Sometimes people are so tense it doesn't take much to scare them. Cue either a smarty alec team-mate or a foe with the taste for irony simply stating "Boo". This results in the jittery character either freaking out or begin running in a panic while screaming. Usually a ComedyTrope but appears in genuinely scary works to show how threatening the monster/villain's presence is -- especially if the monster/villain ''actually'' shows up soon afterward.

Compare CherryTapping which is a minor attack downing someone rather than a minor spook and TheLastStraw.
