About

"Ha Ha Ha, No" is an expression that is often featured in reaction images and animated GIFs to dismiss someone else's opinion in a patronizing manner, similar to the use of other phrases like "Ha ha ha, oh wow" and "how about no?"

Origin

The earliest known use of the phrase in a reaction image can be found in an animated GIF uploaded by DeviantArtist[4] hprince329 on June 11th, 2003. Titled “Hahaha – NO," the image shows a small laughing emoticon that abruptly turns into a serious face (shown below).



Precursor

“Ha Ha Ha, No” has been used as a popular trope[2] in television shows since as early as 1969, when it was mentioned in the “Silly Job Interview” sketch on the British comedy television show Monty Python’s Flying Circus (shown below).
