The official account of Crash Bandicoot on TikTok has recently posted a video of the character trying to imitate the dance of Wednesday Addams from Netflix's Wednesday. Given just how popular the Netflix comedy horror series is currently, it is likely amusing for fans of both the show and the video game to see the titular character of the Crash Bandicoot series to give the funky dance moves a go.
This is not the first time that video game fans have taken inspiration from Netflix's Wednesday. Recently, an Overwatch 2 fan created a skin concept art of Damage hero Sombra as Wednesday Addams, while an Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan made a Wednesday-themed room on their island. Given that Crash Bandicoot made waves online with its latest announcement of the upcoming Crash Team Rumble game, it is not surprising for the team to take up the online trend of the Wednesday Addams dance to bring more eyes to their social media accounts.
In a short TikTok video, the mascot of Crash Bandicoot shows off how smooth they can move. Taking inspiration from the prom scene in Netflix's Wednesday series, the mascot follows Wednesday's peculiar movements that many on the social media platform have already imitated. The caption even tagged the Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega, asking if Crash was actually doing the dance moves justice. As of writing, the 13-second video has already garnered close to 500,000 views and 62,500 likes, proving that the current Wednesday dance trend is still trending and showing up on people's "For You" feed on the platform.
Many users on the TikTok comment thread seemed to enjoy seeing Crash Bandicoot showing off his dance moves, even though it is only the character's mascot. Some comments made references to "Cash Banooca" and Caddicarus. For those who are not aware, Cash Banooca is the named coined by YouTuber Caddicarus for the Crash Bandicoot video game series. With the derpy look on the mascot's face, it is not surprising that fans are reminded of Caddicarus and his fun way of naming the platformer.
Nevertheless, fans are likely amused by how Crash Bandicoot is following the latest trends online. The development team is likely looking for more ways to keep the Crash Bandicoot series relevant to today's current gaming generation. And if Crash continues to post amusing videos on TikTok, more people will likely be exposed to the series, and hopefully generate more interest in actually playing the games in the future.
