Hip hip hooray is a long standing traditional cheer in English speaking countries, traditionally led by one person calling hip hip and a group answering hooray three times for birthdays, toasts and sporting wins. Long before soundboards, it was heard at parties, schools and public celebrations as a simple way to honour someone. Online, creators shortened it into a quick, corny celebration sting and paired it with reaction clips, where it now sits alongside an extended yay as a deliberately over the top way to mark good news.
