The chant comes from Futurama, the animated science-fiction comedy created by Matt Groening, and appears in the season three episode Insane in the Mainframe. It is sung for Dr. Zoidberg, the Planet Express crew's lobster-like alien doctor, whose constant failures make the brief celebration especially funny. Shared first by Futurama fans, the clip later spread through meme edits and reaction videos. It endures as a compact way to cheer an overlooked character or person.

Dr. Zoidberg's 'hooray for Zoidberg' chant from Futurama, used by fans to celebrate an unlikely win or cheer on an underdog in memes and edits.
The clip captures Futurama's hapless alien doctor, Dr. John Zoidberg, leading a brief, off-key celebration of himself. A small chorus joins in with the repeated phrase, delivered in a wavering, theatrical singing voice that sounds both proud and slightly desperate, as if Zoidberg is trying to convince himself he is loved. The short burst is instantly recognisable to fans because it turns his usual failure and rejection into a moment of joyful self-congratulation. Played over a video, it adds a warm, comic punch, making an awkward victory feel funnier and more endearing rather than triumphant.
