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 Comedy Trope 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. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Compare Cherry Tapping which is a minor attack downing someone rather than a minor spook and The Last Straw.

In Monsters University, a flat "boo" eliciting a scream from the simulator is what tips Mike off that there's something wrong with it. When the dummy gives a similar reaction to Mike snapping his fingers, he realizes that it was set to it's highest timid setting. | |

In A Nightmare on Elm Street (the remake), Nancy attempts to hide from Freddy while in the dream world. She hides in a closet, and for a moment it seems like it works, as Freddy scouts the room and leaves... only to appear in the closet beside Nancy and growl "Boo" in her ear. She naturally screams and runs out. | |

Mickey Mouse (2013): In the cartoon "Potatoland", Goofy hears that potatoes arrive for the midnight spree during one of the rides. Thinking that he will be haunted for wearing overalls, Goofy is relieved that he isn't wearing them, meaning his fear is gone. That is, until Donald Duck approaches him in a ghost costume, saying "boo." Goofy freaks out, causing him to hit Donald with a plank multiple times, and makes his escape afterwards. | |

The first issue of the '80s-era Justice League features a terrorist attack on the U.N. General Assembly. As the spearhead of the Justice League's counterattack, Batman appears suddenly on the podium in front of the lead terrorist, whispering "Boo." Cue both terrorist freak-out and the rest of the League's Dynamic Entry. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In Doctor Strange, Christine gets a face full of the supernatural as she attempts to keep Strange alive while he battles a villain in the Astral Plane. After ghosts, poltergeist-like disruptions, and a magical portal in front of her very eyes, she's scared witless by a broom falling to the floor. Avengers: Endgame: After Tony Stark and Professor Hulk supervise the machinery assembling a new Infinity Gauntlet, and being understandably tense about it considering the power of the Infinity Stones they're manipulating, Rocket finds it funny to suddenly yell "BOOM!", making the two of them jump. |

This is exhibited in the first act of the Mr. Bogus episode "Bookstore Bogus", with a pair of ferocious worms that Bogus encounters in a book about bugs. When Bogus claims that he's not afraid of them, the worms look at each other for a few seconds before saying "boo" to Bogus in this manner, causing him to run in a panic with the worms hot on his tail. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: On one episode, SpongeBob and Patrick claim that they weren't frightened by a scary movie. A flat "boo" from Squidward proves otherwise. In "Pranks a Lot", SpongeBob and Patrick accidentally turn themselves invisible and decide to have some fun by terrorizing all of Bikini Bottom as "ghosts." Mr. Krabs is the lone holdout who boasts of his fearlessness and kits himself up with various charms and an impromptu suit of armor to keep them at bay. Unsurprisingly, Patrick and SpongeBob make short work of these defenses, and once they disable his specter deflector (a paddleball), all it takes is a single "boo" to send him running for the door in a panic. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "28 Pranks Later", Rainbow Dash uses a simple "boo!" twice: First on Fluttershy in the opening, after having already scared her good with a dragon disguise. She's so jumpy already that she springs away and clings to a branch like a tree sloth. Then on Pinkie Pie, while upside-down inside her closet. Pinkie finds it hilarious. "Dungeons & Discord": In the RPG world, as "Garbunkle" and "Sir McBiggen" are fleeing from the Squizard inside a cave, Discord suddenly shows up upside-down and says "Boo!" Spike and Big Mac scream. |

After making them review many of his exploits throughout the years, the Doctor steps through the hologram and introduces himself.

Monty Python's Flying Circus: A quick sketch featured a guy who from the 3/4 rear is opening his raincoat and appears to be flashing at passing ladies who are shocked and run off. He then turns to the camera and opens his raincoat to show he's fully clothed with a sign around his neck that says "Boo!" | |

In Halo 2, the Master Chief does this after the Gravemind teleports him into High Charity and he finds himself standing right next to a very startled Grunt. The Grunt reacts by screaming in terror, throwing his gun in the air, and running away. The MC then calmly catches the gun and begins fighting his way through the Covenant capitol. | |

Used by the Lunar Ghost in the first Scooby-Doo live-action movie. Naturally, Scooby screams. | |

Tex Avery MGM Cartoons: In the Tex Avery cartoon "Slap-Happy Lion", a mouse scares a lion with a flat "boo". Doing it repeatedly drives the lion mad. Droopy, given his knack for Offscreen Teleportation, has done this a few times. |

RWBY Chibi: When Jaune is making an ASMR video, he doesn't notice Nora creep up behind him. She takes a deep breath as if she's about to yell in his ear, but instead very softly says "Hi". Jaune freaks out and jumps like a cat in response. | |

Variant in 2 Stupid Dogs. The big dog will scare cats by going to up to them and giving a deadpan "Woof." The cat will then comically seize up in fear. | |

Played with in Ghost (1990), where the title character freaks someone out by writing "BOO" on his mirror. Considering that Sam is, well, a ghost, and the person he's freaking out is watching the word trace itself into a fogged mirror, it's not really a "minor" scare at all. | |

The main character in Eden Green concentrates so hard on aiming her gun into the shadows, she doesn't notice the playful psychopath Tedrin sneaking up on her until he whispers, "Having fun yet?" This gets him shot. | |
