Bob the Builder is a British animated children's series created by Keith Chapman that first aired in the late 1990s, following Bob and his team of talking vehicles as they build and repair things in their town. Dubbed versions helped it reach audiences around the world, including the Portuguese-language Bob o Construtor familiar to viewers in Brazil and Portugal. Short clips from its opening have since circulated online, where fans reuse the instantly recognisable tune to signal teamwork, construction and childhood nostalgia in short videos and memes.
