The it's a bird, it's a plane line comes from early Superman stories, where onlookers tried to identify the hero flying above them. Online creators later reused the setup for parody reveals, swapping Superman for anyone or anything unexpected. With PewDiePie, shortened by fans to PDP, the joke grew in gaming and meme edits linked to his huge YouTube presence. Versions are shared as short soundboard clips because the structure is instantly recognisable, the misdirection works without visuals, and the payoff can be dropped into almost any entrance or reveal.

The clip twists the classic it's a bird, it's a plane line to reveal PewDiePie instead, a short PDP meme sound used for funny entrances and reveals.
A voice builds suspense by copying the famous Superman introduction, starting with it's a bird and then it's a plane, as if something heroic is flying overhead. The delivery is excited and drawn out, letting the listener expect a superhero. Instead the final line lands as a joke reveal that it is PewDiePie, turning the heroic setup into an absurd punchline. The contrast between the serious buildup and the silly payoff makes the moment feel instantly playful, and the short runtime keeps the surprise sharp rather than dragging out the gag.
