The Critic was a 1990s animated sitcom centred on New York film critic Jay Sherman, voiced by Jon Lovitz, whose exaggerated reactions became a large part of its humour. This enthusiastic yes fits that style perfectly, sounding like a critic surrendering to something he unexpectedly enjoys. Shared as a short reaction clip, it has found a second life in memes and video edits, where a brief burst of gleeful approval works better than a longer explanation. Its theatrical delivery keeps it instantly recognisable even out of context.
