After a long period of inactivity, his Website/YouTube channel ([[https://www.youtube.com/user/CrazyFrogVEVO found here]]) suddenly became active once more in 2018, with a documentary on the character's creation being released and new activity popping up on various parts of his account. Whether this is hinting at a possible return for the odd amphibian or not remains to be seen.

A year later, the two creators sold the character and sound to ringtone service Jamster who rechristened the character "The Crazy Frog," turning the sound into a hugely successful ringtone. The character was popular enough that Jamster eventually produced a techno cover of Harold Faltermeyer's [[Film/BeverlyHillsCop "Axel F"]] with samples of the sound, complete with a music video. It was popular enough to keep Music/{{Coldplay}}'s "Speed Of Sound" off the #1 spot on Billboard and eventually warranted two albums worth of similar covers. A cover of the synthpop classic "Popcorn" had some success, but it was mainly limited to Europe.

* {{Mascot}}: For Jamba!/Jamster at its height.

* YourMindMakesItReal: Crazy Frog has been shown to be able to conjure a pretty fast invisible "imaginary" car when he needs to, most notable in [[https://youtu.be/k85mRPqvMbE Axel F]].

** Along with the removal of the Frog's penis, the "Axel F" video was altered to remove the explosion at the end. This had the side effect of having Crazy Frog [[OrphanedReference suddenly appear covered in ash at the end for no reason]].

* {{Bowdlerize}}: The original animation of the character gave him a very visible penis. It remained all the way up to the "Axel F" video until MoralGuardians complained and it was digitally removed.

The character spawned a few toys and two hugely panned video games before [[FifteenMinutesOfFame fading into obscurity]].

* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: The Crazy frog.

-> '"Let's get that Crazy Frog!"'

A year later, the character and sound were bought, with both creators' consent, by ringtone service Jamster who rechristened the character "The Crazy Frog" and turned the sound into a hugely successful ringtone. The character was eventually popular enough that Jamster eventually produced a music video of the character's sounds remixed into a techno cover of Harold Faltermeyer's [[Film/BeverlyHillsCop "Axel F"]] and, later, a whole album's worth of similar covers.

Crazy Frog (also known as The Annoying Thing) made it's debut in 2003 in ringtone form by Erik Wernquist as a new mascot for Jamba, a ringtone service. Eventually, in mid-2004, a music video was released for the Mascot, eventually turning into a music album artist.
