Smug Frog

About

Smug Frog, also known as Smug Pepe, is a reaction image of a smug-looking frog based on an original cartoon illustration of Pepe, better known as Feels Good Man and Sad Frog, drawn by webcomic artist Matt Furie.

Origin

The oldest known archived post containing the original derivative (pictured below)^[1] can be dated back to June 2nd, 2011, to a thread on 4chan’s /tv/ (television and film) board, whose purpose was to make fun of the TV show’s Big Bang Theory humor.

Spread

The image had been used on 4chan throughout 2011 to 2013^[2]. However, in 2014 the image became used much more frequently than in the previous years, and numerous derivatives based off it had been spawned. Despite having a similar origin, Sad Frog and Smug Frog are often considered to be two different characters. While Sad Frog is often depicted as a friend or a companion of Wojak a.k.a. That Feel Guy, Smug Frog is shown to be abusive or antagonistic towards him.

Poo Poo Pee Pee Comics

Poo Poo Pee Pee is a name for a series of images and comics most commonly used in 4chan’s /r9k/ board. The comics depict Smug Frog committing various unethical acts, often towards Wojak, usually involving urine and/or feces. The comics were created as a reaction towards the usage of Pepe’s likeness in various mainstream social media sites like Twitter.
