PogChamp, also known as Pog Champion, is one of the oldest emotes on Twitch that uses the face of Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez with his mouth open wide. The Twitch emote is used as a way to express excitement or surprise both genuinely or sarcastically. Typically PogChamp is spammed during a stream when something exciting happens, such as pulling off a clutch kill or play, but the emote can also be used in a trolling fashion where there is no hype, like a streamer failing a challenge or being killed in a mundane setting.
Starting in 2017, multiple phrases and derivatives of PogChamp surfaced online like POGGERS, PogU, My Little PogChamp and KomodoHype. In 2021, the emote was banned following statements made by Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez about trump supporters during the January 6th Storming of the United States Capitol, resulting in a decision to remove the PogChamp emote from Twitch in early 2021.
The iconic image behind PogChamp was first seen in a Cross Counter TV video from 2010, which features an outtake of streamer and professional Street Fighter player Ryan Gutierrez, better known as Gootecks, making an exaggerated face with his mouth and eyes wide open in surprise after the cameraman bumped into his tripod and shook the camera (alongside fellow streamer Mike Ross). On November 26th, 2010, the outtake was uploaded to YouTube found below.
Though popularized on Twitch, the image is rumored to have originally surfaced on the website 4chan before spreading elsewhere. The image was used on 4chan within the gaming community shortly after the 2011 “Pogs Championship” video was uploaded when users stripped stills of Gutierrez’s shocked face and began using these to express surprise or excitement throughout the website in a number of threads.
