The format works because Fassbender's expression is so genuinely content that it elevates even the most trivial achievement to an art form.

For celebrating with a raised glass, see Leonardo DiCaprio Cheers (casual toast).","format":"classic","howToMake":["Top text describes or shows what you're admiring. Keep it specific.
