Popular YouTuber and famous TikTok magician take part in the Bark-Off

YouTuber and rapper Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known online as IShowSpeed ​​​​or simply “Speed,” encountered Crawley, a viral TikTok magician, promptly fell to the ground and got into an extended barking competition with him in a clip that goes viral on the Internet.

I suspect many of you just read the sentence above and have no idea what I’m talking about, so let me try to give you some brief background information before we dive into the viral event.

Who are IShowSpeed ​​​​and Crawley the TikTok magician?

Speed ​​​​is a famous YouTuber, streamer and rapper who is best known for games like Fourteen days And NBA2K. He has been creating content on YouTube since 2016. but began to explode in 2021 as clips of him yelling at his teammates or the game he played became more and more popular. (Yes, it’s another streamer who became famous for shouting a lot.)

Anyway, fast forward to 2024 and he has over 25 million subscribers on YouTube and hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitch. He has become one of the most popular content creators and is currently in Europe watching the Euro 2024 football championship. And that’s how he finally met the popular wizard of TikTok.

Crawley, this is the name of the TikTok magician (please stay tuned)has gone viral on the video platform since the end of June. The videos were created by Russian TikTok user Crawley-Possessed and show him as a small, gnome-like wizard who crawls through shopping centers and other places while wearing a green robe. The videos have been viewed millions of times and led to people creating fan art inspired by the strange wizard. And that brings us to their barking duel.

The crossover everyone has been waiting for (I think…)

As reported by Dexterto on July 2Speed ​​encountered the TikTok wizard while visiting Poland. Now, I would assume that a young viral content creator like Speed ​​would know Crawley well, but maybe not. Whatever the case, when he sees the little wizard, he screams “What the hell is that!” and then jumps down on all fours on the floor and starts barking at Crawley.

In response to this action, Crawley begins to do strange things – I guess magician Noises – back to Speed ​​and the two do this for an uncomfortably long time. At one point, Speed ​​grabs the wizard by the shoulders, stands up and starts barking loudly in Crawley’s face as dozens and dozens of fans watch and cheer. When it’s all over, Crawley shouts back, “You’re a knight!” and that’s it.

The clip has gone viral on the internet, with at least one upload of it garnering nearly 5 million views in less than a day. Reactions are all over the place, with some fans of Crawley upset that he was snapped at, while others, presumably fans of Speed, find it hilarious and call it the ultimate 2024 crossover.

In the meantime, I’m sitting here trying to make sense of all this and wondering if it’s time to shut down the internet for a few weeks and give us all some peace and quiet.
