Homer Simpson is the central father character in The Simpsons, the long running animated series created by Matt Groening that began in 1989 and voiced by Dan Castellaneta. His Woohoo became one of his most quoted catchphrases, used in episodes whenever donuts, money or an easy win appears. Clips of the cheer spread through meme edits, reaction videos and soundboards in the 2010s, where its short length made it easy to drop into other footage. It remains popular because the expression is understood instantly, even without any context from the episode.
