By now, we're sure you all know Angry Birds. Rovio's casual puzzler has been flying high since 2009, and while the mobile game has sometimes been accused of being a Crush the Castle rip-off, it's gone from strength to strength - even boasting TWO movies.
More recently, Rovio was bought by SEGA for a whopping $775. Although it's a far cry from Microsoft's record-breaking $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the fact Rovio claims Angry Birds is the first mobile game to reach a billion downloads is something.
Angry Birds accused of inappropriate TikTok video
Part of Angry Birds' appeal is its child-friendly aesthetic while also appealing to adults trying to pass the time on their morning commute. However, the Angry Birds TikTok has been called out for a strangely adult video where one of the birds plays a game of Smash or Pass.
For those who don't know, Smash or Pass has someone being shown pictures of a popular celebrity or character, deciding whether they'd smash (use your imagination) or avoid them. There's no rhyme or reason to the video, as it's not like the account is promoting Angry Birds 3.
Theorising on which video game character you'd f**k or not is a frankly bizarre concept in 2023. The famous Red from Angry Birds tells the titular Princess Zelda of Zelda, Assassin Creed's Ezio, and Bayonetta they're in luck. Band news for Link, Final Fantasy XV’s Noctis, and Tracer from Overwatch 2, as he gives them a pass.
The creepiest moment is when Red says no to Pokemon's Ash Ketchum and Pit from Kid Icarus because they're kids - only saying no after clarifying that they're children. Possibly the weirdest bit of the video is that the image of Pit is an oddly buff and topless version.
Fans react to creepy Angry Birds video
As you can imagine, the video caught everyone's attention for all the wrong reasons. One said, "No way I just heard Red say mommy," while another added, "Immediately when Rovio was sold this comes out." A third simply concluded, "Am I dreaming or what."
In a time when Twitter has gone wild and a faux Disney Jr. UK account managed to get the gold verification checkmark, you have to be careful what you believe. However, we can 100% confirm this is the official Angry Birds TikTok, leaving questions about how this was approved.
For the time being, the video stays up. Then again, we wouldn't be surprised if Rovio pulls this NSFW clip from its own TikTok. Bonk, Red is flying off to horny jail.
