Revision as of 09:13, 24 April 2010
Hypnotoad is a large toad-like creature that has large oscillating multicolored eyes and emits a droning hum. The toad apparently uses these as a power of hypnotism on surrounding people and animals.[1] Hypnotoad hypnotizes sheep into a pen at a pet contest and then hypnotizes the judges and the audience into awarding it first prize. (see clip below).
Description
It is a rather large frog with eyes that put anything that looks into them into a hypnotic trance, forcing them to do what ever the Hypnotoad wants.
Origins
The origins of Hypnotoad are unknown, but it is speculated that it is an alien, mutant or a product of genetic engineering. It would also appear that it is the only one of its kind on Earth. However, it is possible that a creature similar in design to the Hypnotoad found on Kif's homeworld is part of its ancestry.[2]
Hypnotoad also has its own television show called "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad". It consists of a stationary camera filming the Hypnotoad and its noise continuously. Despite the odd premise behind the show, it ran successfully for over three seasons, possibly because it hypnotises the audience.
Trivia
- The sound he makes is a recording of a turbine engine played backwards. [3]
- The sound was originally a temp, but it was 'so wrong it had to be used'. The name of the sound effect is 'Angry Machine'.
- Hypnotoad is one of Matt Groening's favorite characters.[4]
- The line "ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!" used by the judge of the animal show has became an internet sensation and is used on many Hypnotoad video clips and images.
- There is an iPhone application called Hypnotoad in which you can change the colour of the Hypnotoad, watch him as long as you like, get told how much time you have spent watching the hypnotoad and if you shake your iPhone/iPod Touch a voiceover says "All Glory To The Hypnotoad."
- He made a cameo appearence in the trailer for "Bender's Big Score" where he said "Buy it, Buy it, Buy it, Buy it."
