The frogs selling their babies, which can be seen everywhere in China, have become a top trending video on Tiktok.

It is undeniable that the frogs selling babies have spread all over the streets and alleys of the country, and have become popular abroad through the Internet. Why are frogs selling babies so popular? The author reveals the secret for you in the article.

In 2023, from some unknown date, giant frogs suddenly appeared on the streets of China.

They always stare with their eyes wide open, their mouths half open, and their expressions of confusion and surprise seem as if they are curious about everything in this world.

According to information sent back by frontline reporters from various places through short video platforms, this army of frogs has a strong reproductive capacity and has quickly spread throughout China through the Internet.

01

Fortunately, they are not very aggressive and their only means of survival is selling their cubs.

Although their business is one that will wipe out their offspring, they are still deeply loved by humans.

If you encounter them on the street, people often stand at attention first, and then salute them with a full sense of ritual.

And the frogs will put aside their business and respond to this respect solemnly.

Thanks to the large number of Internet users in my country and the development of short video platforms, the frog salute culture has spread rapidly.

At this stage, the human-frog must salute at the same time, with hands and feet in unison, and in perfect timing, which is an interpretation of mutual respect.

But life is not just about the salute when you first meet someone. Sometimes, you also have to abide by local laws.

Fortunately, they usually have no malicious intent, but are sometimes too naughty and like to test the edge of excitement.

02

Even if the visitor is a police car full of special police officers.

When human protectors begin to cast aside their usual dignity and take the initiative to salute the frogs, it means one thing.

The Frog Army has become a top trend in China.

At a certain sports meeting, everyone's attention was not on Lingna Belle or Mickey Mouse, but on this frog that could stamp its feet and salute.

At this moment, it is the center of the universe and a popular idol.

Even on the Internet, there are many secondary creative pictures of frog babies for sale.

However, as this army of frogs grows larger and larger, competition among them is inevitable.

But the frogs do not choose to fight on the streets, but rely on singing and dancing rap to declare that this is their territory.

Sometimes they will fall in love for the first time, and when they see a beautiful woman, their legs and feet will become uncontrollable. Forget about life.

Occasionally, after all the cubs are sold out, these alien creatures will find time to get in touch with our unique culture.

Some frogs that integrated too quickly have already started leaning against the iron mountain.

Perhaps no one would have thought that this group of frogs, which only appear in China, has become popular abroad through the Internet.

How popular is it? Even the national treasure, the panda, may have to temporarily take second place.

04

A frog video taken by a passerby was uploaded to Tiktok and received likes from 15 million netizens around the world.

If you search with relevant tags, you will find that the number of views of the frogs' videos is in the millions.

According to everyone in the comment section, it is simply impossible to stop watching the Frog video.

Why do humans like these frogs so much?

When searching for the answer, I found that the prototype of this frog was actually the red toad spirit in Calabash Brothers.

If we like it so much because we have a sense of déjà vu, then for our foreign friends, this is probably not the reason.

The sudden popularity of the frog that sells its babies and the popularity of the sad frog may have similarities, both of which are due to the "sorrowful culture".

In the culture of mourning, young people prefer to use black humor to express emotions of sadness, grief and disappointment.

The sad frog resonates with young people because of its decadent and sad appearance, which fits everyone's real emotions in daily life.

With its sad image and various memes, the Sad Frog quickly became the spokesperson for "sorrowful culture".

If you look closely at the image of the frog selling its cubs, its empty eyes and numb expression seem to fit the culture of mourning.

In the comment section of the TikTok video, you can see that foreign friends are very concerned about the frog baby sales.

For example, in this video of the frog kicking its young away while saluting, everyone was discussing how the frog suddenly became sad...

In fact, its expression has not changed, but in that situation, people feel that it is sad.

Similarly, when the frogs escaped from the urban management and saluted the special police, they made all kinds of silly and funny movements under this unchanging "sorrowful" expression, which made people feel sad and funny.

This kind of "happiness in pessimism" culture of mourning inexplicably touches everyone and makes people unable to stop watching it. It is as attractive as a toilet plug.

The gradually abstract salute ▼

Whatever the real reason behind humanity's fascination with frogs, as mentioned at the beginning, the frogs have quickly spread across China.

Perhaps soon, frog cubs will appear in foreign lands, saluting passers-by on the streets.

A plan for frogs to occupy the earth has officially begun...
