Pica Pau is the Brazilian Portuguese name for Woody Woodpecker, the cartoon character created by Walter Lantz who first appeared in 1940. In Brazil the dubbed series ran for decades on television and built a huge nostalgic following, with many dubbed lines later recirculated as short audios on WhatsApp and meme pages. This particular phrase, about stealing gasoline and spotting a guard, survives because the Brazilian voice performance is remembered on its own, separate from the original English cartoon, and is now shared detached from its episode as a reaction sound.
