The Happy Guy, famously known as the 'Everything went better than expected' face, is a cornerstone of the rage comic phenomenon that dominated the internet in the late 2000s. Originating on 4chan around 2008, this crudely drawn character features a wide, contented smile and wide eyes, signaling a sense of relief and triumph. It is almost exclusively used as the punchline or final panel in a comic strip where a potentially disastrous situation turns out surprisingly well. As one of the most recognizable faces in the Rage Face universe, it continues to represent those small, relatable victories in daily life.
