Jimmy MacDonald performed this vocal 'poit' for Disney's Pluto cartoon Pluto's Playmate, released in January 1941. MacDonald was Disney's master of cartoon voices and sound effects, famous for giving small actions a musical snap. The effect later circulated through Hollywood Edge's cartoon sound-effects libraries as a short vocal boink, bounce, and plunk. Editors rediscovered it as a clean, family-friendly pop for memes and short-form video. It survives because it is tiny, readable, and instantly cartoonish without needing any dialogue.

A quick cartoon 'poit' plunk from Disney's Pluto short Pluto's Playmate, voiced by Jimmy MacDonald. Creators use it as a bouncy pop for comic timing.
A 'poit' is a split-second vocal boink: a quick intake of air released into a rounded plunk, almost like a finger flick against a balloon. It lands soft and springy rather than loud, with a tiny bounce that makes a movement feel rubbery. On screen it sells a sudden thought, a light bonk, a popped bubble, or a character changing direction. The comedy comes from the smallness; the ear expects a bigger impact and gets a playful blip instead. It is perfect for cartoon physics, quick cuts, and moments that need a wink rather than a punch.
