If there comes a time in a work when the author wants to convey that the community has come together to celebrate an achievement or themselves as a society; or maybe you want to let the audience know the entire crowd backs up a competitor. That is when you'll see the crowd all chant the same word or phrase together over and over again.

Often, but not necessarily, it will consist of [[RuleOfThree three syllables or portions of the word separated to the rhythm of two quarter notes and then a half note (or two quick beats and a slow beat)]]. Note, however, that this trope refers to the crowd chanting together, and the number of beats or syllables does not matter.

Often TruthInTelevision in any situation that creates a feeling of togetherness, e.g. sports matches and demonstrations.

Tends to create a similar sound to any phrase that has been PunctuatedForEmphasis,and is a cousin to [[DramaticGasp the collective gasp.]] Similar to the SlowClap. Related to CrowdSong and AudienceParticipationSong. A PomPomGirl may be employed to help start these up.

!!Examples:
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Asian Animation]]
* At the beginning of Season 7 episode 21 of ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', Miss Peach introduces someone named Mr. Success for a TV show. Mr. Success, upon entering the stage, is met with a chant "Succ-ess! Succ-ess!" from the crowd.
* ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'':
** In "Jalebi's Birthday", after Samosa gives Jalebi the microphone to his jukebox so that she can say something to everyone attending her birthday party, the crowd of attendees cheers her on, chanting "Ja-le-bi! Ja-le-bi!"
** In "Pimple Samosa", the audience at the TV studio chant "Sa-mo-sa! Sa-mo-sa!" after Samosa stands up for his talking pimple, Peter, and decides not to use the pimple cream the studio is testing out, also inadvertently revealing the talk show's host is [[DodgyToupee wearing a wig]] in the process.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Fiction]]
* Being a pro wrestling story, ''A Ring of Their Own'' has several.
** When Wrestling/MollyHolly squashed Lacey Von Erich in 7 seconds (a new record in-story for shortest match), the audience chanted "Seven Seconds!" at Lacey, prompting her to break down crying.
** When Wrestling/JimCornette told the audience that he turned down 83-year-old Mae Young's request to join the FWF, part of the crowd chanted "We Want Mae!"
** When Wrestling/{{Ivory}} returned to the broadcast booth after being out following being injured in a match against Wrestling/MichelleMcCool, the audience stood, applauded and chanted, "You're Still Here!"
** At the end of the story when [[Wrestling/LisaMarieVaron Victoria]] announced her retirement, the crowd chanted "Please Don't Go!", much like they did in real life when Victoria left WWE.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Film]]
* ''Film/{{Hook}}'':
** The Lost Boys chanted together "Ru-Fi-O" during a fight between Rufio and Peter Pan to show their support for fellow Lost Boy Rufio. This then gets reversed on Rufio when Peter is able to win over the Lost Boys and they start chanting his name instead. Rufio attempts to counter with his own name but gets drowned out.
** For the [[AntagonistTitle titular]] [[TitleDrop villain]], chanted by his entire crew: "HOOK! HOOK! Show us the Hook! HOOK! HOOK! Give us the Hook!"
** Hook tries to set up a chant for Jack during his compensatory UsefulNotes/{{baseball}} game. Hook's pirates mix things up and start chanting "RUN HOME, JACK!" This proved costly for Hook, as it stirs Jack's thoughts of home and his sister. Smee has the pirates switch places, and the pirates start chanting "HOME RUN, JACK!" There are also a couple of chants of "Two, four, six, eight! Who do we appreciate?", both after that game and after the game Jack's team loses at the beginning of the film.
* The ''Film/GreenLantern2011'' movie: "We! Are! The corps!"
* Immortalized in ''Film/TheMightyDucks'' with the chant of "Quack! Quack! Quack!"
* In ''Film/TheBigGreen'', Jay Huffer, the divorced coach of the Knights,takes advantage of being in the championship game by getting big green coach Anna Montgomery to agree to kiss him if the Knights win as part of a water. However, the Knights lose, and Jay has to hold up his end of the deal and kiss The Big Green's mascot: a goat. Led by the boys, The Big Green players chant "KISS THE GOAT!" until Jay and Ernie's lips meet.
* Parodied in ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'', where the audience act like they're in a modern sports event.
-->All right, guys, let's give him the chop! Ooooh~ oooh oohhhhhhh~ Oh, oh, oohhhhh~
%%* Film/{{Rudy}}
* In ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', the prisoners in the pit chant "Deshi deshi! Basara basara!" when one of them attempts the climb to the top to get free. It's reprised several times in the film's soundtrack to great effect.
* Who could forget [[{{Film/Rocky}} "ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY!!!!"]]
* In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', the Wakandan army (led by T'Challa) chants "Yibambe"[[note]]Xhosa, translates to "Hold fast" or "HoldTheLine"[[/note]] before battling Thanos's forces. [[spoiler:They do it again in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', when a Sling Ring portal opens up to Wakanda, allowing them to battle 2012!Thanos' forces as well.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', the audience at the 4*Town concert chants the band's name.
* ''Film/TheNakedGun:'' After Drebin saves the Queen of England's life at the baseball game, a random fan recognizes him from his previous "undercover" appearance on the field, leading to the crowd chanting "En-rico Pal-lazo!"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* In ''Literature/AnimalFarm'': "Four legs good, two legs baaaaaad!"
* ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals'': "LIKELY! LIKELY! LIKELY!"
* Creator/DaveBarry had a column here he talked about a researcher who noticed that where getting a relatively small group of people to sing in tune and in rhythm is usually difficult, vast crowds at sporting events all chant the same notes in harmony.
* In ''Literature/HoverCarRacer'', the audience chants "We love the Bug!" after [[spoiler:Jason passes out during a 9G turn, and the Bug leans forward to pilot the car to the Finish Line]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Creator/StephenColbert often leads his audience in chants of "U.S.A!" or "I was right!" in this rhythm. and of course the show usually starts with enthusiastic chants of "Ste-phen!"
* ''[[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer]]'' always opens with the audience chanting "Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry!" [[note]] except for the times Steve Wilkos stepped in to host for Jerry and the crowd chanted for him [[/note]]
** The audience of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' shouted "Jer-ry" when he appeared on the show. They'll often take the role of the cheering audience when the cast gives them cues.
* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': Barney proves to Robin that the United States is better than Canada by starting a "USA" chant in the bar. Robin tries to do it with Canada and gets blank stares.
** Course, in fairness, [[BoringButPractical U-S-A! is also easier to chant this way]].
* ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'': So Say We All!
* ''Series/DoctorWho'' has the ''entire world'' all chanting "[[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve Doctor]]" at once.
* In the audition rounds of ''Series/AmericasGotTalent'', the crowd will tell the judges to send fantastic acts to the Las Vegas rounds by chanting "Ve-gas! Ve-gas!" Horrible acts, on the other hand, just get booed.
* ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' features the crowd chanting along with the transformation sound of Gigant Bragi-Oh ("GII-GAN-TO GIGANTO!"), which helps break the curse that had weakened the Kyoryugers' powers, and later doing the same for the first appearance of Gigant Kyoryuzin.
* After ''Series/{{The 100}}'' first land on Earth, they chant "Whatever the hell we want!" to celebrate their new found freedom from the oppressive [[TheArk Ark]].
** When Murphy gets lynched, the 100 want Bellamy to be the one to finish him off, chanting, "Bellamy! Bellamy!"
** Prior to the assault on Mount Weather, the entire Grounder/Sky People army chants "Jus Drein Jus Daun!" (In the Grounder's language, it means "Blood Must Have Blood".)
* ''{{MASH}}'' has this in the episode "Adam's Ribs". After yet another day of getting liver and fish for lunch, Hawkeye loses it, stands up, and begins ranting about how he's tired of eating it before starting to bang a tray on a pillar and scream "WE WANT SOMETHING ELSE!" He's joined by the entire rest of the mess tent -- including the food servers.
* ''Series/ModernFamily''. Subverted. Alex and her college buddies cheer on their friend by shouting "Chug! Chug! Chug!". He's not drinking beer; he's solving a hellishly complex math problem. His ''name'' is "Chug".
* ''Series/TedLasso'': The Richmond home crowd will often chant in support of a player whenever they do something impressive.
** For Jamie, they go "[[Creator/PinkFong Ja-mie Tartt doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo...]]"
** For Roy, they go "He's here, he's there, he's every-fucking-where! Roy Kent! Roy Kent!"
** The eleventh episode of the second season opens with the crowd chanting Sam's name to the tune of "[[Music/TheWhiteStripes Seven Nation Army]]" at the end of [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome a match in which he has scored three goals]].
* On ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'', the WHS Yellowjackets girls' soccer team has "Buzz, buzz, buzz!" in imitation of the buzzing of actual yellowjackets.
* ''Series/BigMouth2022'': Every prisoner at Gucheon Penitentiary chants "Big" (short for "Big Mouse") in support of Changho when he has to prove to Jihoon that he's the real "Big Mouse." It's so epic that this is the first and only time the show plays a song in a scene.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]
* In KoreanPopMusic it is common and expected for each group, band, or solo artist to have predetermined [[CallAndResponseSong fanchants]] that fans call out in time with the songs. They include listing the artists' names or else specific echoes and responses to certain lines in a song. It's not uncommon for fans or the artists themselves to make [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mwX3Pt6Src instructional videos]] so that people have them memorized for concerts.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* As to be expected, this has always been an integral part of pro wrestling. It wouldn't be surprising if something along the lines of "Go Johnny Go" was omnipresent during the very first match.
* [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] was a master of crowd participation in his promos, the fans hanging on to every one of his catchphrases when he talked.
** The most common were his opener: "Finally, The Rock HAS COME BACK to (town/city the show is in)!" and his closer: "IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK! IS! COOKING!"
** Also, every time The Rock would mention the millions ("AND MILLIONS!") of Rock's fans, all chanting his name! "ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!"
* Back in the 80s, fans used to chant "Faggot" at Wrestling/JimCornette, manager and presumed butt buddy of Wrestling/TheMidnightExpress. This stopped in the 90s when fans began to associate Cornette more with Dairy Queen, though Cornette's {{spiritual successor}}, Fabulous Frank, continued to get chants of "Frank Is Gay" at Future Of Wrestling events.
** Wrestling/BrianPillman got a "Faggot" chant going at the 1991 ''Great American Bash'' show on [[Wrestling/MarcMero Johnny B. Badd]], encouraged by Pillman yelling "Johnny don't B. Badd, Johnny be '''''GAY'''''!" into the camera just as the match was about to start.[[note]]Mero and Pillman would later be notable for being the first two guys that Wrestling/VinceMcMahon signed to a guaranteed contract[[/note]]
* When an AllAmericanFace is losing, especially against a ForeignWrestlingHeel, count on the crowd to start chanting "U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!"
* In addition to {{crowd song}} like "Wrestling/{{Taz|z}} is gonna kill you!", Wrestling/{{ECW}} popularized several other once signature chants at other shows:
** Chanting the name of the promotion: "E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB!"
** Upon a particularly awesome moment: "HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT!" This one has even shown up among audiences of promotions or live events where virtually no English is spoken otherwise.
** When cheering a particularly badass wrestler: "He's/she's hardcore!"
** "She's Got Herpes!" or "She's A Crack Whore", usually chanted at Wrestling/{{Francine}}.
** "Show Your Tits!" started after a power outage when Wrestling/PaulHeyman sent Wrestling/KimonaWanalaya out to distract the audience with a strip tease. She refused because there were (inexplicably) children in the audience, and ended up taking a leave of absence due to the booing she got for not complying.
** When jeering a Wrestling/{{WWE}}-style power wrestler without much talent: "YOU CAN'T WRESTLE!" If said wrestler does have some talent and tries to prove them wrong: "SAME OLD SHIT!" and if they do something different in response to this: [[UnpleasableFanbase "YOU STILL SUCK!"]]
** "Die, ___, Die!", if someone has done [[MoralEventHorizon something truly heinous]]...[[XPacHeat or is just that intolerable.]]
** When jeering a bad match in general: "BO-RING! BO-RING!"
** [[SmartMark Smarks]] who adore pointing out mistakes are prone to telling wrestlers "YOU FUCKED UP! YOU FUCKED UP!" Like the "HOLY SHIT!" chant this one spread throughout wrestling and is occasionally even heard in Japanese promotions.
** "We want tables/fire! *clap, clap, clap clap clap* (repeat)", particularly if Wrestling/TheDudleyBoyz were around.
** Following the Falls Count Anywhere nature of ECW: "CAN'T SEE SHIT! CAN'T SEE SHIT!"
** When a match has elevated to a certain level of awesomeness, expect fans to serenade the current in-ring competitors with a well-deserved "THIS IS AWESOME!" chant. Wrestling/JimRoss in fact brought this one up when describing "an ECW crowd" but the chant has since become more associated with WWE fans, who have picked this one up more than the others.
* Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} fans, being from the same mold as ECW fans, [[{{Bowdlerization}} bowdlerize]] many of the above chants. ("HOLY POOP!" "YOU SCREWED UP!")
* [[Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} Goooooooold-Berrrrrg! Goooooooold-Berrrrrg!]], which Wrestling/{{WCW}} actually [[{{Astroturf}} piped in]]. Though Wrestling/{{D|iamondDallasPage}}DP denies it, arguing WCW didn't have the know-how to pipe anything in. The fans got into doing it on their own regardless.
* In an ironic case, Championship Wrestling From Florida had made a declaration "This Is Wrestling" back in the 1980s when the WWF coined the phrase "Sports Entertainment". After its folding, CWF, which was also interchangeably called FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling), would see a couple attempted revivals, one of the most prominent being by WWE, who by then was "just WWE INC" instead of "World Wrestling Entertainment" making the declaration, which by now had become a crowd chant in Ring Of Honor, all the more appropriate. And when Wrestling/LowKi and Wrestling/BryanDanielson showed up in WWE's FCW and wrestled what critics would call a "clinic", guess what was chanted?
* In Mexican and Puerto Rican promotions, such as Wrestling/{{CMLL}} and The World Wrestling League, the chant is instead "Esto es lucha!"
* Fans at Wrestling/{{Toryumon}} events started chanting "H-A-G-E" at Genki Horiguchi when his hairline started receding. It became so integral to him that promoting his HAGE, or bald head, became one of the top priorities when Wrestling/DragonGate was considering coming to the US.
* If you ever hear an "ASSHOLE!" chant for no apparent reason it's likely because arena security is taking someone's sign or something similar.
* Wrestling/{{WWE}} has popularized a few:
** The dueling chants of "LET'S GO, [WRESTLER]!"/"[WRESTLER] SUCKS!". Most commonly directed at Wrestling/JohnCena, who has turned it into an AscendedMeme, though it has happened to other wrestlers such as Wrestling/WilliamRegal.
--->''I want all the ladies and kids to chant "Let's go, Cena!", and all the dudes over 20 to chant "Cena sucks!"''
** When someone comes back from a long hiatus to wrestle, there are usually chants of "[[StillGotIt YOU STILL GOT IT]]" once they bust out a few maneuvers.
** During Vince [=McMahon=]'s Boss character during the Wrestling/AttitudeEra, fans were chanting "ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE!" every time he spoke.
** Starting in early 2002, whenever Wrestling/KurtAngle came out to the ring, the fans would chant "You Suck!" at him at very specific points in his entrance music. This didn't change during any of his face runs, and it lasted until the end of his WWE career in 2006. Needless to say, his return to WWE in 2017, 11 years later, brought the chant right back, not like he's complaining.
** At any time a recent face-turned-heel character is dominating in the ring, fans will chant "[[SellOut YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT]]!"
** When Wrestling/BrockLesnar tapped out to Wrestling/KurtAngle at ''Wrestling/SummerSlam'' 2003, fans chanted "YOU TAPPED OUT! YOU TAPPED OUT!" This has become a staple to chant against heels who recently lost by submission.
** "Hijacking" is when fans will start chanting for random wrestlers when [[XPacHeat people they really just don't want to see]] are in the ring, or if they're just bored. Since this is more or less a form of protest against WWE itself fans will often chant for people on bad terms with the company, like Wrestling/CMPunk.
** On occasion, if fans ''really'' hate what's going in the ring, they'll angrily chant for a rival promotion.
*** WWE made the terrible decision to hold ''Wrestling/KingOfTheRing'' 1995 in UsefulNotes/{{Philadelphia}} at a time when Wrestling/{{ECW}} was on fire. The terrible Mabel vs. Savio Vega tournament final[[note]]To give you an idea of how incomprehensible a final that was, this same tournament featured 2x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Champion]] and, at the time, 1/2 of the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-world-t.html WWE World Tag Team Champions]] Wrestling/{{Yokozuna}} (who would have been a much better opponent for [[Wrestling/KevinNash Diesel]] if Vince was insisting on doing Tall Guy vs. Fat Guy at ''Wrestling/SummerSlam''), former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Wrestling/TheUndertaker and that year's ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble'' winner, former WWE World Tag Team Champion and 2x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/ic.html WWE World Tag Team Champion]] Wrestling/ShawnMichaels. Former Intercontinental champ Wrestling/BritishBulldog, the other half of the WWF tag team champions Wrestling/OwenHart, and former WCW World and U.S. champion Wrestling/LexLuger were all left off the card entirely for some baffling reason. Probably worth noting that Savio was only in the tournament as a last minute substitute (literally, he defeated [[Wrestling/MikeRotunda IRS]] in a qualifying match on the preshow) for the injured [[Wrestling/ScottHall Razor Ramon]], who joined fellow [[Wrestling/TheKliq Clique]] buddy [[Wrestling/SeanWaltman 1-2-3 Kid]] on the disabled list[[/note]] bombed so completely that the Philly crowd started chanting "ECW! ECW! ECW!" in protest. Mabel earned the right to face Diesel at ''Wrestling/SummerSlam'', which was about as good as you'd expect a match between Wrestling/KevinNash and a 500 lb guy that couldn't really work to be[[note]]And nearly severely injured Nash after dropping his massive ass full force onto Nash's back, something Nash had '''explicitly told Mabel not to do before the match'''. Nash briefly lost feeling in his legs but was able to continue and Mabel just barely managed to not get himself canned[[/note]].
*** One time, to protest a truly awful match[[note]]Specifically during a match between a Rosie O'Donnell impersonator and a Donald Trump impersonated by developmental wrestler Chris "Ace Steel" Guy.[[/note]], fans started chanting [[Wrestling/{{TNA}} "T-N-A!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDDBG374xZY T-N-A!"]], which seemed to shock [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]]. There have been bad matches before, and there will be again, but nothing has ever been bad enough to get a WWE crowd to chant for TNA.
*** On the April 8, 2019 edition of ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]'', the crowd was treated to a bait-and-switch when a run-in by Wrestling/TheBar cut short a heavily-hyped match between Wrestling/KofiKingston and Wrestling/SethRollins in which Kingston's WWE Championship (''Raw'') and Rollins' Universal Championship (''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'') were on the line. Rollins then said that he and Kingston could fight another time, as he wanted Kingston to team with him to take on The Bar. The fans responded by chanting "[[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling A-E-W! A-E-W!]]"
*** The fans broke out the "A-E-W!" chants again that October at the Hell in a Cell event after Rollins was disqualified for using a sledgehammer in a Hell in a Cell match against Wrestling/BrayWyatt for Rollins' Universal Championship. Keep in mind that HIAC matches are notoriously brutal and are normally no-DQ.
** "{{Slut|Shaming}}!" when a female heel does something particularly slutty, such as Wrestling/TrishStratus cheating on Wrestling/ChrisJericho with Wrestling/{{Christian}}.
** Saying "What?" any time someone speaking takes a pause for dramatic effect, [[CharacterFilibuster to catch their breath]], or even because basic grammar demands it. Started by Stone Cold Steve Austin, frequently directed at Kurt Angle.
** To that same effect, the "YES! YES! YES!" chants popularized by [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] also means that something amazing is about to take place, has happened already, or the character(s) have accepted an offer in response to the storyline.
** Similar to the "YES!" chant, if the crowd wants to decline the offer, the crowd will respond with "NO!" Examples include a wrestler potentially turning heel or about to quit, and the crowd respond with a loud "NO!"
** "[move name] CITY!" whenever a wrestler uses a move repeatedly. Popularized by Wrestling/BrockLesnar when he called out "Suplex city, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]]" during his match against Wrestling/RomanReigns at Wrestlemania where he used a ton of suplexes against him to attempt to wear him down.
** "You deserve it!" after a crowd favorite has won a title (or appears to be about to), or when a heel or an [[XPacHeat extremely hated]] performer is humiliated.
* Wrestling/RingOfHonor is known for popularizing a few as well.
** "Please Don't Come Back!" typically directed at new comers who don't wrestle well but sometimes even at established talents the ROH bots are predisposed to dislike for various reasons. Of course, they are likely to chant "Please Come Back!" if someone impresses.
** "Please Don't Die!" in witness of excessive violence or high spots, most famously chanted at [[Wrestling/LondonAndKendrick Paul London]].
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcfhWuxF5R4 You're Gonna Get Your Fucking Head Kicked In!]]" to taunt Bryan Danielson's opponents.
** Also, "He Has Till Five!"
** "You Got Cock Blocked!" when unsuccessful relationship drama is made into wrestling story lines, started in response to an angle between Rhett Titus, Wrestling/DaizeeHaze and [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]].
** "Let's Go, {{Jobber}}!" first chanted for "Masked Chicago Superstar" at "The Final Showdown"(2005)
** "Cry, ___, Cry!", most famously at Wrestling/JimmyJacobs
** "We Love Wrestling" (self explanatory).
** "Film/BrokebackMountain", for particularly homoerotic events like two men kissing.
** "Man Up!", it started with The Briscoes and moved on from there.
** Hilariously, when ROH was purchased by Sinclair Broadcasting (meaning ROH would be syndicated on over-the-air TV) head TV producer Wrestling/JimCornette had to send ring announcer Bobby Cruise out before TV tapings to tell the crowd not to chant anything R-rated, as they were now under FCC jurisdiction and it's very difficult to bleep something like a few hundred people chanting "Fuck you [wrestler]!" in post-production without completely ruining the audio.
* A massive part of Wrestling/{{Progress Wrestling}} the most common one being "THIS IS PROGRESS" whenever something cool happens.
* If there's one chant that can be said to have originated from [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA / Impact Wrestling]], it's the deafening sounds of '''[[Wrestling/MattHardy "DELETE!" and "OBSOLETE!"]]'''
* At ''AIW Absolution V'', June 27, 2010, Wrestling/ChuckTaylor ''tried'' to start one before his match with [[Wrestling/SethRollins Tyler Black]]. It didn't take:
-->[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DqlyxjDKpY "LET'S GO CHUCK TAYLOR YOU'RE THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD YOU'RE IN WAY BETTER SHAPE THAN TYLER BLACK!"]]
* Taking some inspiration from ECW, [[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling AEW]] crowds will often chant "A-E-DUB! A-E-DUB!"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sports]]
* Sports crowds, in general. Some popular ones:
** MVP! MVP! MVP!
** THESE REFS SUCK! THESE REFS SUCK! THESE REFS SUCK! or REFS, YOU SUCK!
** LET'S GO, (TEAM!) LET'S GO, (TEAM!) LET'S GO, (TEAM!) or GO, (TEAM!), GO!
*** Typically met with the other fans' counter-chant of "(TEAM) SUCKS!"
** DE-FENSE! DE-FENSE! DE-FENSE!
** "BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!", which is usually directed at a referee after making a controversial call, or "ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE!", typically directed at an obnoxious opposing fan.
*** Or their own fans if something truly devastating happens.
* New York Rangers fans used to chant "Potvin sucks!" to jeer Denis Potvin, who played for the Islanders.
** They still will, even in games not involving the Islanders and despite discouragement from team management - MSG no longer plays "Let's Go Band" because a bunch of fans will always follow it up with "Potvin sucks!" (It doesn't stop fans in the crowd from whistling the song once or twice a game, prompting others to shout "Potvin sucks!" anyway).
* Boston Red Sox fans love to chant "YANKEES SUCK!" so much that sometimes they'll do it even if the Sox are playing someone else.
** Sometimes the chant will break out during Boston ''Bruins'' games. People from Boston '''really''' [[ArchEnemy hate the NY Yankees]].
** The Red Sox also play Music/NeilDiamond's "Sweet Caroline" during the middle of the 8th inning with the ''entire crowd'' singing along. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTXD4kpbATI Everyone in Boston knows the words to the song]]. The funny part? Neil Diamond was born and raised in New York City.
* The official unofficial crowd chant of the United States of America in any sporting event whatsoever is "U-S-A! U-S-A!" which got its start during the 1980 Olympics (and the Miracle on Ice in particular) and has since spread so that it can possibly come up during any international competition, but still is most often heard during the Olympics.
** The original USA Dream Team made up of professional basketballers were showered with this during their dominance at 1992 Barcelona games.
** A typical crowd chant in ProfessionalWrestling with an AllAmericanFace.
** Showed up...everywhere really, at the news of UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden's death.
** When the second suspect in the Boston Marathon Bombing was arrested, it happened again.
** It happened yet again when Team Liquid (The United States) beat LGD (China) at The International, the world championships of VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}.
** During the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, local crowds took every chance to chant "CHI-NA! CHI-NA!" in English.
* Many college teams, especially those with long histories of success, develop their own chants as a way of cultivating school spirit.
** In the case of the Florida State University Seminoles, their Tomahawk chop and war cry chant got passed on to the pros via the Atlanta Braves. It's a somewhat stereotypical portrayal of Native American tribes, though at least in FSU's case they have been supported by the Seminole Tribes of Florida (the much larger tribes in Oklahoma are more ambivalent, but for the time being they're not actively opposed).
** In 1998, a student at the Naval Academy Preparatory School, the official prep school for the US Naval Academy, created a chant for his platoon—[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_believe_that_we_will_win! "I believe that we will win!"]] The next year, said student was in the Academy proper, and taught it to a Navy cheerleader, who led the 4,000-strong Brigade of Midshipmen at the annual Army–Navy football game. It's been a standard rallying cry for Navy sports ever since, and thanks to the Army–Navy Game being nationally televised, it has since spread to several other colleges, and most notably got picked up by fans of the US men's national soccer team (see below).
* [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball Football]] crowds often do this, but their chants are less like chants and more like songs. For instance, Liverpool are famous for singing "[[Theatre/{{Carousel}} You'll Never Walk Alone]]", and West Ham United are known for singing "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles". International games feature national anthems sung by the masses.
** This being said, the United States mixes a little of both varieties in both [[UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueSoccer their domestic league]] and their international games, where they chant such things as the aforementioned "I believe that we will win!", and then sing "Oh When The [Team Nickname]s Go Marching In!"
** Fans of the Denmark men's national team have chants in their own language, but perhaps their most famous is in English—"We are red, we are white, we are Danish Dynamite!"
** English fans tend to disparage everyone other then their own team with unique chants, such as “You Scouse Ba***ds” for traveling Liverpool fans, and “What do you think of Tottenham?”, sung towards Spurs by Arsenal Supporters. This can and often does get out of control, with supporters using racial, homophobic, and transphobic stereotypes in the chants, as well as mentioning ugly events in opposing club’s histories, such as United fans singing about the Hillsborough Stadium Disaster in Liverpool. The prevalence of these has led to campaigns to stamp them out.
* Australian UsefulNotes/{{Cricket}} crowds chant "You're going home in the back of a divvy van" when someone gets themselves escorted out of the ground by police.
** Speaking of Australia in pretty much any international event where one or more Australians are competing the chant of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aussie_Aussie_Aussie,_Oi_Oi_Oi Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi]] will be heard, combining this trope with the CallAndResponseSong.
* If your college basketball team is being bombarded with "N-I-T!", it means you're probably going to be qualified for the infamous National Invitation Tournament, which consists of 32 teams who failed to reach the NCAA tournament. Being in this tournament (which used to be as prestigious as the NCAA tournament is today, but has since devolved into March Madness filler for Creator/{{ESPN}} thanks to NCAA ExecutiveMeddling) is a FateWorseThanDeath for a lot of teams, but some lower-profile teams don't view it as harshly.
** "Thursday Nights, Creator/Channel5!"[[note]]Used to insult teams demoted from the UsefulNotes/UEFAChampionsLeague the 2nd tier UEFA Europa League. In Britain, until 2012-13 (when Creator/{{ITV}}4 and BT Sport picked it up) they were broadcast by Channel Five. Unfortunately, "Thursday Nights, channel 24" doesn't have the same ring.[[/note]]
* During the final weeks of the NHL season, disgruntled Toronto Maple Leafs fans may chant "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Let's go]] [[UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueBaseball Blue Jays]]!" when the team is doing bad -- a practice originating from an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH8fi9zK7UA infamously lopsided game in 2012]]. Subverted at the start of the 2015 NHL season, when Maple Leafs fans used the chant to show support for the Blue Jays during that year's playoff run.
* Similar to "You'll Never Walk Alone", the NHL has at least two cases of fans taking a song as their own, the St. Louis Blues with [Music/JohnDenver "Take Me Home, Country Roads"]] (every third period since 2019 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2SMSBzMaws has a sing-along]]) and the Colorado Avalanche with [[Music/Blink182 "All the Small Things"]] ([[https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1497429125363032067 continuing]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2fc7o7IAo4 even when the DJ turns off the song]]).
* Hungarian fans of just about any sport will chant "RIA! RIA! HUNGARIA!" on international sporting events. Another popular one is "HAJRÁ MAGYARORSZÁG, HAJRÁ MAGYAROK!" ("Go Hungary, go Hungarians!")
** The arguably most popular Hungarian soccer team, Fradi/FTC has a number of idiosyncratic chants used by their fans, such as "MINDENT BELE! MINDENT BELE!" (roughly "Use everything you have!" or "Play with all you've got!") and "HAJRÁ FRADI!" ("Go Fradi!"). There's also the infamous "LILA MAJMOK! LILA MAJMOK!" ("Purple Monkeys! Purple Monkeys!"), meant to jeer on their longtime rival team, Újpest FC, who play in purple colors.
** If the referee punishes their team, Hungarian fans often chant "SZEMÜVEGET A BÍRÓNAK!" ("Give glasses to the referee!").
* Chants heard at a world gymnastics competition: from Swiss fans, the macaronic "Go, Suisse!" (accompanied by cowbells); from Israeli fans, "Hey, hey, Yisrael!"

In the single player modes of earlier installments, the player can earn a bonus for triggering these. Some even act as {{Shout Out}}s relating to the character in question:
** Franchise/DonkeyKong's cheer is "DK! Donkey Kong!", a reference to the chorus of the DK Rap from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64''.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'', the music for Gym Leader battles begins to include chanting as soon as they're down to their last Pokémon; as gym battles in the Galar Region are a major spectator sport, the implication is that the crowds watching your battle are ''really'' getting into it.

* During UsefulNotes/BarackObama's U.S. presidential campaign, his supporters would often chant, "Yes We Can!"[[note]]Detractors who think centrist Obama was some kind of ultra-left-wing menace would do well to remember that "yes we can" came from conservative Republican UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan.[[/note]] Obama himself led chants of "[[https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/animated-film-obama-fired-up_us_5880ebd4e4b0e3a73567767e Fired up!
