata, Shikamaru has this reaction as he finally realizes that the reason why Anko made him and Dosu come along with her to do some errands was just so Naruto and Hinata could spend some time together alone. Han has this reaction more than once when Tayuya tries to find him a girlfriend. Similarly, Kurotsuchi, Roto, and Risho all facepalm when Tayuya only has one single argument over Susumu dating Han (which is that they're both artists). In Shimo, Naruto and Hinata try to find some way to help Fū after the latter lost control of Ch�mei. The Hyuga has the idea of asking a jinchūriki to talk to Fū. In response, the Uzumaki comments that he could send a message to Han in Iwa, only for Hinata to point out that the two jinchūriki from Kumo (Killer Bee and Yugito) are both present in Shimo. Naruto facepalms upon realizing his mistake and chuckles over it. Risho facepalms when Roto makes the mistake of asking Kurotsuchi if it's true that she and Shikamaru "are really that kinky in bed". Kido Tsumiki facepalms and says "Zip it, geezer." to Yoshikane when the latter feels the need to insult the former while they're trying to exit Konoha. |

An example from The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (even funnier when everyone else says stuff along the lines of, "THAT'S BRILLIANT!"): There's also Victor doing this after PC Mackintosh says "the beast [were-rabbit] isn't actually dead yet?!" with a megaphone. It's even funnier while said character is doing the gesture, the said officer said "oops" with a megaphone. |

Much Ado About Shakespeare: Love's Labours Won: So much shame, so much face-palming! It's all over the fic. Archie Kennedy scrubs his hand over his face when he realizes he and Horatio Hornblower will spend 50 hours together on shore leave and he needs to hide his feelings for his best friend and superior officer. Horatio sighs and runs a hand over his face when Archie yet again quotes Shakespeare and he's most definitely not in the mood because he barely slept and is tired as hell. Archie drops his head into his hands and bites back on the urge to scream. One of his post-panic attack's face-palms. As Archie's still recovering from his panic attack, he sighs and runs a hand over his face. Archie runs his hands through his hair, then rubs them roughly over his face "as though to scrub the last half hour out of existence" — also still in the streets after his panic attack. Horatio wants to check a quote from King John. He sighs and "runs a hand slowly over his face" when he realizes he unfairly accused Archie of cheating in the bet and not valuing their friendship. Archie flops down upon his bed, lies on his back and his hands cover his face. It happens as Archie is shamed when he remembers he was drunk and flirted with Horatio in public. Archie buries his face in his pillow as he remembers his self-pitying recitation of Sonnet 25. Archie jerks slightly and "rubs at his eyes" when Horatio comes to their room they are sharing at the inn. |

El Goonish Shive: Susan's facepalm reflex was developed with the help of her mom, and years of her acquaintance with Tedd only refined it. And now "Little Nase" working as semi-autonomous body extension allows her to stare in disbelief and do fairy-facepalm at the same time! Grace seems to have natural talents for causing this reaction. Sarah already worked with Tedd, so this was not a clean experiment. Mr. Raven, though, was facepalmed fair and square. Tedd and Susan getting into another slap fight triggers one for Sarah. |

Team Fortress 2 The Spy class on a losing team can be seen face palming if he is still alive during the aptly named "Humiliation" phase. He also does this in one of the official comics: In "A Smissmas Story", he face palms and rests his head on the desk when Soldier (acting as Spy and Scout's lawyer) encourages Scout to go with a completely ludicrous testimony. The Sniper does the hat version in his "Meet the Sniper" video when he's trying to talk to his father on the phone. |

Lulu responds to a lot of Tidus's and Wakka's shenanigans by burying her face in her hand. When Yuna emerges from an Al Bhed ship, having beaten up its crew - rendering your party's rescue pointless - Lulu, Kimahri and even Tidus are shown doing this at once. Then the normal victory music plays. Wakka does it when the party arrives in Luca and Tidus grabs a megaphone and starts shouting trash at the Luca Goers. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Twilight's typical response to the strange happenings around her, though some other ponies get one in now and then, too. The other Ponies get in on it too, with Rainbow Dash doing a Double Facehoof at times. Behold fanart of a quadruple facehoof. Angel Bunny does a facepaw whenever he finds Fluttershy frustrating. One of the Diamond Dogs facepaws when Rarity is aggravating him. Spike faceclaws from time to time. Notably in "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)": Spike's reaction to learning that the trio never made it out of the shallow harbor is a faceclaw with snout-pulling. In "Inspiration Manifestation", Owlowiscious simulates this with his flight feathers when Spike reads the cover page of the book and says "I'm likin' the looks of this one!" Even more impressive in that he uses one of his wings to do it while in mid-flight, and still remains airborne. In "Equestria Games", Spike's cringe-worthy attempt at the Cloudsdale anthem naturally induces this to much of the audience (both in and out of universe). "Bloom & Gloom": This is Octavia's reaction in Sweetie Belle's dream when the latter gets a broom-and-bucket cutie mark. Then Rarity does a double-facehoof when she has to score her sister's performance. In "Parental Glideance", Rainbow Dash is seen doing both a facehoof and a facewing while watching her Amazingly Embarrassing Parents' antics. Now compiled in this handy compilation! Begins at 2:45. For the background ponies, this seems to be Bon-Bon's default reaction to Lyra's antics when portrayed by the fandom. Octavia and Vinyl Scratch get in on it whenever the other tries to listen to their preferred music genre. In fact, the only real common pairing of ponies that doesn't have a facehoof specializer (regularly, at least) is Derpy and Doctor Whooves. Probably because they both have their antics at the same time. |

Doctor Who: The Doctor does this on occasion. One (staged) Hilarious Outtake has a CGI werewolf face-palming. The Doctor gives one in "Doctor Who and the Silurians" when Lethbridge-Stewart interrupts his questioning of Ms. Dawson just as she's about to come clean. "The Age of Steel": The Tenth Doctor does this during his conversation with the Cyber-Controller. "Resolution" has the Thirteenth Doctor do a particularly exasperated one upon learning that UNIT has been suspended due to budget cuts. |

With embarrassment when Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino are caught by security snitching a pair of skis, tearing up a freshly groomed mountain trail, throwing snowballs, and committing other transgressions in "The Ski Trip." With irritation upon discovering how badly fouled up her computer has become in "The Autobiography." With embarrassment at seeing her three food-covered pets just after they have smashed a shopping cart into the glass front door of the title venue in "The Supermarket." Mittens covers her face with a paw when Bolt starts in on a Hurricane of Puns in "The Coyote." When James the Director realizes his TV show script has been changed radically and he won't get to use the music he had hoped for in "The Pilot," he puts his face in his hand and sighs dejectedly. |

South Park: Stan is a big fan of the "pinching the bridge of one's nose" type. It makes sense, as, thanks to Flanderization, he has a Liz Lemon Job. Often accompanied by a muttered "Oh goddamnit..." Apparently this is because series co-creator Trey Parker (on whom Stan is based) does this a lot in Real Life. In one episode, we see his mother doing it along side with him, implying that he picked it up from her. Given to who she's married to, that may, very well, be the case. Cartman does this in the third part of the Black Friday trilogy when Princess Kenny breaks up a blockade of ships trying to keep a shipment of PS4s out of America just by being cute. |

The Legend of Korra: This is Mako's reaction to Korra messing up in her first pro-bending match. The writers posted a picture of Toph doing this (with six fingers) after fans informed them that an animation error resulted in Toph having six fingers slipped through and got aired. Asami also does this when Bolin pays the wrong people to reverse the Kangaroo Court Korra's parents are in. Bolin himself does a forehead smack when Varrick ruins what is supposed to be a touching reunion between him and Zhu Li when he orders her to do some work. |

Right after Debbie leaves Nolan to give a bath to Mark Grayson's duct-taped body, Nolan briefly gives off a Death Glare because of Mark's powers not manifesting. Nolan's expression quickly disappears and his face is filled with a saddened look and then facepalms himself, most likely for his Conflicting Loyalty towards his family and Viltrum. | |

Dragon Ball Z: In the Cell Games, Mr. Satan opts to fight Cell first and starts showboating in front of him. Then he decides to show off by breaking 14 of the 15 tiles he prepared with a karate chop to intimidate Cell. Krillin faceplams at the sheer idiocy of the man. In the Buu Saga, Gotenks's antics were enough to make Piccolo facepalm. Goku also does one after Vegeta breaks the punching machine at the 24th Budokai, which the rest of the group had been taking care to hit very lightly so as not to damage it. In Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' and Dragon Ball Super, Whis's response to Goku getting shot in the back because he dropped his guard is a facepalm, because this is exactly what he warned Goku about earlier in the story. |

Star Trek: Voyager: "Death Wish": Q performs an elusively rare variation on the double facepalm. That is, two faces, one right palm per face◊ (this is not a recommended procedure for mere mortals). Oh, whatever was the gesture for? Well, Vulcan logic is no fun, basically. In "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy", the Doctor was posing as captain while aliens threatened attack. When he started improvising his lines, Janeway facepalmed. In "Projections", the Doctor gets frustrated when the tricorders won't pick up anyone else's lifesigns but register him as a human. In an attempt to figure out what's wrong, Captain Janeway orders the computer to deactivate all holograms on the ship, and she and everyone else on the ship except the Doctor disappears. The Doctor puts palm to face. |

The Brotherhood of Shadows' members have several despite their short screen time: Lex Luthor, when Dr. Claw accidentally shows his true face. Double-facepalm for Magneto when Dr. Claw and Dr. Doom start arguing. Then Dr. Claw facepalming (with his gloved hand) at Doom's extremely lame joke. |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games: Flash Sentry does a double-facepalm upon meeting with Human Twilight, who naturally doesn't recognize him. Sunset Shimmer closing her welding mask over her face after Rarity "ponies up" conveys the same sentiment. Principal Cinch pinches the bridge of her nose when her students lose the cooking contest. Sunset Shimmer facepalms twice in shame after yelling at Twilight and making her cry, first right after the fact and again when Fluttershy accidentally guilt-trips her about it later. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Captain Picard often does this, as the Trope Image from "Deja Q" shows. The image of Picard has become the patron saint of facepalming. The alternative "Single Head Double Facepalm" was featured in "The Offspring". Commander Riker had a memorable facepalm in "A Matter of Perspective", the very next episode after "Deja Q", humorously enough, seen here◊. There's a meme image where, in the Riker image above, they photoshop the Picard facepalm for a "double facepalm". A further "triple facepalm" also adds Worf. Picard had a pretty amusing facepalm◊ in "Symbiosis" during the first season. |
