Mortimer Mouse's "Ha Cha Cha"

2020viral videoresurgent

Published October 20, 2026

Mortimer Mouse's "Ha Cha Cha," also called Mortimer Mouse Shooting Shrink Ray Glove, is a video editing meme sourced from a 2013 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode in which the villain Megamort fires a shrink ray while shouting the nonsense catchphrase. Starting with an April 2020 YouTube edit by Andyrew 72, creators spliced the clip into reaction videos where the glove zaps characters into oblivion, and the format saw a resurgence on X in February 2024 after a cutoff version misheard as "Penis" went viral.

Overview

A typical "Ha Cha Cha" edit opens with the Megamort clip, which shows Mortimer Mouse extending his gloved hand and reciting the phrase before firing a shrink ray at Pete3. Editors cut away from the Disney footage at the moment of the zap and paste in different victims, usually cartoon characters, livestreamers, or crowds of children, who then get vaporized, flattened, or shrunk by whatever effect the editor chooses1.

Tone sits between gag YouTube Poops and shitpost reaction videos, with the humor hinging on the absurdity of Mortimer's cheerful delivery colliding with the violent payoff. A separate variant popularized on X trims the audio so Mortimer appears to say "Penis" instead of the full line "Pete is big, and now he is small"2. That mondegreen gave the format a second life as a reply-guy tool, with users posting the clip under threads where the content invited a juvenile punchline4.

The source footage comes from "Super Adventure," an episode of the Disney Junior series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that first aired on October 18th, 20135. In the episode, the Clubhouse crew faces off against Mortimer Mouse's alter ego Megamort, who wields a shrink ray glove and narrates his attacks with the signature "Ha Cha Cha" line3.

The earliest known meme edit using the clip was uploaded to YouTube on April 4th, 2020 by Andyrew 72, who built a looping video around the shrink ray gag that gathered over 240,000 views6. On December 10th, 2020, YouTuber BlakexKurek posted a shorter version that cuts Mortimer off mid-sentence after "Pete is," producing the audio mondegreen that later fueled the X revival1.

How It Spread

After Andyrew 72's April 2020 upload, the clip circulated as a YouTube video editing template through late 20206. BlakexKurek's December 10th, 2020 post, which trimmed the audio to the "Pete is" cutoff, gathered over 330,000 likes and became the version most frequently reused on short-form platforms1.

Usage faded through 2021 and 2022 before a revival on X in early 2024. On February 3rd, 2024, user @CheeseReal1 replied to a post about "Kindergarten twitter" with the clip, drawing over 7,000 likes within a week2. One day later, @selectwario posted an edited version in which Megamort appears to blow up a group of cartoon children, drawing more than 12,000 likes4.

The February 2024 wave spread quickly through X mutuals. User @TheNCSmaster posted a "Ha Cha Cha" edit on February 8th that drew over 7,000 likes, and similar posts by @trevorthesheep landed around the same window7. Know Your Meme logged the resurgence shortly after, treating the 2024 X cycle as a second peak rather than a continuation of the 2020 YouTube activity3.

How to Use This Meme

To make a "Ha Cha Cha" edit, creators typically open with the Megamort clip, extend the moment he fires the glove, and splice in a second clip of a chosen target getting zapped. Common conventions include matching the shrink ray's beam to an explosion or vanishing effect, holding on a reaction shot of the Clubhouse characters, and captioning the post with just "HA CHA CHA" in all caps.
