I Play 'Pokémon Go' Everyday Song

The short video shows a TV screen with the words “Who’s that Pokémon?” and an outline of a creature to guess the name of. A game that would play during commercial breaks when the show was on air. Someone in the background of the video yells out that it’s Pikachu in response to the television, and then let’s out an anguished “Goddamnit!” followed by yelling when it’s revealed that it’s really Koffing.

The video gained popularity, inspired more videos, and eventually became a meme. Now the meme is back. People are tweeting “Who’s that Pokémon?” in so many different contexts that it’s taken on several new meanings. Sometimes the phrase is accompanied by photos of everyday objects, friends, or an actual pokémon as a joke.
