The 'pogg' emote is a variation of the popular PogChamp family of emotes. It features a green blob character with a surprised 'O' mouth expression wearing a blue shirt. This emote conveys excitement, surprise, or amazement, similar to other 'Pog' derivatives, but with a more cute and cartoonish aesthetic.
Origin
The 'pogg' emote appears to be a derivative of the original PogChamp emote, which originated from a 2010 video featuring Ryan 'Gootecks' Gutierrez making a surprised face. This particular green blob variation likely emerged on third-party emote platforms like 7TV, BTTV (BetterTTV), or FFZ (FrankerFaceZ) around 2020-2021 when many alternative versions of PogChamp became popular after the original was removed from Twitch.
When to use
The 'pogg' emote is typically used in Twitch chat in the following situations:
- When something impressive or surprising happens during a stream - To express excitement about an announcement or reveal - When a streamer makes a good play or achieves something noteworthy - As a reaction to unexpected plot twists or developments - Sometimes used ironically for minor achievements or anticlimactic moments
