"Tex: Well, then let's go get this big thing of yours.

Tucker: Bow chicka bow wow!

Tex: Oh, shut up.

Church: Shut up, Tucker.

Tucker: Did somebody call for a really hairy plumber? Bow chicka bow wow! I came here to lay some pipe. Bow-chicka-bow-wow! So I hear you got sisters -- bow chicka -- who are twins! -- wow wow! Hey, are you a model or famous actress? Bow-chicka-bow-wow! Bow-chicka-chicka-bow-wow-chicka-chicka-bow-bow-chicka-chicka-chi-bow-bow!"

- Red vs. Blue

"Bow Chicka Wow Wow" is the sound of a character beatboxing porno music, based on the funk-rock soundtracks most 70's pornos had. This is usually done after the character has seen or heard something lewd.

See also Sexophone. Not to be confused with the children's alphabet rhyme Chicka Chicka Boom Boom nor the song in Phineas and Ferb. Also not to be confused with the similarly basso register of the song "Oh Yeah." Nor is it Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
