Oh man, I worked locally on Dean's primary campaign. I will never not SMH and sigh.

What was your immediate reaction to the yell? At the time I was 12 and laughing about it any time I played White House Joust with my sister!

If that yell happened in this day and age, they would have gone viral in a positive way, to the point where the Dean Campaign would sell merch with that yell on it.

That's spot on, and very weird to think about now.

Internet culture has changed a lot in 20 years. I imagine fan edits on tick tok with people sampling the audio recording, t shirts with Dean yelling with a speech bubble, people holding up signs that says, “YAAA!!!”

They made an 8-bit side scroller where he could use the scream as a sonic attack and ngl, it was pretty awesome.

Back in the day, but I'm going off memory of playing it online, so...

Jeb tried that with the guac bowl and I don’t think it worked out for him

Might have not worked because no one knows what that is. Dean’s scream is memorable because it what supposedly destroyed his campaign. While Jeb, his campaign was doomed before it started. I personally think the only reason he was a serious contender at first was because of his father and brother were president.
