Potter Puppet Pals is a legendary puppet web series created by Neil Cicierega, with the 'Harry Potter Is Awesome' video debuting in 2007. The clip features hand-puppet versions of Harry, Ron, and Hermione (all voiced by Cicierega) performing a high-energy, absurdist musical number. Harry leads the song, repeatedly declaring 'Harry Potter is awesome!' while Ron and Hermione provide enthusiastic backup vocals and dance along in the background. This specific sequence captures the peak of early YouTube humor, blending simple visuals with a catchy, repetitive beat that stuck in every millennial's head. In modern meme culture, this clip is the gold standard for representing unearned confidence, narcissism, or the feeling of being 'on top of the world' after a very minor success. It is commonly used to depict situations where someone is being overly hyped up by their friends or when a person is feeling themselves a bit too much. Example captions include: 'Me when I successfully order for myself at a restaurant,' 'When the group project gets a C+ and you know you carried,' and 'Hyping up the homie before his first date.'
