That was the in craze over here about 10 years ago. You could get crazy frog ring tones and all that sort of shit. Generally drove "normal" folk ..er..crazy!

I Googled 'Crazy Frog' just to see what the hell it was.  This is the first time I've seen the thing.  Lucky for us, I guess.  The Wikipedia article said that the ringtone company spent 8 million pounds on 23,000 TV spots in one month alone.  I'm glad we missed it on this side of the pond.

But we have Billy Mays and Head-On.   :roll:

The funny thing about all those adverts was that they had to blank out the frogs dangley bits. Too rude for TV. In case you didn't realise, re-watch the above video. They're on full show.....if a little small.

Appropriately enough, it was titled "The Annoying Thing"

Thanks for the reminder.  I was at a hockey game recently and they played part of the video, but had to stop because play started again.  Now I don't have to google it :roll:
