Do Frogs go on diets?

Apparently you can live a long time without food but after a certain point simply eating will no longer restore you.

Frogs are not exempt as far as I know :face_without_mouth:

I’ve never seen a waif (Stick skinny) Frog.

Is this who you were thinking of? Dr. Mandible?

Oh wait, this isn’t the SciFi Show Chat, my bad.

…and yes, I had to turn on CC to have any clue at all. :laughing:

I couldn’t watch for more than a few seconds. The mechanical voice gets at least one :-1: from me and further lowers my already sub-basement-level opinion of that type of lazy and soulless content creation.

I write that fully realizing that I’m not commenting in the relevant topic. :grin:

I suppose a carbuncle could affect a voice like that to ā€˜amuse’ his family and friends. Although everyone has limits I suppose. :grin:

I don’t mind those kinds of voices coming from things like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, because that’s what I expect in return when I talk to a smart speaker or display. It’s not what I expect from a video I’ve decided to view for entertainment or information value, though. I want that kind of content to be created by a human with a desire to communicate something meaningful to me or another audience, not generated ā€œslopā€ (a term I recently became aware of, though I didn’t watch this particular video long enough to learn whether or not it meets the definition).

I used to think my dream job would be doing voices for cartoons, but—as with many things—that’s probably best left to the professionals.

Full body voices are a joy to receive. God bless people. :slight_smile:

Yeah, I kept trying to find a short video clip of the real thing, but it seems like Disney must have gone really far out of their way to prevent people posting a short clip of their IP. I finally gave into this version because it clearly mentioned The character’s name was Dr. Mandible and showed some still frames of him at least.

I dig. I don’t blame you for trying to make a point. I was just piggybacking (frogbacking?) on the comment about turning on captions to understand the context.

Oh, I thought that’s because he needed a nerd word translator because he doesn’t understand fantasy sci-fi :joy:

That’s what I was thinking, too. My own issue isn’t with the nerd stuff but with the way the content is being generated and delivered. I agree with the wise (Wyzened?) peepeep:
