Oddbods is an animated comedy series built around a group of colourful characters who express themselves through sounds, gestures and slapstick rather than spoken dialogue, which is why short clips like Pogo's cry travel so well online. Pogo, the blue member of the group, is known as the prankster, so his crying is often used ironically rather than as genuine sadness. The exact episode for this recording is not identified, but the clip circulates on soundboards and in short-form edits where a quick cartoon reaction is needed.
