The 'Everything Went Better Than Expected' meme is a cornerstone of early internet culture, specifically originating from the Rage Comic series on 4chan around 2008. The character features a peaceful, satisfied smile with eyes closed, representing the ultimate sense of relief after a stressful situation concludes positively. It was originally created as an optimistic counterpart to the 'Rage Guy' (FFFUUU-) character, typically appearing as the final panel in short comic strips. Over a decade later, it remains a globally recognized symbol for those moments when life throws a curveball, but you somehow manage to knock it out of the park.
