In episode 2 of The Angry Video Game Nerd, "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", the Nerd says: "Argh! I'm getting 'pown'ed by Billy Pones!"

I also believe the correct pronunciation is "pown". You can clearly hear the main character say "pown" a couple of times at the beginning of the classic flash animation I hate yuo myg0t 2. You can find the piece below.
