-Hey, guys.
My name's M.D. And this is my chair.
And today I'm going to answer the age-old question of,
what is PogieJoe?
-A man, devoted to knowledge and wisdom,
known as the jack of all trades.
A scientist, willing to take risks
where others dare to dream.
Today, join him as he embarks on one of the oldest
questions in the universe, a question that could answer time
itself.
Join M.D.
-What am I doing up here again?
PogieJoe is a code that we can use
to unlock all the great mysteries
and questions of the universe.
Questions like, why are there brownies?
Why do those like diet sodas?
And maybe even the most important question of all
that we are all trying to understand.
What happened to Miley Cyrus?
How do we unlock these questions with the code PogieJoe?
I shall show you right now.
By legally changing my name to Joe
and constructing a pogo stick that bends the fabric of time
and reality itself called the Pogie Jump 5000,
I will attempt to unlock the Pogie Code.

Although all tests that were performed were inconclusive,
we do have even now a bigger question
to answer about PogieJoe.
Can Geico save you 15% more on car insurance?
How many idiotic YouTubers does it
take to answer the question of the meaning of what
is PogieJoe?
Great Scott!
-Good time of day to you, fair visitor.
I am PogieJoe, and this is the third anniversary
of my YouTube channel.
However, after all these years one question
has remained largely unanswered, or even
miniaturely answered, for that matter.
What is PogieJoe?
What is this bizarre term that I have decided
to name my entire YouTube career after?
Maybe you have the answer.
I have decided to scour the internet
to see if anyone truly knows the answer to why I called
this channel PogieJoe in the first place.
Let's find out what they say.
-I think PogieJoe actually means one of three things.
It could, one, be very well that he misspelled "boogie"
and he meant to be BoogieJoe.
It could also mean that maybe he wanted to do a little boogie.
But actually I don't think either of those
make quite as much sense as the last one.
I actually cheated and looked up what "pogie" meant.
And apparently it's urban slang in Canada for someone
who's going and picking up their welfare check.
So I think you guys as his viewers are probably giving him
a couple pennies on the AdSense on his videos here.
And thus, we're giving him, like most YouTubers,
a very small little paycheck.
-There was this guy called Joe who was walking along,
and he saw this farm.
And he was wondering, hmm, I wonder what's in this farm.
So he goes in, sees some chickens, some cows.
But then sees a wonderful-looking little
piggie, and he falls in love with it.
And that's what you call a PogieJoe.
PogieJoe could also mean one of the best YouTubers ever.
Just saying.
-OK, so hey, so when I was first approached
to give the official definition for what PogieJoe officially
means, I thought, well, I've got to return
to my Gaelic ancestry.
Because I'm Scottish, so I must have some Gaelic ancestry.
But unfortunately, I don't know a single word of Gaelic,
nor do I know anybody who does.
So what I did was I ran all the way up to the top of Scotland,
saw this family who looked rather Gaelic-looking.
And I was like, please, you've got to tell me.
You've got to tell me.
What does PogieJoe mean?
And they told me, it just means an all-round good chap.
So there you go.
-PogieJoe is the classic self-deprecating handle.
It confines Pogs, the gaming system
that became a craze in the 1990s only
to fade into obscurity, an Internet Explorer behemoth that
slowly lost relevance as it failed
to offer anything new for years.
It's an admission on his part that we are all
prone to that as creators.
And as such, it's something that he's always aware of.
It's very comforting to his viewers.
-PogieJoe.
Wait, why would we want to talk about PogieJoe
when we could talk about me?
We all know Joe only gets views because I'm in his videos.
No one's going to want to sit there and watch
some lamer with bed hair and think that's funny.
No, people watch it because of me.
Who wouldn't want to watch something so adorable?
So I don't understand why it's not
called Becca's Cute Channel or something like that.
Because really, if I wasn't here, he'd have like one view,
and it would be our grandma.
-Hi, I'm Baby Dinosaur.
Baby Dinosaur says hi!
PogieJoe has as much meaning to me as an infomercial.
It's persistent.
It won't go away.
It drives mediocrity into your skull.
And it has the occasional surprisingly good product.
Bye!
-The United States is a huge country, so big, in fact,
we not only have regional accents
but regional vocabularies.
Fizzy drinks might be pop, soda, soda pop, even a phosphate.
And this thing, depending on where you live,
is a sub, a hoagie, a wedge, a hero, a po' boy, a grinder,
or a puckie.
And in three counties of rural Alabama,
it's known as a PogieJoe.
-PogieJoe?
Oh yeah, I caught that once.
I was eating a sloppy joe once, and it turns out
it was actually undercooked.
So they rushed me to the hospital,
and it turns out I had a very severe case of PogieJoe.
Oh, the YouTuber PogieJoe.
Nope, never heard of him.
-This is what PogieJoe means to me.
Say hi, Amy.
-Finding the meaning of PogieJoe and what PogieJoe is
is pretty hard.
But I finally have found PogieJoe using this.
It is right--
-What PogieJoe means to me.
[SIGH]
A man who keeps things straight.
A man who takes time out of his day to make everyone happy.
Just a plain awesome guy.
And I would love it if he kept making videos.
And that's what he will do, because I believe in him.
-What is PogieJoe?
Well, every week Joe uploads a new video,
and I watch all of them.
And every week I'm like, that's awesome.
So PogieJoe is awesome, but that's not where it ends.
I mean, PogieJoe is like a synonym of the word "awesome."
You can use it anywhere.
Like, hey man, you bought a new bicycle?
That's so PogieJoe.
Or you just saw "Inception" for the first time,
and you're like, that was PogieJoe!
The point is, forget the word "awesome"
and start using PogieJoe, because it's way better.
-Well, I can tell you that you are
pronouncing your first name wrong.
I know it's your name and you feel
you can pronounce it any way you want.
But the truth is, pogie has been around for a long time,
and it's actually pronounced "pogey."
Pogey was the name given to the company
clerk in the military back in the mid-20th century.
When the soldiers would receive candy or goodies
from their friends, that would become pogey bait because
by taking your candy to the company clerk,
you could possibly get a weekend pass or go on leave.
So it was pretty important to get that pogey bait.
Now, no offense.
You don't look like candy, nor do you even
look like eye candy.
Sorry.
-Yay!
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you, PogieJoe.
Happy birthday to you.
-PogieJoe means pegassist.
Pegassist-- it's a pun, because I like puns.
I'd draw you a picture, but I already did.
Basically, Joe makes his videos, puts them on the internet,
and hopes that somewhere in the world
there's a pegasus watching, because he assists pegasi,
even if he doesn't realize it.
So somewhere in the world, there might be one watching.
Who knows?
I don't know.
-What is PogieJoe?
Honestly, I have no idea.
But I have a friend named Google who usually helps me out
with these kinds of things.
Hold on.
Let me look it up real quick.
PogieJoe.
Oh, looks like it's a YouTube channel.
There you go.
How do I stop this?
Probably the Stop button.
Here we go.

-To me, PogieJoe, for some reason
the word reminds me of an orange.
I don't know if it's a good-tasting orange or what.
But it reminds me of some sort of orange.
I don't know.
Wikipedia will probably say something different.
-PogieJoe is a gravitational force
that defies the way the world works.
PogieJoe is the man who makes things better.
PogieJoe is a work of art.
PogieJoe is a god.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-All of you are still very creatively wrong.
However, I know of one man who knows the true answer.
Are you all ready for this?
Please, everybody welcome my father.
-What's that?
Oh, PogieJoe, you say?
Well, PogieJoe, when he was just a little tyke,
his mommy used to call him Joe-Joe.
And then it became Jogie Beaners and Joe-Joe Beaners
and all kinds of sorts of stuff.
Ooh!
Oh, they used to call him the darnedest things,
if you know what I mean.
And eventually, of course, it became Jogie.
And somehow it morphed into Jogie Pogie.
And that's how it got there.
Of course, it's PogieJoe.
And that's where it comes from.
-And this concludes the third year of PogieJoe on YouTube.
May there be many, many, more.
How did you guys like it?
How do you guys like being my slaves every time
I want to make these videos?
-A [? gun. ?]
-Tackle him down!
-[SHOUTS]
-I love you guys.
Thank you for helping me with my videos all the time.
{-Donald.} Ow!
-Sorry, {Beth.}
-But most especially, thank you, all you lovely viewers,
for watching my stuff, for liking my stuff,
for sharing my stuff, for--
-My stuff.
[HUMMING]
-Hey, I want this too.
-And for supporting me in all the work
that I do to create these short films and blogs and parodies
and songs.
It's great fun for me.
And I'm honored that people enjoy it.
So I'm going to keep doing it, and we'll see what happens.
All right, that's it.
Thank you all for watching.
