Mr Whoopee: Difference between revisions

The '''Mr Whoopee''' is an ice-cream van available in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. The [[Mr. Tasty]] takes its place in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. The Mr. Whoopee is a parody of [[wp:Mister Softee|Mister Softee]]. In every Grand Theft Auto game it looks slightly different, if it is from different headlights or a different body.

The Mr Whoopee is evidently designed as a vehicle based on a van or box truck. In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Mr. Whoopee has a unique, modern design (the headlights and grille resemble those of a [[wp:Ford Transit|1986 Ford Transit]]); however, in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a [[Boxville]] step van (similar in design but considerably smaller).

In most of its appearances, the decorations on top of the van serve as sexual references. In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a large pair of breasts, whereas in GTA San Andreas, it resembles the male genitalia. The GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions are exceptions, with only a single ice cream swirl and a chocolate bar.

One of the vehicle's special attributes is a musical jingle that can be toggled on or off with the horn button. The melody in GTA III and GTA Vice City is the same as that used by the [[Ice-Cream Van]] in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], but in GTA San Andreas, it is different. The melody is also same for the truck in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories.
