Even more impressively, the viral video for “Baby Shark” is the most viewed video in the history of Youtube, having wracked up eight BILLION hits. That’s right: eight BILLION hits. That’s a lot. Pinkfong, the South Korean company that produced the definitive version of “Baby Shark” realized what a gold mine they had in the smash-hit video and song, its title character, and supporting characters Mommy Shark, Daddy Shark, Grandpa Shark, and Grandma Shark. So they’ve spent the last half-decade relentlessly exploiting the popularity of “Baby Shark” in myriad ways. There’s a Nickelodeon Jr. show that debuted in December of last year, as well as a feature film in Pinkfong & Baby Shark’s Space Adventure and merchandise up the wazoo.
