Crank Green’s first appearance was early in the 2022 Project for Awesome. Hank had asked for ideas of things to do when financial goals were reached, which he put into balloons. The second balloon contained the instructions from anonymous, “pretend you’re a crab. You have to do a good job.” Hank took those instructions seriously and did such a good job that many memes were born. When joined by Thought Cafe, the name “Crank Green” (for crab Hank Green) was added.
Hank used one of the memes to create a filter to turn himself into Crank Green. He and the Gregory Brothers took this as inspiration to write the song “I Wanna Be A Crab.”
When Hank visited Nerdcrafteria, they were in process building Crank Green. ChoppA made a Crank Green cake, after letting chat decide what cake to make.
During the Dino Space Program, someone donated for Crob the Crab to go to the Moon which, while not Crank, was on theme.
While trying to make “Project for Awesome” trend higher on twitter than the McElroys, Hank declared this to be “the crabiest of livestreams.”
Rosianna ran a poll to decide what her final kitty time drawing should be. “Crat” (crab cat) won in a landslide.
In the last hours of the P4A, John ran a poll pitting Crank Green and Beanie Sandfurbs against each other.
Throughout the P4A, many people pretended to be a crab and all did a good job. This includes: Orin, Taylor, Hallease, and the Gregory Brothers.
Many Crank Green-related memes were created, as were combinations of Crank Green and Beanie Sandfurbs, called Beanie Crabfurbs.
Early in the 2023 P4A, Hank used his Crank Green filter to scare John. He also brought it out while talking with Karen Puzzles. Memes involving Crank Green appeared throughout the livestream.
P4A 2024 had a few appearances from Crank Green. Hank used the Crank Green filter on his computer a few times and he was built in Nerdcrafteria.
Additionally, a Nerdfighter made a wooden automata featuring P4Q and Crank!
