The Third World Success Kid meme features a photo of a young boy from Africa dancing joyfully in front of a woman. It first appeared on Reddit in late 2011 and quickly gained popularity as a subversion of typical third world charity tropes. Instead of focusing on hardship, the meme uses the boy's exuberant energy to celebrate everyday wins or fortunate situations, often contrasting mundane first-world problems with overwhelming happiness. It is widely considered a wholesome and lighthearted addition to the Advice Animals genre.
