A classic Jackface.

"Jackface" is a Lost-related slang term referring to Jack Shephard.

To quote the entry from UrbanDictionary.com on Jackface:

“

A term used to describe the contorted facial expression Matthew Fox's character, "Jack Shephard", makes when he is angry, yelling, or just plain acting crazy on the television show "Lost".

”

e.g. "Did you see that Jackface Jack made when he was screaming last night on Lost?"

The JackFace Phenomenon has even inspired a 2009 NCAA style Tournament of JackFaces. Click to vote for the most intense JackFace EVER!¹

Fans have created a Lost drinking game centered on Jackface. When someone notices one, they call out "Jackface!", and all fans playing must take a drink of their beverage.²

Whilst Jackface is a popular Lost internet meme, the fans mean no disrespect towards Matthew Fox's portrayal of Jack Shephard.
