Poker Face was released by Lady Gaga in 2008 as a single from her debut album The Fame, and its stuttering poker-face chorus quickly became one of the most recognisable pop hooks of the late 2000s. As short clips and soundboards spread online, the pa-pa-poker fragment was lifted out of the full song and reused on its own for bluffing jokes, card games, and confident reveals. Its short length and instantly familiar rhythm have kept it in regular use in memes and video edits long after the song left the charts.
