AboutWhat does the meme depict?
"Congratulations! You Are Being Rescued" meme features a scene from the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The template typically shows the reprogrammed Imperial enforcer droid K-2SO, voiced by Alan Tudyk, grabbing the protagonist Jyn Erso and throwing her onto the ground, while declaring, 'Congratulations! You are being rescued.' This image is often used to humorously comment on situations where help is offered but is either unwelcome or has ulterior motives.
OriginWho did it first?
