In March 2005, anti-virus vendors discovered the W32/Crog.worm computer virus (a contraction of Crazy Frog), which spreads through file-sharing networks and MSN Messenger, exploiting the Crazy Frog's notoriety with a promise of an animation depicting his demise[6][7]. On 21 September 2005, the ASA ruled that the Crazy Frog, along with other Jamba ringtone advertisements, must be shown after 9pm (pdf) [5]. As the authority had already adjudicated on the matter and confirmed the matter was not within its remit, the unusual step was taken of adding a notice to their online and telephone complaints system informing viewers that Jamster!-related complaints should be directed towards the broadcaster or the regulator, Ofcom[3][4]. (source: Media Guardian, 20 June 2005).

An estimated 10% of the population saw the advert more than 60 times. 87% of the population saw the Crazy Frog adverts an average of 26 times, 15% of the adverts appeared twice during the same advertising break and 66% were in consecutive ad breaks. According to The Guardian, Jamster bought 73,716 spots across all TV channels in May alone – an average of nearly 2,378 slots daily – at a cost of about £8 million, just under half of which was spent on ITV. The intensity of the advertising was unprecedented in British television history.

In May 2005, viewers inundated the ASA with new complaints regarding the continuous airing of the latest Crazy Frog advertisements. It costs £3 a week to subscribe to Jamster!'s service. The complaints were upheld; the full adjudication (PDF) is available online. Viewers felt that it was not made sufficiently clear that they were subscribing to a service, rather than paying a one-time fee for their ringtone.

In April 2005, television viewers complained about misleading advertisements produced by Jamba!, trading as Jamster! and RingtoneKing. complaints dismissed (PDF). Similar action occurred in Australia, with similar results. The full adjudication (PDF) is available online.

However, Jamba! voluntarily censored the character's genital area in later broadcasts of its advertisements. The ASA did not uphold the complaints, pointing out that the advert was already classified as inappropriate for airing during children's television programmes as it contained a premium rate telephone number, and furthermore added that it was the broadcasters' decision as to how often an advertisement should be shown. There were also complaints regarding the frequency with which the advertisement appeared on television, reportedly up to twice an hour across most of the day[2], with some channels showing it more than once per commercial break. Some parents complained that this made inappropriate viewing for children, claiming that the commercial had prompted embarrassing questions.

In February 2005, viewers submitted a number of complaints to the United Kingdom's Advertising Standards Authority regarding Jamba!'s advertising campaign, complaining that Crazy Frog appeared to have genitalia. Jamba! also have available "The Crazy Frog is Puking", "Crazy Frog and Its Girlfriend", in which he is apparently making out, and "The Crazy Frog is F**king", in which gasping and smacking skin can be heard. These include the sitar-based "Crazy Frog India", reggae-flavoured "Crazy Frog Jamaica" and Jimmy Barnes-esque "Crazy Frog Australian Rock".

He contacted Erik, apparently giving an impromptu performance to confirm his claims. Eventually, word reached Daniel that his impressions had been used in a now well-known animation.

The animation was a popular attraction at Erik's website, but the sound was credited to "Anonymous". Erik used the LightWave 3D modelling application to produce the animation and posted it on his website. In 2003, Malmedahl's fellow Swede Erik Wernquist encountered the sound effect and was inspired to create the 3D animation "The Annoying Thing" to accompany it. The most notable example was the Insanity test, which required test subjects to keep a straight face while staring at a photograph of Rubens Barrichello in a Ferrari Formula 1 car as the sound effect was played.

The sound effect was quickly included in other Flash animations that spread virally among Internet users. After Daniel's television debut, recordings of his performance began appearing on peer to peer file sharing networks and various websites under the filename "2TAKTARE.MP3" ("Tvåtaktare" is Swedish for "Two stroker"). He posted this on a website and caught the attention of a Swedish television researcher, who convinced Daniel to perform the sound live on air. In 1997, 17-year-old Swede Daniel Malmedahl recorded himself impersonating the sounds produced by internal combustion engines.

. Negotiations are also underway for a TV series based on the character. The Crazy Frog has also spawned a range of merchandise and toys which were very popular for Christmas 2005. The album Crazy Frog Presents Crazy Hits and second single "Popcorn" continue to enjoy worldwide chart success.

The Crazy Frog spawned a worldwide hit single with a remix of "Axel F", which reached the number one spot in the UK, Australia and most of Europe, although relatively unknown (aside from a few internet pop-up ads, and several commericals) in the United States. Marketed by the ringtone provider Jamba! (known as Jamster! in some markets), the animation was originally created to accompany a sound effect produced by Daniel Malmedahl while attempting to imitate the sound of a two-stroke moped engine. Crazy Frog is a character used in the marketing of a ring tone based on 'The Annoying Thing', a computer animation created by Erik Wernquist. Article on negotiations.
