Death of Crazy Frog: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:09, 3 May 2023

Crazy Frog is not canonically dead. However, there have been many hoaxes, rumors, edits and memes surrounding his death.

Wernquist Animation Death Edits

Shortly after The Annoying Thing animation was released by Erik Wernquist, many annoyed people began creating edits featuring Crazy Frog getting killed in many different ways.

Run over by a train

This video depicts Crazy Frog getting run over by a train. Interestingly, this video was referenced in the W32/Crog.worm virus, which promised to attach this video of Crazy Frog being run over.

Death by Swine Flu

@CrazyFrogg, a parody Twitter account, tweeted on June 11, 2009 that Crazy Frog is "coming down with Swine Flu (H1N1).^[1] Because this was one of the only Crazy Frog related Twitter accounts at the time, many assumed that this was the official Twitter account. On April 22, 2020, the real official Twitter account was created.

Suicide

On July 1, 2020, @TrueCrazyFrog, the official Twitter account, posted an image of Crazy Frog hanged by a noose with the caption, "Goodbye, world."^[3] This tweet was met with backlash, with many seeing that this tweet was a poor-taste joke that Crazy Frog killed himself. The post was later deleted with an apology posted afterward.^[4]

Blended by Alfred E. Neuman

On the cover of Australian MAD Magazine #420, Alfred E. Neuman, the mascot of the MAD Magazines, blends Crazy Frog. The featured article about Crazy Frog also outlines various gorey methods of killing Crazy Frog.
