'''F**k Yeah''', also known as '''Close Enough''' or '''Like A Boss''' (for people who ~~don't~~ like swearing), is a series of four-pane cartoon strips featuring a stick figure looking rather self-complacent and quite frankly, for all the right reasons. Originally posted via /b/ board on February 11, 2010, these cartoons illustrate all sorts of triumphant moments in our daily lives that make us feel awesome, like when you wake up a few seconds before the morning alarm goes off. This phenomenon can be also seen as the antithesis to [[Rage Comics|Rage comics]], another four-panel series originating from 4chan circa late 2008. This meme shares some similarities with the advice animal Success Kid.

== History ==

While the original post is no longer available, Know Your Meme user Stefan published the earliest known version of the meme on February 11, 2010. The meme features a stick figure playing and winning a level in a rhythm video game ''Guitar Hero''. However, Know Your Meme users previously reported that the meme comes from the /b/ message board, with its earliest appearance being February 11, 2010. As a Close Enough Guy, the character was shared on humor site Regretful Morning on March 17, 2010<ref name='compilation'>https://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/original-content/80915071/</ref> in a compilation of Fuck Yeah comics, showing a character who has just had sex but was unable to bring his partner to orgasm.<ref>http://regretfulmorning.com/2010/03/20-humorous-fuck-yea-comics/</ref>

== Web usage ==

Many early examples of the meme are no longer available. On February 14, 2010, eBaum's World user robertRAGE published one of the earliest examples online, which features a stick figure playing on a pogo stick and saying ''"fuck yea"'' when they successfully stop themselves from falling.<ref name='compilation'/> That day, versions of the comic also appeared on the website xupwupx.nl.<ref>https://forum.xupwup.nl/topic/478/Fuck_yea</ref>

=== Like A Boss ===

'''Like A Boss''' is a term occasionally associated with the F**k Yeah guy that also implies that someone does something really well. This name is also sometimes used instead of F**k Yeah for people who ~~don't~~ like to use offensive language.
