Some variants paired him with the character Pepe the Frog (catchphrase "feels good/bad man") in what Feldman describes as a "platonic romance within the memescape". Wojak was also paired with the template phrase "that feel" or "that feel when", shortened to "tfw". The image spread to other imageboards, including 4chan, where by 2011 an image of two Wojaks hugging each other under the caption "I know that feel bro" gained popularity. Brian Feldman of Intelligencer describes Wojak's expression as "pained but dealing with it." According to him, the image originally came from the Polish imageboard vichan, where it was posted with the filename "ciepła twarz.jpg" ('warm face'). "Wojak" was originally the nickname of a Polish user on the defunct German imageboard Krautchan, who started posting the image around 2010, often accompanied with lament about not having a girlfriend.
