The 'Hell yeah brother, cheers from Iraq' catchphrase originated in late 2018 on the r/NFL subreddit. A user named u/neb_relool responded to various comments in a thread with this exact phrase, regardless of the context. The sheer repetition and positive energy of the post turned it into an instant copypasta and viral meme. It is typically used as a versatile, supportive, and slightly absurd response to signify agreement or shared excitement. While the original context was sports-related, the meme has evolved into a global symbol of internet camaraderie, often paired with images of celebratory crowds, soldiers, or iconic pop culture figures.
