yeah, right

I doubt that

Yeah, right is a sarcastic expression of disbelief or dismissal, often drawn out with exaggerated intonation.

The literal meaning—agreement—is inverted through tone: You finished the whole project in an hour? Yeah, right.

It signals that the speaker finds a claim implausible or ridiculous.
