Homer Simpson is the central character of The Simpsons, the long-running American animated sitcom that began in 1989, and his woohoo has become one of his most recognisable catchphrases alongside his frustrated doh. The shout is typically heard when Homer gets something he wants, from a donut to a stroke of luck, and clips of it spread widely through reaction videos, memes and soundboards. Because the voice and the feeling are instantly familiar even without context, it still works as a shorthand for pure, uncomplicated excitement in short-form edits today.
