Plim Plim is the signature ident sound of Rede Globo, Brazil's largest television network, where the short chime has marked commercial breaks and channel idents for decades. It became a piece of shared cultural shorthand: Brazilians recognise it instantly, and the jingle is endlessly parodied in comedy sketches, funk remixes and internet memes. As recognisable in Brazil as the Law and Order DUN DUN sting is abroad, it now works as a universal symbol for 'we are on television', which is why meme editors reach for it whenever a clip needs fake broadcast gravitas.

Rede Globo's Plim Plim is Brazil's iconic two-note TV ident jingle. Creators use the bright chime in memes as a fake commercial break or punchline sting.
Anyone who has watched Brazilian television knows this sound by heart. Plim Plim is the bright, springy two-note chime that punctuates Rede Globo's on-air idents, usually landing just before a commercial break or right after one ends. The notes bounce like a tiny xylophone melody, playful and instantly upbeat, and for millions of Brazilians they carry a rush of living-room nostalgia. Online, that familiarity is exactly the joke: dropping the chime over a random clip instantly frames it as 'official television', turning an ordinary moment into something that feels broadcast, important and faintly absurd.
