YMMV / Crazy Frog

• Covered Up: Did you think "Axel F" or "Popcorn"^note Originally composed by Gershon Kingsley but commonly attributed to the band Hot Butter. were original Crazy Frog compositions? Many children born after the 1990s think so.
• Cult Classic: Compared to his heyday in the early 2000s where the blue frog was everywhere, he isn't as well known now outside of his cult fandom who consist of people who enjoyed his songs as a kid. In stark contrast to Mr. Blobby, Crazy Frog now enjoys a safe, moderate popularity among fans who hope to see him do well in his future musical endeavours.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Death of Crazy Frog ^Explanation Due to his reputation as The Scrappy, a lot of people had wanted to see him die, enough so that an entire page on the Crazy Frog Wiki chronicles this phenomenon.
  • The Crazy Frog Bros.^Explanation A video of two brothers lipsynching to "Axel F" while dancing in their basement which went viral and also created the sub-meme Gate in Childhood. The two brothers would later do a re-enactement of the original video decades later.
  • Gate in Childhood. ^Explanation Japanese people mistook the "Crazy Frog Bros" video for "leaked" footage of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs when they were young, leading into a lot of Gag Subs used over the Crazy Frog's voice (even the audibly English "THIS IS THE CRAZY FROG!"). This may be why the Crazy Frog wasn't successful in Japan.
  • "To Me, Crazy Frog Is Just a Normal Frog" ^Explanation Born from a viral tweet referencing how the Joker's twisted perception would cause him to see "crazy things" as normal, it eventually became an image macro in 2021 and the meme took off.
• The Problem with Licensed Games: Crazy Frog Racer wasn't much more than an F-Zero ripoff with unplayably bad controls. It somehow got a sequel, which not only retains all of the problems of the first one but changes so little of the gameplay that it may as well just be an expansion pack.
• The Scrappy: Back in his heyday during the 2000s, Crazy Frog sure as hell lived up to his name according to detractors. The character was everywhere in the UK, known for his "ding-ding" sound that really got on their nerves in addition to his insufferable rictus grin that only served to rub in. There were even fake animations involving his death (one of which was referenced by a worm virus called W32/Crog.worm that promised a video of Crazy Frog being killed or ran over by a train).
• Suspiciously Similar Song: Some merchandise uses a track called "Crazy Toy Song" that is identical to "Axel F" besides featuring a different synth riff, likely for licensing reasons.
