The 'Crash Bandicoot Woah' meme stems from a series of videos featuring a low-poly, distorted model of the titular character shouting 'Woah!' in a high-pitched, repetitive manner. While the sound originates from the classic PlayStation games, its resurgence as an internet phenomenon began around 2017, largely popularized by animators like OneyNG and later adopted by the wider gaming community. The meme typically involves Crash spinning or dancing to various songs, with the 'Woah' sound effect synchronized to the beat. It has evolved into a versatile reaction used to signify surprise, overwhelm, or general absurdity, often leaning into the surreal 'deep fried' aesthetic of modern internet humor.
