The short that started it all

[grant.mclellan · 20 October 2000]

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.

Awesome introduction!

This pilot to Beavis and Butt-head is a awesome introduction to the characters and for what we're in for throughout the duration of the show. The plot goes as follows: Beavis and Butt-head are exploding insects with firecrackers before both noticing a frog and yelling "FROG BASEBALL!!!", they both run up to it and start to play baseball but with a frog instead of a ball. They play until the frog is no more, but then they notice a dog and yell "DOG BASEBALL!!!!!" and that's where it ends. If it sounds like a great introduction to the characters and their antics that's because it is and not to mention, they are as hilarious as ever here.

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.

Beavis and Butt-Head's big debut!

[dootuss · 30 January 2002]

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!

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!
