The 'Whassup' greeting exploded in 1999 through a Budweiser commercial where friends shouted the drawn-out word over the phone, making it one of the decade's most quoted ad catchphrases. Scary Movie, the 2000 horror spoof directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, borrowed the gag for its opening scene, with Ghostface greeting Cindy Campbell with the same elongated 'Wazzup' before threatening her. The mash-up of a famous beer ad and a horror icon cemented the line in soundboard culture, and it still resurfaces every Halloween in edits, prank calls and costume videos.
About this sound
Ghostface's 'Wazzup' greeting from the 2000 horror parody Scary Movie, spoofing the Budweiser ad. Creators use it for jump-scare greetings and horror meme edits.
This 1.4-second clip captures Ghostface's raspy, voice-changer-distorted greeting 'Wazzup', lifted straight from the 2000 horror parody Scary Movie. The drawled slur of the word spoofs the late-1990s Budweiser beer commercials, where friends greeted each other with an exaggerated 'Whassup', and the killer uses it as his mocking opening line when he phones Cindy Campbell. The voice is slightly garbled by the phone filter, and instantly recognisable to anyone who grew up on the film. It lands as both a greeting and a threat, which is why editors love it: it sets up a scare, then releases it as a joke, flipping the mood of a clip in under two seconds.
