Oh, it’s a reference from the original generation of the Pokemon games. Charmander is one of three pokemon the player can choose between at the start of the gameto take on the adventure. Pokemon “evolve” after winning enough battles against other pokemon.

tl;dr: Crabs are the perfect life form and we all yearn to evolve into them.
Oh, Charmander is a Pokémon from the videogame Pokémon. In the video the titular animals evolve into different, stronger animals.
They fight battles and after winning enough of them it triggers their evolution.
The joke is that instead of evolving as they do in the videogame, they instead follow the meme concept of carcinisation and all evolved into a crab shaped Pokémon.
… a form of convergent evolution in which non-crab crustaceans evolve a crab-like body plan
Applies to crustaceans only. :(
So it’d be like talking about lifes “many attempts at making a cow” and showing a bunch of bull like animals with horns.
Similar lifeforms, once put in a similar environment for a long period of time, tend to develop similar features.
