Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (D) reenacted the infamous “Dean scream” that earned him years of mockery after dropping his 2004 presidential bid Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention.

After praising Hillary Clinton for her strides in championing healthcare, Dean began wrapping up speech by listing off states he said Clinton would win. He listed the same states, with similar intensity, as he did during that notorious moment at the 2004 Iowa caucuses.

Unfortunately, he omitted the “Yeah!” from the end of his original “scream.”
