'Arrow's Oliver Is The Best Response GIF

by Caitlyn Callegari

If you’re a fan of Arrow, (and really, at this point, how can you not be?), you know very well that Starling City’s hooded hero is a fairly stand up guy. You know, aside from the vigilante killings, the break-ins, the damaging of private and public properties — blah, blah, blah. No big deal! On the other hand, his alter ego, Oliver Queen, is a bit of a grump. A lovable grump, yes — but a grump nonetheless. He’s sort of terrible in general at hiding his perpetual state of disdain for the world because of this, but, the most apparent proof that he disapproves of nearly everyone and everything around him is without a doubt his A+ facial expressions — like, they're so grumpy, they make Grumpy Cat look like a ray of sunshine.

Because Oliver Queen has contorted his beautiful mug into so many varied and epic faces of disgust, discontent, and dissatisfaction, it’s become apparent to me that it can be applicable to all of us in our own lives. Thanks to the wondrous world wide web, we have a plethora of GIFs of his epic grimace, for us to use at our disposal no matter what situation we're in — and I say we take advantage of them!

So, to get you started — and because we can’t all brood as well or as long as a superhero — here are 12 GIFs of Oliver Queen’s grimace of disapproval for you to use in nearly any instance.
