“Poink” is cartoon FX heard mostly in those Hanna-Barbera shows (Non-H-B cartoons as well). Sound coose to the word “point”. This sound FX mostly means someone (or some thing) being stuck in rear (or the eye) by a sharp object following by the obligatory yell of pain.
Wow, when I watched cartoons on TV, they didn’t spell out the sound effects. Did you have the closed-captioning on, Josh, or have you read the scripts?

David DePatie and Friz Freleng.
But if anyone deserves credit for popularizing this type of gag, I agree that it should be Tex Avery.
