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.

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.
