The Success Kid meme features a reaction image of a baby boy at the beach, clenching his fist with a determined and somewhat smug facial expression. The image is commonly used in image macros that either depict personal victories or frustrations, often structured in an advice animal style with captions detailing scenarios that end unexpectedly well.
The meme originated from a photograph taken by Laney Griner of her then 11-month-old son, Sammy, on August 26, 2007. Laney Griner uploaded this picture to her personal Flickr account and also made it available on Getty Images, although it is no longer hosted there.[1]
