He never did sing for you, did he?

[kaijinscendre]

But without him we would have not gotten the Spaceballs scene! That would be a travesty.

I've considered doing a secret like this. I hated the movie "Me and You and Everyone We Know," but my film teacher adored it so much I assumed I had horrible taste. Then Oancitizen reviewed it, and he said pretty much everything I thought about it. It felt like such a relief.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, in his review of "The Future" Kyle says he was strongly influenced by a number of people close to him who really hated "Me and You..." (it seems Ven was one, or was standing in for those people) and that he really accentuated the negative in that review. I'm not saying it's not within your prerogative to dislike it for the reasons listed in that review, it totally is. I'm just relaying Kyle's statement that he felt his review "wasn't fair" and that while he stands by his critique, there's more to it that he likes than he let on in the review.

[feotakahari]

Oh.

I still hate it. :)

[forgottenjester]

I never thought the frog was funny either. In fact, his skits made me feel bad. However, I never had a problem with him being a mascot. *shrug*

[(Anonymous)]

ooookay. I can' wait for him to get to I Remember You. I'd love to see how he finds that episode hilarious.

[hands4healing]

The singing Frog is cruel, but a lot of the Looney Toon/Merrie Melodies characters are cruel. The frog, at least, doesn't drop anvils on someone else's head, or get them hit by cars, or run over by trains, or smashed by cannon balls, or shot by Elmer, or.

[(Anonymous)]

*blink* ...but that's slapstick. Not only that, it's animated slapstick. No animals were harmed during the making of these cartoons, etc.

Do you think humans doing slapstick is cruel? Because. If you think something that's totally safe (okay mostly) and harmless and meant to make you laugh because there are no dangerous consequences (due to your brain expecting it, then getting the shock reaction when it doesn't), is "cruel" then. Well. I really don't know what to say.

Okay I'm biased. I like slapstick, okay.

[hands4healing]

I never said I didn't like it. I associate a lot of classical music with Bugs Bunny, after all. I'm just saying, that as far as cruelty goes with the singing frog? He's kinda low on the list.

And, no, I actually don't like human slapstick very much. Jerry Lewis, John Ritter, myeh.

[mautradutor]

I'm not sure that it is on the frog because he dislikes, cruel, even with the "devil spawn" epithet. More I got the impression that they just find him annoying.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

No, the Frog in One Froggy Evening isn't cruel. The guy who thinks he's going to get rich off of something that sings just for him is comically greedy and sets up his own undoing. It's a modernization of a tale as old as Aesop, possibly also referencing a folk myth about frogs found entombed in rock.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a different kind a of cruel.

[(Anonymous)]

"Gradifying"?

[(Anonymous)]

Same anon here. I'm sorry. I'm being That Jerk, and I wish I hadn't.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

lolno, be my guest. I'm the first to admit I'm spellcheck dependent.

[(Anonymous)]

I adore and revere Chuck Jones' work to the point that I would have written a Master's Thesis on him, but I really do not care for "One Froggy Evening." And I have never understood why it's considered on par with "What's Opera Doc?" and "Duck Amuck." But I dislike a lot of things that critics seem to unanimously praise ("Pinocchio" is one of them) so I just chalk it up to "To each his/her own." :)

Eh, I liked him in Looney Toons.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought the whole thing in One Froggy Evening was funny. But I did not care for him as the WB mascot (although I remember commentaries about shows on the WB including things like "Fear the Frog!" and "Don't Fuck with the Frog!" which kind of amused me).

[(Anonymous)]

FFS THE FROG HAS A GODDAMNED NAME

IT'S

MOTHER

FUCKING

MICHIGAN J FROG

OP

[(Anonymous)]

... yes, and? I called it "the singing frog" because that's how Doug referred to it in the vlog.

[(Anonymous)]

I like him but i hate the roadrunner. I always felt sorry for the coyote.

[(Anonymous)]

Late - but if it makes you feel any better, you're supposed to. It was a pretty solid rule among WB's animators that audience sympathy was always to be with the coyote. That's probably why we never saw much from the road runner's perspective...and why he never got a name (that I can recall) or features as frequently as Wile E. does.
