Greeny Phatom is a long running animated web series made in a deliberately crude drawing style, and clips from it have circulated on meme soundboards for years separate from full episodes. This crash became detached as a reusable impact joke, shared alongside other exaggerated meme hits like the vine boom and the metal pipe clang. Its appeal is the excess, an eight second wreck for a one second accident, and editors keep returning to it for fail compilations, parody cartoons and loud punchlines where a normal crash would feel too restrained.
