Madgeclap

Madgeclap is a popular emote depicting an angry green Pepe the Frog character wearing blue clothing while clapping. The emote visually combines the concept of being 'mad' (angry) with a clapping motion, creating a perfect visual representation of sarcastic or begrudging applause.

The emote is used to express mock approval, frustration, or disappointment in a humorous way. Unlike regular clapping emotes that convey genuine appreciation, Madgeclap's angry expression adds a layer of irony or exaggerated annoyance, making it perfect for sarcastically 'applauding' something the viewer finds frustrating or disappointing.

Madgeclap was first uploaded to 7TV on June 6, 2021, by a user named 'mehrad4'. The emote is part of the broader Pepe the Frog emote family, which originated from Matt Furie's 'Boy's Club' comic character created in 2005.

Like many Pepe-based emotes, Madgeclap evolved as part of the Twitch community's expansion of the Pepe character into various emotional expressions and reactions. The emote has been adopted by multiple Twitch streamers and their communities, including users like CupOfKathi, chipsTM, Codiant, NAIIKAII, and StillMilky.

Madgeclap is typically used in Twitch chat in the following situations:

• When a streamer makes an obvious mistake but tries to justify it
• During disappointing gameplay moments or poor decision-making
• When something goes wrong but the chat wants to sarcastically 'congratulate' the outcome
• As a response to underwhelming reveals or announcements
• When viewers want to express mock approval of something they actually disagree with

The emote requires viewers to have the 7TV extension installed to both use and see it in Twitch chat, as it's not a native Twitch emote but rather a third-party extension emote.
