Pinky Dinky Doo is an American animated children's series created by Jim Jinkins that premiered in 2005 on Noggin, following Pinky and her little brother Tyler as they invent stories to solve everyday problems. Clips and sounds from the show later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits, detached from the original episodes. This crying clip survived because its simple wa wa wa performance needs no context to read as sadness, so creators reuse it as a light, childlike reaction rather than a realistic cry in modern edits and compilations today.
