Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Spingus is a prominent example of 'shitpost' surrealism that parodies the obscure, often bizarrely named mascot platformers of the 1990s and early 2000s. The meme typically takes the form of low-resolution, fake PlayStation 1 box art featuring non-existent characters that sound like absolute nonsense. It first gained traction on social media platforms like Twitter and Tumblr as a way to mock extreme nostalgia and the oddly specific naming conventions of the 32-bit era. Usage often involves creating absurd sequels, spin-offs, or collector's editions, positioning these imaginary characters as legendary icons of a forgotten gaming history that never actually existed.
