Shoop Da Whoop

Shoop Da Whoop is a popular internet meme.

It is based out of a picture of Dragonball Z character Cell which had been edited with Microsoft Paint to look like blackface. The picture was edited further to a short gif file which shouted "I'MA FIRIN' MAH LAZER!" and fired a large blue laser while exclaiming "BLAH!". The meme has become incredibly popular on sites such as YouTube and has been used as the basis of many videos on that site. However, this is usually only shortened to the blue laser/BLAH part.

Origin

Shoop Da Whoop also appears in hacked flash files on 4chan, where the sound is turned down invoking the user to turn the volume up. Those unaware of the hack then are surprised by the "Shooped" flash file reveals itself with DMX's "Where the Hood At?"

There have been several parodies of Shoop Da Whoop. Where Shoop Da Whoop uses blackface in an attempt to stereotype black people, a popular parody uses 's "White & Nerdy" to whiteface.

The Lazer Collection
Another popular parody was created by Dom Fera in 2007 known as "The Lazer Collection" , which moved away from blackfacing to shouting "BLAH!" while the laser shout out of an objects mouth. "The Lazer Collection" created a new internet meme based on "Shoop Da Whoop": Doctor Octagonapus, a parody of Alfred Molina's portrayl of Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2.
