A Winner Is You is a legendary example of Engrish originating from the 1986 Nintendo Entertainment System game Pro Wrestling. After a match, the victory screen would display this grammatically incorrect phrase next to the winning wrestler. It gained massive popularity on early internet message boards like 4chan and Something Awful during the early 2000s. The meme is typically used to mock unearned confidence or to sarcastically celebrate trivial achievements, turning a simple mistranslation into a timeless cultural shorthand for ironic success in both gaming and everyday life.
