We had a guy in the office that had the ringtone.
It played once, we took the mickey out of him completely and the ringtone disappered instantly.

It bugs me sensless as well

Is it irritating anybody else, or is it just me :-|

If there's anyone out there who doesn't despise it with a passion then they surely deserve a most painful and gory death. Their remains should then be force-fed to whichever sicko came up with the damn thing, before he then gets put through the same process.

(In case anyone isn't sure, no I'm not a fan of the frog... )

*bleepbleepbleepbleepbleep*
That's all I hafta say about that!

I wouldn't mind but the sound clip in question, which I have had for several years on my PC, has bugger-all to do with frogs!

This is like deja vu, as the last time I saw the ad this evening I was thinking how annoying it was and that I was surprised nobody had posted about it yet.

At least for the time being they've stopped playing that "little bird" one which was getting more irritating than the frog.

I can't believe the Axel F theme has been mixed with it though

I pity anyone I find with the ringtone if I've had a bad day

The frog and chick and whatever else needs shooting - enough said!

Argh, it's so annoying! I thought the chick was tolerable, but that frog has no purpose in this world except to make everyone ticked off!!

Although there is a more serious side to it all, with all these kids signing up for these tone things and getting ripped off. I bought a background out of Kerrang a few months back and I paid something like £8 in the end, I'm not doing that one again!

The fact that my four year old daughter finds the frog hilarious speaks volumes...

I hate all of them, the frog, the chick and the bloody dragon with equal venom

No idea who thought up the crappy frog, but the sound byte is actually from skit;
Ferrari's experimetation with outsourcing to India.
Started doing the rounds back in late 2002.
Starts with a bloke explaining that Ferrari had decided to outsource.
You then hear the sound of an F1 ferrari revving up.
Then you hear the outsourced version - which is now the frog ringtone....

It was kind of a modernisation of the old peter sellers/goon show Put-Put Ding-Ding skit....

The frog just drives me up the wall, but that what remote controls are for

Well, the chick's cute in extreme moderation, but that *@%#ing frog tempts me to commit massive amounts of GBH... the dragon's slightly annoying but I haven't seen all that much of it (lucky, huh?).

And that new frog tone is a blasphemous travesty of the Beverly Hills Cop theme!

Grr, and indeed, arrg!

And now they've censored it which is too funny! I thought it was its belly button....

They haven't censored it in France though, are the French less easily offended or are we just more dirty minded?

I didn't know the exact origin. But, yes, I was supposed to be of someone mimmicking a formula 1 engine.

Another hater here too...And it is creeping onto terrestial too!

I've yet to hear *anyone* who has any of the frog/chick/dragon tones on their mobiles. Which probably goes to my theory that only Chavs would find them amusing.

So, yes, these adverts also make me want to put me foot through my (new widesreen) TV

One of my friends has the sweety background, and yes she wears Burberry.

The frog is damned annoying, but the chick hasn't got to the overkill stage. Yet...

Most of us could probably come up with something better on our home computers.

Hmm, that gives me an idea......

One guy in the barbers a month or three ago had the frog on his phone - what a good thing I wasn't in range to grab the barber's scissors and/or other sharp pointy things...
