Michael Phelps is many things. He's a talented swimmer. He's a daddy (in all senses of the word). He's the most decorated Olympic athlete in the world. And now, he's also the subject of the Rio Olympics' funniest meme to date: #PhelpsFace.
Right before the men's 200 meter butterfly semifinals on Monday night, cameras caught the moment Michael was sitting in the athelete's waiting room, listening to music, trying to remain calm while awaiting competition. While it's obvious Michael isn't letting anything distract him mentally or emotionally from the competition at hand, the look on his face is telling a whole completely different story.
And the internet went crazy with jokes because of it.

No matter how mad/irritated he looks, we'll always have a soft spot in our hearts for Michael's face.
