Come along Pond became a recurring catchphrase during the Eleventh Doctor era of Doctor Who, which began in 2010 with Matt Smith as the Doctor and Karen Gillan as Amy Pond. The Doctor often addressed Amy by her surname, turning a simple invitation to follow him into a signature line fans immediately associate with their partnership. Clips of the line circulated in fan edits, reaction posts and soundboards, where its brevity and recognisable delivery made it easy to reuse out of context as a cheerful call to join in.
