Mr. Whoopee, as depicted in Grand Theft Auto III.

The Mr. Whoopee is an ice-cream van found in all of the GTA III Era games, starting with Grand Theft Auto III. It is usually found driving around the suburban areas of each city.

Overview

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 it was changed in GTA: San Andreas. In GTA III, it is a unique design, however in GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas it resembles a Boxville (It has a similar design but is considerably smaller). The Boxville style van is top heavy and is prone to rolling if not driven carefully.

Locations

GTA III

On rare occasions, it is spotted driving around Chinatown, Portland View, Rockford and Cedar Grove. It is not parked anywhere in the game.
During the mission I Scream, You Scream.
During Vigilante and Firefighter missions.
At the Import/Export garage, Portland Harbor. You must turn in all vehicles on the list first.

GTA: Vice City

Cherry Poppers Ice Cream Factory, Little Havana. You must buy the factory to access the van. Starts Distribution mission.

GTA: San Andreas

Can be found in urban areas such as Los Santos in sunny weather. The beach party cheat makes it very common.

Trivia

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City the Mr. Whoopee has a mission called Distribution associated with it, in which the player uses a Mr. Whoopee truck as a front to sell an unspecified controlled substance (probably cocaine) to passing pedestrians. Four or more sales in a short time will earn the player a wanted star.

The decorations on top of the van serve as yet another sexual reference. In GTA: Vice City, it resembles a large pair of breasts, whereas in GTA: San Andreas, it resembles the male genital region.

 ==Overview==
-The Mr. Whoopee is a van on all of the [[GTA III Era]] games so far. It is an ice cream truck, that usually drives around the suburb areas of the cities. A special attribute for the truck is that when the horn button is pressed this toggles a melody like in real ice cream trucks. The melody from [[GTA III]] and [[GTA: Vice City]] is the same as the [[Ice Cream Van]] from [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], but it was changed in [[GTA: San Andreas]]. In [[GTA III]], the van is similar to a [[Moonbeam]], however in ''GTA: Vice City'' and ''GTA: San Andreas'' it is a modified [[Boxville]]. The Boxville style van is top heavy and is very easy to roll if not driven carefully. It would be a waste if good wholesome ‘ice cream’ if it crashed!
