Frog Baseball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frog Baseball was a cartoon short created by Mike Judge and was the first cartoon to feature Beavis and Butt-Head. It was originally made for Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. MTV picked up the short for their show Liquid Television.
[edit] Synopsis
Beavis and Butt-Head are outside blowing up insects when they spot a frog. The two scream "FROG BASEBALL!" and grab the creature while Butt-Head takes a baseball bat. Beavis then pitches the frog like a baseball to Butt-Head, who proceeds to miss three times. As Beavis is exclaiming "strike three", Butt-Head hits him on the head with the bat in frustration, throws the frog into the air himself, and hits the poor creature, apparently killing it. They then see a dog identified as "Mrs. Higgin's poodle", exclaim "DOG BASEBALL!", and proceed to pursue it, presumably intent on using it as a ball.
[edit] Trivia
- Judge got the idea for this cartoon from two kids talking about a game of Frog Baseball, which was apparently a twisted interpretation of the game played with a frog.
- The short was featured in "Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection Volume 3".
- A McDonalds could be seen in the backround when they find Mrs. Higgin's poodle, rather than a Burger World
