What's the story behind these?

Looks like a colourized version of the Mr Water smilie, originally created in the thread(s) of the same name.

Why someone decided to buy it now, 8 and a half years after the original thread, is beyond me. I couldn't find the original smilie, but its just a black and white version of the above. Here's the source though.

I figured it's because his smile actually bisects his face.

The idea behind :unsmigghh: is that the smith face is going absolutely insane. It's kind of like :getin: in that it's used for ideas that are crazy in one way or another (crazy awesome, crazy intense, crazy gruesome, etc.).

You guys are overthinking things. Looks like he's just laughing maniacally and the bottom jaw is getting cut off by the smilie size limit. The red thing is his tongue.

That's Mr. Green Water. Dinosaur Jerk wanted to see if he could convince someone in FYAD to buy his not-very-green recolor of a really lovely smiley for no reason at all, and eventually somebody (Koos Group, maybe?) did. Which, when you think about it, is really less embarrassing than a lot of the reasons in this thread.

Judging from the "gb2hd2k" name, it probably has something to do with Helldump 2000. GBS was a favorite target of theirs.

Quoting this so that you can't retract the fact that you confused Boy George for a sexy lady.
