From front page:
One of the two pets that was added to the PTR is a pop culture reference — Left Shark! (pictured right, image courtesy of Wowhead)
Can anyone explain this "pop culture reference"?????

The main difference is that the Left Shark was perceived as more of a sloppy/silly performance rather than a choreographed dance routine. It was just something people thought was funny since it was unexpected of a professional, high-budget show.

I think you might be underestimating its popularity. Even if you're not, it won't be the first time they've put in something esoteric.
