This Troper uses this trope a lot. His favorite line is "Congratulations, you finally achieved absolutely nothing productive!"

7}} This troper constantly uses this trope, frequently with the line, "They get the slow clap."

This Troper used it at a wedding, he didn't feel like being at, slowly clapping while everyone else wildly clapped. I'm also found on using it on friends followed by the word "Bravo."

This Troper calls it the "golf clap."

Inspired by WorldOfWarcraft, this troper likes to use "/golfclap" in chats. Oh, and in WorldOfWarcraft.

I thought the "slow clap" is when you clap at full volume-but a low speed. Taking your hands to at least shoulder width apart, or swinging them as far apart as they'll go and hamming up the act of bringing them together for extra points: example being Heath Ledger's clap as the Joker when applauding Gordon's promotion. A "golf clap" is a clapping appropriate for the usually quiet game of golf: much quieter, it is performed by holding one hand stationary, holding the other hand near, and clapping by only extending and flexing the wrist of the movement hand so that the movement hand's fingers strike the palm of the stationary hand. The result there is a very rapid but very quiet clapping sound.

This troper does it whenever she can. Occasionally accompanied by an amused (but possibly creepy) smirk, if not a look that says "God you're a moron."

This troper can no longer do this clap without being spurred to make a Christopher Nolan reference.

Trope + Raised Eyebrow = Instant annoyance in the target and great satisfaction.

This troper simply loves using it. With some laser guided sarcasm the victim is usually humiliated as hell.

At one of this troper's former school, it was traditional to do this whenever someone dropped (and/or broke) a glass in the cafeteria.

This troper and his friends have used the SarcasticClapping to death and decided to take it one step beyond: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the ''one-handed'' clap.

I do this a lot. I also combine this with phrases like "Congratulations, would you please give your acceptance speech for the Darwin Awards!", "Congratulations", "A-MAAAAAAAA-ZING!" and "WOAH DUDE!"

This troper used to use this a lot. He stopped after a friend got ''slightly'' pissed and whacked him in the face with her ''slightly'' heavy purse.

When this one was in high school, a fellow known for being a bit nasty to the "odd ones" managed to trip in the cafeteria and send his food flying. After the traditional "OHHHH!" my school lets loose in such circumstances, this troper stood up added a slow clap-which the ENTIRE CAFETERIA picked up on. Hundreds of people all sarcastically applauding. My friend couldn't stop laughing for five minutes.

This troper's brother can barely do anything important for himself.Seriously, he's 12 and can't even tie shoelaces or ride a bike.He gets this trope thrown at him by me all the time.

Congratulations, you're a cunt.

*sarcastically claps*

This troper averts this, instead giving the person a thumbs up and saying "GOOD JOB!"

This troper does the exact same thing. Sometimes alternating with "WAY TO GO".

I have several wonderful friends who are prone to, shall we say, sudden declarations having nothing to do with the subject at hand and taking a moment to understand certain things. Cue this.

I do this all the time to my mum and her best friend. Sometimes, if my hands are occupied, I say, 'I'd sarcastically clap, but my hands are full.' Sometimes, I'll add a, 'Smooth,' to the clapping. Also, being the dork I am, I'll sometimes sarcastically clap when a character does something I find awkward, idiotic, or a combination of both.

This troper enjoys doing this, usually muttering, with sarcasm, 'Congratulations,' or 'Wooooow...' depending on the subject, and often getting an instant "Shut up" if the person catches it.

During this troper's graduation, while we were all filing into our seats, a small group went into the wrong row. Someone nearby started a sarcastic clap, and since most people there couldn't see what was going on, they all figured they should join in. That's over 3000 students, parents, teachers, and guests sarcastically clapping for the one kid who went one row further back than they should.

This Troper, as the emotionless DeadpanSnarker, got into the habit of clapping like this all the time, even when genuinely congratulating someone.

This is one of my friends's favorite methods for being annoying. Usually says "GOOD JOB"

This troper does it all the time. Particularly with a certain friend who often does something to deserve it IMO.

I once went on a field trip for AP Bio that involved canoeing across a river. Most people struggled a little, but eventually got to the end. Me and my partner got to the end about 30 minutes after everyone else. When we walked on to the bus, we were greeted by a not-so-enthusiatic round of applause.

One of this troper's friends chose this as a tic in ''{{Paranoia}}''. Much Perversity was granted.

Once, on cop day, an officer came to my school to give a speech. Almost an hour later, during which all the school was standing, the guy received this because he had finally shut up. The problem? He came back next year!

It seems to be taboo wherever this troper goes that if someone knocks over a chair the rest of the people in the vicinity are required to start clapping.

This troper does it a lot when she sees jaywalkers (when there is a crosswalk 10 feet away from them) and extremely stupid drivers (She lives in the Bay Area, the Mecca of moronic drivers).

This Troper's entire class will do this whenever anyone does something stupid. It's fun.

This troper's school accidentally put too many band geeks in one lunch. We all sit together, and if someone at a nearby table does something stupid many band geeks shall sarcastically clap them into shame.

This troper does the sarcastic clap by default, even if its genuine applause.

This troper's ROTC friends are impressed if you went to basic training. They are not impressed if you brag that you're a Private First Class. Cue this trope.

ThisTroper and his friends tended to do this back when we played ''Magic'' regularly and someone made a boneheaded play. Alternatively, everyone would do a simultaneous point-and-laugh.

Whenever the school shoves us in the auditorium to listen to a speech about being idealistic morons and how sweet and cute and innocent we high schoolers are, the speaker receives a nice big round of this.

A slowly growing catchphrase of mine would be "Very good, Brittany!" (Brittany is my BFF. We're both a little slow sometimes.)

This troper tends to do this a lot, sometimes accompanied by catchphrase "You get a bone." ,just plain "I'm happy for *insert something here.*" or even a "Woo."

This tropette and her friend did this alot yesterday. For no reason at all.

This Tropette does this. A lot.

Whenever someone pronounces something like "I'm going to the bathroom", this troper ALWAYS replies "Have fun".

This troper tends to do this whenever someone drops a plate in the school cafeteria, along with most of the other students. Accompanied by "Mazel Tov" if the plate breaks.

This troper is becoming a big fan of it, especially when watching a show where a character does something stupid. (Or when he hears something he thinks is ridiculous on the news.)

Any time a friend of this troper does something stupid and/or downright idiotic, he bestows them with a standing ovation and "BRILLIANT!" The reactions range from playing along with the joke to play-slapping or play-screaming at him.
