The 'Congratulations' meme is a legendary clip taken from the series finale of the 1995 anime 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. The scene features the protagonist, Shinji Ikari (voiced by Megumi Ogata), standing in a surreal dreamscape while the entire main cast—including characters like Misato Katsuragi (Kotono Mitsuishi) and Asuka Langley Soryu (Yuko Miyamura)—encircle him, clapping their hands and chanting 'Congratulations!' in a bizarrely upbeat manner. Originally intended as a profound psychological breakthrough for the character, the internet quickly repurposed it for the sake of irony. Today, the clip is a staple of 'Dank Memes' culture, used to celebrate hollow victories, minor accomplishments, or even complete failures. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of receiving sarcastic praise from friends or the internet at large. Whether you finally folded your laundry or survived a minor social inconvenience, this template is the go-to for mock celebration and existential absurdity. Example Caption Ideas: 1. 'When you successfully wake up on your first alarm after snoozing it 8 times.', 2. 'Me after doing the bare minimum at work today.', 3. 'When the group chat actually agrees on a place to eat without arguing.'
