At work.
Well...... the 'Sting in the tale' as it were was that the 'Owner' inherits the troublesome amphibian with a possible inkling as to the truoble it might cause. When they finally 'Dispose' of said frustration there is a later scene of some new 'Rube' discovering said frog to which the veiwer surmises the shenanigans will begin anew.
Looking back.... I feel that the creators of said comedy might have been trying to poke fun at Mr Schrodinger's cat comment which would have been floating around somd circles as 'Brand new' at the time.
People fail to realise just how 'Well connected' the artists of that day realy were to the more esoteric things happening at the times.
Since, this is before such things as computer graphics, Government, Big Buisness and the various Military branches had to seek out such skilled artisans when they wanted to bring that extra 'Zing' to a big budget sales pitch.
Not to mention such things as training films etc.
I remember a tale where a group if artist were sequestered by the FBI (Or the CIA?) due to their cartoon of a target ending device seeming far too similar to the highly secret developments going on at the Manhattan project.
Yes.... people's sense of acceptable humor has changed.
No more Three Stooges or exploding Dafty Duck for ths kiddies now days.

They're a splendid idea to think about.
Quote:Now... if you'd be kind enough to supply a 'Better' example of 'Supernatural' than just stapling 'Frog and 'singing' together, that'd be great.
I'm sure you can come up with examples that are just as good. Just think of something which is well known, the limits of which are fairly obvious.
The point of course is that things as they exist are a certain way and not another. Your body is made of flesh and blood, not solid lead; it's human-sized, not a million miles long; it does human things, and not quasar things.
Quote:Thought... I thought perhapse you were trying for some humor referencing the old "Merry Melodies"/"Looney Tunes" cartoon for a while there.
Now that you mention it, I remember that cartoon! The frog sings and dances with a top hat, right? Maybe that was in my subconscious somehow when I thought of my example. Man, Saturday morning cartoons were fantastically important for me about 55 years ago. That and Batman twice a week.
As I recall, in the cartoon the frog refused to demonstrate his singing ability for anyone but his owner, right? Some people here would conclude from this that the singing ability never existed.
