When a character expresses a moment of joy in the most deadpan manner possible. Often by saying the word "yay" or "woo hoo" in a flat monotone or other tone of voice that does not exhibit joy.
Line 7:
Compare with [[And There Was Much Rejoicing]]. See also [[Flat What]] and [[Sarcasm Mode]]. Not to be confused with [[Petite Pride]].

'''Shego:''' [deadpan] Woo hoo. Extra hoo. Happy? }}
* [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom]]": Fluttershy is sincere when she practices cheering for Rainbow Dash, but it comes out as this because she's so meek and soft-spoken, {{spoiler|at least until the end, Rainbow Dash pulls off the title move and saves Rarity and the Wonderbolts' lives, causing Fluttershy to start break into cheering so ecstatic her voice cracks}}. Yay.
** Played straight in the episode "Look Before You Sleep". Rarity and Applejack, both of whom are not in good terms with one another at the time, express this when Twilight Sparkle announces their slumber party.
* Lor in ''[[The Weekenders]]'' is a [[Bad Bad Acting|bad actor]], so when she's given the line "After all these years I finally feel truly alive," this is how it turns out.
