the frog executives


What was up with the frog executives that worked for ocean breeze? Not only did their names rhyme, their behavior was recognizably abnormal. They sighed after making a decision, they talked like a computer, and they seemed to close to each other. Does anyone know why they did that?

Comic relief I guess

Here's what's even more interesting ---

Gil (the second male frog introduced) was voiced by Steve Whitmore, the puppeteer who ultimately took over the role of Kermit after Henson passed on.

And if you listen closely to Gil, his voice seems to bear a passing resemblance to what would later be his Kermit voice.

Funny, isn't it?

reply

Not funny... but now that you think about it you are right

They always hummed all the time too, Phil I'm Bill and this is Gil, Phil I'm Gil and this is Jill! 

It was an amusing way of contrasting the world that Kermit had entered after losing his memory. I thought those frog executives were so cute and funny. Cracked me up.

My daughter cracked me up about the executives.

"Frogs don't have ears."








Plotholes are like Bigfoot, people who claim to see them are just trying to stir things up.

lol when i was younger i thought that was strange that the frog had ears, i thought he was either a green human puppet or a frog with ears. 

reply

It was supposed to be funny that they all had rhyming names and talked like computers, etc. Henson used that sort of humor a lot.

reply

Were they ever on Sesame Street? For some reason I think I remember them on SS.

Oh, responded to me on my birthday, huh? As to your question, don't recall. Too bad they weren't in any other films, they were interesting.
