View source for All Cheering, All the Time

{{trope}}
A [[Comedy Trope]]. Cheerleaders are often shown speaking as if they were cheering in ordinary conversation. They might be doing this as a form of practice, or because they are just too stupid to know any other way of communicating. Alternatively, they might be shown cheering at inappropriate events; such as chess matches.

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The ''[[Ranma ½]]'' character Mariko, though we only ever see her when she's actively being a [[Martial Arts and Crafts|Combat Cheerleader]] so she might not talk that way in civvies. Then again, this is ''Ranma ½''.

== [[Film]] ==
* A deleted scene from ''[[Bring It On]]'' showed one character reviewing for the SATs by converting the answers into cheers to make them easier for her to memorise.

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The Spartan Cheerleaders from ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. They consisted of students Arianna (Cheri Oteri) and Craig (Will Ferrell), a pair of awkward, self-conscious pariahs who led unusual cheerleading routines at school functions to which they had not been invited.
* Parodied in a game of "Scenes from a Hat" on the American ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'': "Moments When Cheerleading is Inappropriate".
{{quote|'''Greg Proops''': Grandpa's dead! Gimme a D! Gimme an E! Gimme-Come on! Where's your enthusiasm?
'''Ryan Stiles''': Vasectomy! Vasectomy! Clip clip clip!
'''Wayne Brady''': Okay! Somebody's goin' to the 'lectric chair! Gonna fry! Gonna fry! Somebody's goin' to the 'lectric chair! Gonna- Come on! (''makes buzzing sounds'') Say what?! Come on! Come on! }}
* In ''[[Zoey 101]]'', the titular character and two friends are trying to make money for something I forgot so Logan hires them as cheerleaders for a week or so, at first he makes them cheer on him for nearly everything but then they actually cheer at everything (getting rejected, taking a bath, sleeping) so he gets tired of it and pays them to shut up.
* An episode of ''[[California Dreams]]'' had three cheerleaders bid on a dating auction this way. As a [[Running Gag]], they reappear a few more times in the episode; cheering in unison whenever they speak to or interact with anybody.
* Invoked and [[Played for Laughs]] in an episode of ''[[Even Stevens]]'' where Ren joins the squad, only to be criticized for not being perky enough; she takes this to heart and begins cheering all the time. This takes a turn for the bizarre where she cheers while doing laundary and suddenly realizes/cheers that a sock is missing...and still manages to make it rhyme and keep the pace.

== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* When Paige was trying out for cheerleading in ''[[FoxTrot]]'', she started using cheers all the time; including while giving a (correct) answer to a question on ''[[The Scarlet Letter]]'' in English class. In a much later arc, she joined the JJV (junior junior varsity) cheer squad and was sent to cheer at events like chess matches and debates.
* In ''[[Zits]]'', a group of cheerleaders use cheers to encourage Pierce to put some litter in the bin, causing him to remark that "There is such a thing as too much school spirit".

== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Psychonauts]]'' has Crystal and Clem, who deliver pretty much all their lines in cheer form.

== [[Web Animation]] ==
* Contrary to expectations, Cheerleader of the ''[[Teen Girl Squad]]'' does not do this. However, Cheerleader Brian does, and his constant cheering ''at the prom'' ends up frustrating (and ultimately [[They Killed Kenny Again|killing]]) Cheerleader.

== Webcomics ==
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' sketchbook [http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2010-11-11 explains] why "Cheerleadra" is an awful superhero concept.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The ''[[Veggie Tales]]'' episode "Tomato Sawyer And Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue" had a trio of female pea cheerleaders who showed up at random times during the story.
* ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'': "2-4-6-8! I think I might regurgitate!"
* ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'': "2-4-6-8! Battle Snax is really great!"
* ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' had a competition wherein Timmy sabotaged Vicky. Her cheer pretty much was all her gross habits. The girl who won improvised a cheer indicating that she had none of Vicky's gross habits.
{{quote|'''Vicky''': I lie a lot, I cheat in school, I'm scared of cows, love being cruel! I pick my nose when no one looks! I wipe it on your history book!
'''Star''': I love cows and doing cheers - ain't blown my nose the past two years! }}
* In ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man|The Spectacular Spider Man]]'', one episode has the supporting cast quoting Shakespeare passages in auditioning for the school play. Sally Avril turns hers into a cheer - needless to say, she doesn't get a part.
