Crazy Dave, whose full name is Crazetopher David Blazing III, is the eccentric neighbour in Plants vs Zombies, released by PopCap in 2009. He helps the player defend their house, sells upgrades from his car boot, and communicates entirely in animated gibberish rather than intelligible dialogue. Short clips of his talking were later ripped from the game and shared on soundboards and in fan edits. The babble stayed popular because it needs no context, works over any confused explanation, and is instantly recognisable to anyone who played the original tower defence game.
