CNTwo - The WB Frog Medley [1.0]

- UPDATE 2.0.VERSION: • CNTwo - The WB Frog Me...
Here's something I made for the 21st Anniversary of the then-defunct TV Network, The WB.
Michigan J. Frog, voiced by Jeff McCarthy, was the official mascot of The WB, a defunct broadcast television network, from its inception in 1995 until 2005.
The network's first night of programming on January 11, 1995, began with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck wondering which one of them would pull the switch to launch The WB. The camera then panned over to Chuck Jones drawing Michigan on an easel; when Jones finished, Michigan leaped from the drawing to formally launch The WB and lands on Chuck's shoulder who then says "What's Up Frog".
Michigan also would usually appear before the opening of shows, informing the viewer of the TV rating. Before the beginning of Savannah, for example, the frog would sing a short monologue suggesting that "there's more comedy for the family Wednesday nights" and that kids should go to bed, meaning that the show coming on would be for mature audiences only.
In later shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, the announcer would present a TV-PG disclaimer, though the frog still appeared as a neon sign.
And another thing, from my old vid I see a lot of comments that you saw it because of Dave Chapelle talked smack about Michigan J. Frog at the end of his "Zapped" skit from an episode of Comedy Central's Chapelle Show ( • wb frog dave chapell s... ), what makes it even funnier is that The WB stopped using the frog after the the skit was aired in 2005.
On July 22, 2005, Michigan's "death" was announced by WB Chairman ('03 - '06) Garth Ancier at a fall season preview with the terse statement:
"The frog is dead and buried." The head of programming for The WB, David Janollari, stated that "[Michigan] was a symbol that perpetuated the young teen feel of the network. That's not the image we [now] want to put out to our audience."
I think Michigan should deserved better...

WB Frog Medley 2.0: ruclips.net/video/QZjyWGDxydo/видео.html
I hope that The WB will return partnering with CBS and The CW (and other states like ABC and NBC) with the return of Kids' WB! (renaming WB Kids) and branding the BIG 3 Warner Networks! With new shows on The WB like The Cat 'n Bunny Warneroonie Virgeta Smurfy BIG Cartoony Show! (On WB Kids)
@@jennifermcbryde8887Me too,
"We're proud to present on the WB: another bad show that no one will SEEEEEeeeeeEEEEEE! Ugh, I need a drink..." -the Frog
Fox throwing shade at the WB is the ultimate example of the pot calling the kettle black after Disney bought 20th Century Fox and divorced it from Fox network.
I remember I grew up without cable The WB was all I had
Rucci Reacts me too
Me too it was great and upn in the 90s😊
It had Kids WB!
That's me too!
Ditto until my mom could afford it back in the 90s.
I’m Here Cause Of Dave Chappelle Is On Netflix Now 😭😂😭😂
Same
Me too lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just got here
What he cant make fun of that frog
Maaaaaaaammy! **audience groans**
1995-2006. Eleven years of great television.
The good days when tv had good on
Yeah
Nobody:
Michigan J Frog: Hey does your life suck? Tough shit, now watch some TV
Interesting marketing campaign, to say the least; can't say I was expecting it with how cheery the Kids WB promos are. But they both do share their trademark self-awareness
Who’s here in 2020? I’m 27 and remember this when I was little lol
Same here. I'm 32 as of this post. This channel was practically my childhood, especially WB Kids. I cried when I learned The WB was being replaced by The CW towards the end of the former's lifespan.
Ampchu I know! Cartoons just aren’t the same anymore. I miss the 90’s! 😔
I’m 52 and I love the froggy
@@Ampchu 1 year younger than me
24 and I remember this. I was a Kids WB kid
Chappelle show came to netflix and I know I'm not the only one who came here cuz of him
Lmaoooooo me too
Same lol
yesssss hahahaha
I LIKE CHICKEEEEEEEN
I just watched it, i couldn't stop laughing. I woke up everybody home.
Hard to believe The WB was only 11 years old when it got merged with UPN to become The CW
I remember being 5 or 6 on the floor eating dinner while waiting on the shows to come on. Thank God I got to experience the 90s
I'm here cuz of Dave Chappelle
Same here. Laughed my ass off but why is it racist? He always seemed more Frank Sinatra like or something to me.
Richard Hebenstreit I think because he seems reminiscent of the shucking and jiving of minstrel shows
'hello my baby' is an actual minstrel song from the 1800's
HAHA! I LOVE that Dave Chappelle bit... "Maaaannnn... F@#% that Frog..." LOL!!! :D
All of Daves Stand-Up and Comedy are the BEST!!!
SWERVE i have a t shirt of Michigan J frog
Ah man, how can I forget Michigan j. Frog, he is the best mascot on the WB. R.I.P. Chuck Jones❤️🙏🏽 btw I do remember this
I love how Michigan J Frog was chosen to be the mascot for the Wb channel and rightly feel so he feels like such a natural fit and a good one at that
With a singing voice like his, I wouldn't blame him.
R.I.P. Michigan J. Frog (1955-2006)
The Ledgends always die so young.
@Kendall Beaubian he’s still alive and singing
@Chris Williams that's a great deal
I miss Michigan J. Frog.
Me to I think we all do.
I miss Michigan J Frog as well.
@@omegamaximus1727 he was a cool mascot
esp Bugs bunny
Me Too! 🐸🎩
We all miss him.
2:03 While you’re watching this show and howling at the jokes, remember it’s been brought to you by those Saturn folks.
They need to bring back The WB! I miss it.
@Ace Red I really think that the CW sounds more like Cable Workshop. I like the WB better.
Dante Bentura The CW stands for CBS WB(Warner Brothers).

@@FilmBunny1091X I too thought this local network competed with the others.
Michigan J. Frog is talented at vaudeville acts, such as acrobatics, comedy, impersonation, magic tricks, but mostly song and dance.
Absolutely love Michigan J. Frog.
That voice. Now I want to hear Peter Griffin sing something.
I always loved the WB. Michigan was the best mascot ever.
WB had so many shows that didn’t work. Once they found their flow it was so good.
i am not of the era that this came out, someone just showed me a clip and i FELL IN LOVE with the humour it brings
Same here
So many good memories with this channel
I’m here cuz they put Dave Chappelle on Netflix 😂😂😂😂😂
0:54 how did they get away with that joke?
Damn i miss the wb epically kids wb.
actually said "as for" not asshole
Hollyweird
I miss the WB too
I never saw this before now. maybe they didn't get away with it LoL.
Why would it change to CW 11? But then we wouldn't get Supergirl and Flash.
I miss this Network and the 90’s
Same here
the WB was honestly an exciting, and very nostalgic memory especially for the Kids WB block lol. 😂❤️
Very Nostalgic indeed.
I couldn't agree more. 🙂🙂🙂
The WB forever Bring It back
1:07 thats the song that i lookin for!
Warner Brothers need to bring back Michigan J Frog.
That’s right, he didn’t even came back, in the looney tunes show.
After Dave Chappelle had that frog in black face, they did damage control quick.
He’s back! He’ll be in World of Mayhem today!
That frog Always reminded me of pops
"John Witherspoon"
I love that Michigan J Frog! 😞😞😞💓💓💓💓💓💓💔💔💔💞💕🎶🎵👸🙍🙍🙍💘💘💘❤💜💙💚💛 I LOVE YOU MR. MICHIGAN FROG: YOU HAVE THE MOST AMAZING OPERA VOICE IN ALL AMERICAN HISTORY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

Tahir Moore?
Zach Adam 😂yes
STAPPHH 😂😂😂
I stg that’s why I came here 😂💀😂
LOOOOL
😂
Bro! 2:17 is the coldest thing I've ever heard. Jeeeeez lmao
I have a preposition for CN. I want them to reintroduce WB kids with all their old shows and advertisements like this too. I know boomerang exists but that’s manly for older 60s cartoons, shows based on existing ip, and sonic boom. But this can show the kids of today how great old shows were
“What I can’t make fun of that little fuckin frog”
I love that frog 🤩🐸 he can sure can sing
“I like chhhhicken.. welcome back_______”
(Chappelle quote)
Very nicely how you edited the videos, especially how you blend the opening teaser and the first promo
How did you find the opening version of the Michigan rag on the wb
You Built Like The WB Frog. LMFAO
LOOL All def digital
Tahir lol
Victor Leon DEAZY
No kidding
I really miss that cartoon frog.
Television in the 90's was great
No kidding
That Unhappily Ever After commercial was the first video where I saw Michigan J. Frog cry.
I don’t think I truly got to know who Michigan J Frog was until I started watching The WB back in the late 90’s. He was the mascot to my middle school years. I don’t think the WB would have been what it was without him. It’s too bad he didn’t make the transition to the CW back in 2006!
@The Kid Who Loves RUclips (MalachitheGreatWRLD) Ooh, i love the cw
GOD I MISS THE 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too
1:30 I think that's the original man who found Michigan J. in "One Froggy Evening" on the dollar bills
Now that's the rarest of all Pepe the frogs
That's Michigan J. Frog. And Pepe is a very romantic skunk.
@@lisettegarcia7013 Yeah, but he’s not the only Pepe. There’s a king prawn Pepe, a frog Pepe, there’s a lot of Pepes!
Hunted by the irs shit got real.
My dear friend, you're engrained into my head. That dance and song
Yeah
Yeah
So he used an almost-homophone for the word ‘ass’,
completely avoided the word ‘butt’,
and let the word ‘hell’ go through?
????
Androphobia
Incredible era
This video was pretty sweet. But, I wonder who was the voice of Michigan J frog? I actually remember these jingles as a teenager. Thanks for bringing back my childhood memories.
Shut down for good. Sorry everyone. Jeff McCarthy also voiced Michigan J. Frog in the 1995 sequel Another Froggy Evening
Jeff McCarthy. He's a Broadway Actor. I just got to see him in a fantastic production of Sweeney Todd.
No! The WB was Completely Shutdown in 2006 not 2005 The WB and UPN (United Paramount Network) was Replaced by The CW on September 18, 2006.
@@TracyGJacksonTV Grand, just grand
Bring the WB back!!
maaaaaaaam-myyyyyyyyy!
I like chicken!
lol we used to call it the WB frog xD
I miss the WB 😩😩😩
Me too
You're not alone
I'm here from Chapelle but I saw this growing up.
The dubba dubba dubba dubbleyoubeeeeeeeee😂 good times
That’s the WB
Happy 25th birthday to #TheWB!
#FandomLivesHere
1:08 is the theme of WBD in the 2020s
I remember that dancing and singing frog really well but I never saw this channel before and it was only available in America because I live in Ireland 🇮🇪 and I was born in the same country.
Anyway they look very interesting.
@MalachitheGreatWRLD Wow
TODAY IN 2020 IT'S THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY
While you're watching this show and hollin' at the jokes, remember it's been brought you by those Saturn folks.
Will do
The late 90s
Miss this WB frog singing
Welcome back N@#%** to the WB!! I LIKE CHICKEN!!
Lmao
Watch the frog!
I was born in 72 and now 44. Up untill now I only knew of two cartoons involving Michigan. I love this frog! But I'm seeing a bunch of you tube videos of stuff I have never seen before. Do you mean to tell me there's newer cartoons of him up untill the mid 2000's? How did I manage to miss those! I had no idea newer cartoons of him were made last the seventies!
Correction: I had no idea newer cartoons of him were made PAST the seventies! Please explain, because I had no idea!
@@haleymay1119 No duh
DAMN YOU MICHIGAN J. FROG AND YOUR INFECTIOUS SONGS
Aww memories
Damm I'm getting old!
I still remember that damm frof
Who's Here After The Teen Titans Go! Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary episode Michigan was a funny villain
I remember wb kids when was young
Great Taste brought me here lmao
I love that frog
FUNHAUS
4:24 Oh, shit! It's Chuck Jones!
This song randomly enters my head and I'll start off humming then I'm in full song seconds later. Especially in the shower. WWWWBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB.
Yeah!
1:38 1:39 Everybody wants the W
Wb 38 New Orleans! I miss those days!
Channel 38❤ 26ABC you ever use to watch Mamas Family?
@@brandonellis8111 nah,I was too little then,I watched Pokémon and the other shows on Kids WB!
You put the hip in chip!
I miss the WB
I was so sad as a kid when they got rid of the WB
Gotta like the little green guy.
Sing it loud and strong.
It used to be so fun to watch tv back then
How did he know I was wanted by the IRS?
You missed the parental advisory for The Steve Harvey Show and Jamie Foxx show.
"Though you might like these next two shows they're not for little eyes to see. All you parents please take note they're TVPG!"
Link?
If you make another video, title it More WB Frog Medley, because I’d like to hear other sponsor jingles and commercials, if you’ve got them archived.
WB use to have so many black sitcoms back in the day.
Those types of shows went from the mainstream three networks and Fox to UPN and the WB pretty quickly as I recall.
cool and i miss the WB and kids WB as well.
so long.
Same
Agreed
3:41, Michigan J. Frog speaks from this commercial (not promo) and includes and additional logo
I sure would like to sing like good old Michigan.
If there are any more sponsor songs Michigan sings, can you post them all in one long video?
Uh dubba dubba dubba dubba dubba you bee!
This has been a production of...
columbia pictures television
@Fabian Robles which wb station
@Fabian Robles where do you live
@Fabian Robles to see what channel is the wb in your city
That is been used to show the production company logo like Warner Bros. Television
Please bring back the WB! TV sucks without it nowadays!
PBS Funding Addict now we got that boring CW
But, at least there’s channels like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network(especially due to September 2021), and Disney’s three different TV channels still available here in the U.S.
Agreed
@@javianwilliams7463 They all suck now and are not nearly what they use to be in their heyday
I will watch the WB 😵💫
