Frog Baseball (1992) Reviews

• The short that started it all

  As some people know this was the animated short that introduced the world to the antics of Beavis And Butt-Head. Despite it's short length (it's only about 3-4 minutes long), it is very funny. One more thing... did you know that "Frog Baseball" was created for the animation showcase show "Liquid Television"

• The Big Debut (heh,heh....he said "big")

  Anybody with a twisted sense of humour will appreciate Mike Judge's first installment of Beavis & Butthead. The plot:B&B are two VERY stupid teens from Texas who find a frog & decide to play a sadistic game of baseball with it. No big surprise:the frog croaks (oooh!---bad joke). This animated short (only about three minutes)would start a trend that would eventually spiral into a pop culture icon in the 1990's. This twisted little short has been featured in several animated anthologies,and is also featured on one of the Beavis & Butthead video compilations. No rating,but contains some pretty violent (and gross)images. Not for the little ones.

• Beavis and Butt-Head's big debut!

  I remember seeing this on "Liquid Television" about 9 years ago. It was funny! I really would like to see it again! Beavis and Butt-Head are funny! And this short introduced us to those 2 moronic teens that we grew to love! This short rules! Long live Beavis and Butt-Head! Huh, Huh, Huh!

• Hilarious short!

  I have seen FROG BASEBALL a couple times now and everytime it makes me laugh more and more than I did the last time I watched it. I have seen a lot of shorts, but this is the best [and funniest] one I have ever seen. Mike Judge did a fantastic job with this fun and hilarious short.

• Batter up, dude.

  This is it, dudes. This is the one that started it all. This is when the world met Beavis and Butt-head. Inbred Jed's Homemade Cartoons proudly presents (and what a frightening face you've got, Jed)... Beavis and Butt-head in Frog Baseball! We are introduced to our two heroes, Beavis, the blond haired one with the pointy nose and the blue Metallica shirt, and Butt-head, the brown haired one with the big nose and gray AC/DC shirt, and that's about it. After an uneventful morning of bad TV, they go out to the field where Beavis tries lighting a dragonfly on fire, which makes it spontaneously combust for some reason. When they grow tired of this, they discover a frog and decide to play a game of "frog baseball." How do you play? Well, it's exactly like baseball, only instead of a ball, you use a frog. Fortunately for the frog, Butt-head gets three strikes, and a fourth to Beavis's head, calling it "ball." On his next attempt, Butt-head hits the poor frog, and that was the end of the game. They see a neighbor's poodle and decide to play a game of "dog baseball." How do you play? Don't ask. So, this is the pilot to Beavis and Butt-head. Final verdict? Well, besides some sloppy animation, it's okay for what it is. The content is very disturbing, so if you love animals, particularly frogs and dogs, I wouldn't recommend it, but Beavis and Butt-head fans should definitely see it if they want to know how the dim-witted duo came about. And by the way, don't try this at home!
