Hilarious when the lizard looks toward the camera for an instant when the music hits that brief rest! Hah!

OK, I had to Google "do frogs have teeth" to try to figure out how much that hurt.

You just made me remember this unsettling Sesame Street skit.

Frogs smash their food with their eyeballs. Two frog dissections in my public school education and that's what I remember.

Also not to eat cold Chef Boyardee for lunch on dissection day.

That there is a Pixie Frog, and they DO have teeth.... and a bulldog grip!

I wonder how long the frog would keep playing, before it figured out that it kept somehow not getting food in its mouth. Or does this work like cats and a laser pointer, where repeated failure just makes them all the more determined (and frustrated)?

I kinda felt bad for it, actually... Though the ending - sweet sweet revenge!

At the end, it didn't catch a bug, it caught a feature.

Just a tad too early - much better if they'd waited for Apple's next announcement.

Everyone knows the best platform for a frog is a lil' iPad.

Do not taunt the happy fun hungry frog.

Do not taunt the hungry frog
with bugs on a little screen
the hungry frog ain't playing, friend
you'll find out what i mean
you'll laugh and think it's funny
but you'll be proven dumb
when hungry frog gets desperate
and tries to eat your thumb

Great song, but you totally spoiled the ending of the video for me. I'm gonna go sulk with that video of a puppy watching wolves on youtube now.

i'll make it up to you, however i can
next vid that i post, i won't tell you the end
and i do hope that you can still call me your friend

YES! Thank you! That site is TERRIBLE.

Feed the frog first. Then maybe you will both enjoy the game more.

If blurted-out endings get on your last nerve,
don't read the comments before you observe.

To tell the truth, I'd seen that froggy before
And knew that the thumb-dude got what he deserved!
posted by moonmilk at 7:08 AM on September 16, 2012


"I know I've seen that frog before"
moonmilk was thinking to himself
"maybe down in Mexico,
or a picture upon somebody's shelf"

If this goes on much longer, my chums,
we're required to reference the plums:
the ones on the plate
I report that their fate
to be eaten like so many thumbs

Abraham: Do you bite my thumb at me, sir?

Froggy: No sir, I do not bite your thumb at you, sir, but I bite your thumb, sir.

Froggy eats one thumb at a time
The way that he clamps has no reason or rhyme
He eats the virtual ants and bugs
Now he thirsts for human blood

I paid a lot of money for some iPad apps for cats, games where your cat can chase and tap and watch things like bugs and butterflies and toy mice.

This naturally guaranteed that my cats have less than zero interest in these games. That's right: negative interest. If I turn on one of the games and hold my iPad up in front of either cat, they stalk away as if gravely offended that I would DARE.

Well, I spent a lot of money on some iPad apps for cats
There were some with little mice on, and some with great big rats
But when I showed to my kittens they just sneered at the screen
In all the years I've owned them I still don't know what they mean
were they Feline all those years
Purring away the time?
Are they gathering up the tears;
have they had enough of mine?

Is there a word for "outrageous laugher followed by immediate shame?" A word like schadenfreude, but also capturing the shame for laughing at what you did?

Because that totally just happened again for the Nth time while watching videos on the internet.

Sure:
Froschdaumenanbisslachanfall

(perhaps it's 'Abbiss'; we don't know how much of the thumb was re-usable after the attack)
