Default Where did the crazy frog thing come from?

I first heard this about 3 years ago but don't know who originally created it. Anyone know?

I don't know but every time I see that advert (usually twice in one ad break) I want to kick the TV in.

Are there honestly people who have this on their phone and think it's funny?

Google "insanity test" - that was were I remember it first from and as above with pic of MS's Ferrari. And must be 2 or 3 years ago I first got it on email....and don't forget "Hamster Dance" is on its way - and that's even older.

I remember the original insanity test one. It was amusing. This is a VERY overplayed (i mean come on, even once a break would be enough), ripoff. I bet the person who made the original got ****all.


I know someone on this board that has the tone!!! He shamelessly turned up at a recent worcs meet with it on.. Kept the kids amused but made us wanna chuck his phone in the carvery!

Heard the dance version this morning, a lot better.

Yeah...MTV Germany have been showing almost every 2nd advert (previous ad being a ringtone ad)

I should complain to the ITC about the frog showing it's genitalia and get it pulled off air

Did a search on DANIEL MALMEDAHL and found
that he he didn't actually make that sound as a joke at first, but as a serious attempt to imitate the 2-stroke engine of a moped of his.

I just hope he is getting some of the money Jamba must be making from the ringtone.

I read this week that the guy who actually sold it to Jamba wasn't responsible for creating the original.

The original was received through an email from a fellow countryman and was then adapted by the guy who has got the recognition for it. It's name was the "Annoying Thing" or something similar, and then Jamba marketed it as "Crazy frog".

To date it has grossed £10 million according to where I read it, which escapes me for now.
