About this sound

The 2016 clip of Hillary Clinton telling a crowd to 'Pokemon Go to the polls,' now reused as a meme sound for election jokes and get-out-the-vote edits.

This is the short spoken clip of Hillary Clinton delivering the line Pokemon Go to the polls to a cheering crowd, with her upbeat rally delivery and the audience reaction underneath. The phrase lands as a playful mash-up of the mobile game craze and a get-out-the-vote message, which is why it sounds both earnest and unintentionally funny. Listeners hear a confident, campaign-style voice rather than a game sound, and the contrast between a serious election appeal and a cartoon monster-catching game gives the moment its comic punch. It works best as a quick punchline, instantly signalling voting, elections, or trying too hard to sound young and current.

Pro tip

Drop it on the cut to a ballot box or voting sticker, then lower the music so the line lands clean. Pair it with a light game sound for the joke, but avoid serious news footage where the irony feels off.

How people use it

Creators use it over election day voting montages.
It punctuates jokes about politicians trying to sound young.
Editors drop it before a character rushes to vote.
It captions get-out-the-vote reminders on social media.

It became shorthand for politicians trying to connect with younger voters, and it resurfaces during election seasons whenever creators want a quick, recognisable reference to voting, campaigning, or out-of-touch political messaging.
