- 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: th-cam.com/video/QZjyWGDxydo/w-d-xo.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.
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
Hard to believe The WB was only 11 years old when it got merged with UPN to become The CW
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**
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.
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
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
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
2:03 While you’re watching this show and howling at the jokes, remember it’s been brought to you by those Saturn folks.
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 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.
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.
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
That voice. Now I want to hear Peter Griffin sing something.
Michigan J. Frog is talented at vaudeville acts, such as acrobatics, comedy, impersonation, magic tricks, but mostly song and dance.
WB had so many shows that didn’t work. Once they found their flow it was so good.
I always loved the WB. Michigan was the best mascot ever.
Absolutely love Michigan J. Frog.
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.
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
I’m here cuz they put Dave Chappelle on Netflix 😂😂😂😂😂
So many good memories with this channel
The WB forever Bring It back
That frog Always reminded me of pops
"John Witherspoon"
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. 🙂🙂🙂
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!
I miss this Network and the 90’s
Same here
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!!!

True
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.
God I miss that damn frog.
Me too
That Unhappily Ever After commercial was the first video where I saw Michigan J. Frog cry.
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
Bro! 2:17 is the coldest thing I've ever heard. Jeeeeez lmao
I really miss that cartoon frog.
Very nicely how you edited the videos, especially how you blend the opening teaser and the first promo
lol we used to call it the WB frog xD
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 TH-cam (MalachitheGreatWRLD) Ooh, i love the cw
Tahir Moore?
Zach Adam 😂yes
STAPPHH 😂😂😂
I stg that’s why I came here 😂💀😂
LOOOOL
😂
GOD I MISS THE 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too
TODAY IN 2020 IT'S THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY
I'm here from Chapelle but I saw this growing up.
Television in the 90's was great
No kidding
My dear friend, you're engrained into my head. That dance and song
Yeah
Yeah
maaaaaaaam-myyyyyyyyy!
I like chicken!
1:30 I think that's the original man who found Michigan J. in "One Froggy Evening" on the dollar bills
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
Incredible era
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!
I remember wb kids when was young
Damm I'm getting old!
I still remember that damm frof
Bring the WB back!!
The dubba dubba dubba dubbleyoubeeeeeeeee😂 good times

You Built Like The WB Frog. LMFAO
LOOL All def digital

Victor Leon DEAZY
No kidding
Hunted by the irs shit got real.
“What I can’t make fun of that little fuckin frog”
While you're watching this show and hollin' at the jokes, remember it's been brought you by those Saturn folks.
Will do
Miss this WB frog singing
Aww memories
I miss the WB 😩😩😩
Me too
You're not alone
“I like chhhhicken.. welcome back_______”
(Chappelle quote)
Who's Here After The Teen Titans Go! Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary episode Michigan was a funny villain
DAMN YOU MICHIGAN J. FROG AND YOUR INFECTIOUS SONGS
Happy 25th birthday to #TheWB!
#FandomLivesHere
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
You put the hip in chip!
The late 90s
all we need is the backlot ids (talent) with Barry Watson, Charisma Carpenter, Nicholas Brendon and others.. as well as their pre-Faces image campaigns (such as 1997's "Dubba Dance", the TCA '98 version, WB is Family, and Royal Crown Revue) as most WB stuff is hard to find.
So he used an almost-homophone for the word ‘ass’,
completely avoided the word ‘butt’,
and let the word ‘hell’ go through?
????
Androphobia
I love that frog
I was so sad as a kid when they got rid of the WB
I sure would like to sing like good old Michigan.
Sing it loud and strong.
I'd buy cable if TV was like this again.
FUNHAUS
How did he know I was wanted by the IRS?
3:41, Michigan J. Frog speaks from this commercial (not promo) and includes and additional logo
I miss the WB
4:24 Oh, shit! It's Chuck Jones!
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!
Uh dubba dubba dubba dubba dubba you bee!
Michigan J. Frog on the WB love when he does the dubba dubba dubba dubba WB
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
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
I love Michigan J and I always looked forward to spending my nights with him and loved the Wayans Bros Unhappily Ever Happier and loved loved looooved the old WB
Here because of ElectricDragon's history behind Michigan J. Frog.
Great Taste brought me here lmao
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!
1:57 Jazz hands
I miss my childhood
Gotta like the little green guy.
I will watch the WB 😵💫
cool and i miss the WB and kids WB as well.
so long.
Same
Agreed
This should come back
funny thing is i remember this from my childhood
It's too bad they dumped the frog. But I also miss that way the advertisements showed that way of trying to look like the behind the scenes studio work of the channel.
