- Welcome to the Ugly Frog Tier List.
For the goal is to be ugly.
The uglier, the frog, the higher on the list.
I've compiled the ugliest frogs I could find.
So let's begin. Shall we?
Starting with the Adelphus frog,
It's from South America.
And I just think it's pretty crazy that a frog like this
actually just like exists out in nature.
I don't think it's very ugly
but we did need a starting point.
So he'll just kind of go about in the center at C
to get us kicked off.
But then we go straight to the desert rain frog.
This one's from Africa.
You might have seen it before.
And I just think it's insane
that we've had like 3 billion years
of evolution and this still exists, somehow.
And I hope we could agree it's pretty objectively ugly.
In fact, I don't wanna put it too high early on
in case we get some really ugly stuff
but we can move stuff around.
So for the time being, the black rain frog will be at A
but now we go to the desert rain frog,
which I'm sure you've seen
because well, we've all seen this video.
I think it's safe to assume
we all have since this has 23 million views.
And I actually think it's kind of cute,
and then it screams, and that's a really hideous scream.
(frog screaming)
So on the cute scale, I put it at like D 'cause I like it,
but it sounds hideous.
So for that reason it's going to B.
But then again, the desert rain frog
is kind of like the more popular brother
of the black rain frog, 'cause they're pretty related.
Maybe it should-
I'm gonna leave it a B
and we'll continue on to the hairy frog.
I hate looking at this.
In fact, I'm gonna look at the camera
'cause it's actually hideous.
(frog screaming)
Now the thing is I was gonna put this at like S tier,
but then while I was researching this frog
which, what did I learn about it?
I learned absolutely thing.
I took no notes on the hairy frog
but I did discover the hairy frog fish,
which I guess it's based on- I don't.
All right.
Well, this one makes the hairy frog
actually look quite desirable.
So for that reason, it's only going to A,
when otherwise I would've put it in S tier.
Then there's the cool, the doll frog,
I don't know how to say its name.
I feel like it has all the characteristics of a cute frog,
but then you Google them
and you get this absolute abomination,
which kind of disturbed me at first glance.
It's but literally scares predators away,
But we're not rating them on their butt,
we're rating them on their overall appearance.
And I actually think it's really cute,
which means it goes to D tier,
'cause that's not what we're looking for today.
But you gotta prepare yourself for the next one, okay?
'cause we've got the Indian balloon frog.
Which I think I've seen pictures of all the previous ones
at some point in my life
but I have never seen an Indian balloon frog.
And if I have, I guess I just have memory loss
from how traumatic the experience was.
It actually reminds me of this.
This is the first thing I thought of.
Yeah. First S of the day.
Good job.
Indian balloon frog.
You're pretty dang ugly.
And then we have the purple frog,
which now that I think of it
maybe I put the balloon frog a bit too high.
Because when you Google ugliest frog,
Google automatically gives you a popup
to the Wikipedia article to the purple frog.
Like imagine the people Google ugliest human,
and Google auto suggests a Wikipedia article of you,
just dedicated to how ugly you are.
But the thing is I read this entire- I didn't read it.
I did control F and then put in ugly.
The word ugly is not stated anywhere in this entire article.
There is a reference with the word ugly,
called the eight ugly animals we should save anyway.
But no way.
I don't know why,
how Google ended up auto-recommending this,
but I feel so much pity for it
that I don't wanna put it at S,
but then again it is actually pretty horrific to look at.
So he's joining our friend the balloon frog at S.
But I think of it,
I feel like we need something higher than S
because we've already got a lot of competition,
and we're only at number seven.
'Cause now we've got the shovel-headed tray frog.
Which has quite the snus going on.
I think I'm, I really don't feel
like doing an actually good Photoshop job
but I'm just curious if it would look cute
without the nose. Okay.
Honestly, this already looks better.
Yep.
Even like this, it looks more desirable.
(soft chuckles)
I don't know where to put it,
because it needs some extra points.
'Cause the reason they have this nose apparently,
is they find trees with holes.
They shove their bodies into the holes,
and then they use their bony little snus to plug the hole
so that nobody can get to them.
They literally stick their nose in the hole.
But it's not the ugliest.
I wish it could be at the top
just for that cool fun fact about shovel-headed tree frogs.
But it's gone today because it's not a purple frog.
Our ninth frog is the Surinam, it's not a frog.
It's a toad.
Our ninth animal is the Surinam toad, which is actually,
I don't know.
It's kind of cute in a way,
that is until you see the video
that I'm about to show you.
If you have that whole phobia chip def phobia,
skip to this timestamp,
'cause you have to prepare yourself
for what we're about to see.
This is the Surinam toad shooting out its children.
I'm not even bothered by the whole stuff,
but this just makes me so uncomfortable.
I don't know why.
All right.
That's enough of that.
Well, you get the idea.
Anyway, because of that.
Just because of that alone,
it could have been the cutest frog known to man.
It's still going into us here,
because I hate that I've seen that.
But at least you've seen it as well.
Unless you skip to this timestamp
in which case you're missing out.
No, you're really not missing out.
Anyway, moving on to the flying frog.
Now thing about this.
There's a bizarre number of articles about ugly frogs.
And this one oftentimes is on the list.
But I think it's just
because it's such an unflattering image.
Like this is a mid action shot,
where like you're not going to look your best.
Because if I just saw this image alone,
I'm like, wow, that's pretty disgusting looking.
It's going into A tier.
But then they're actually kind of cute,
like in just normal pictures.
So I'm actually gonna put them in D tier.
Cause I think they're a cute frog.
It's is literally just an unflattering photo.
What frog, wouldn't look like that when they're mid jump.
It's just kind of unfair.
It's a little bit slanderous.
And then we've got the waxy monkey tree frog.
Now the thing about this frog, as I was playing around,
and I realized if you just kind of like cover this up,
(epic music playing)
it's a pretty cute frog.
It's got some, it's a little chubby.
It's got some weight on it.
It's a little silly-looking.
But it doesn't look that bad.
But then you see the chubby bunny forehead going on,
and that's really what sets it apart on the ugly scale.
So I would put it,
at like C tier without the weird head blobs.
But since he's got them, he's gonna go with B,
with our friend, the desert rain frog.
(frog screaming)
At number 12, we have the Titicoco frog.
I did make sure I'm pronouncing it correctly.
And it's from Titicoco Lake.
(softly chuckling)
I don't wanna say anything else about him.
He's just gonna go up here, okay?
Please don't ask any questions.
The Pacman frog comes up frequently for ugly frog.
But to me it's not ugly at all.
But that might just be because I'm so used to seeing it.
So I feel like I might have a skewed perspective.
'Cause I think,
like I don't really think they're cute or ugly.
They're just kind of,
they're cool. They're neat.
So I would put it at like D.
But I feel like the average person
would put it like B or something.
But the more I think- I guess they are actually
kind of ugly, especially depending on the angle.
So I think I'm gonna slap them at C
with our friend, the Adelphus frog,
who I had to look on my notes
'cause I forgot the name of it.
Anyway, we've got the Indian bull frog.
I actually think it looks pretty cool.
It's considered one of the ugliest frogs, but I don't know.
It's kind of just unique.
So he's going to C as well.
And you know what? He's going to D.
I like him.
Don't know, the Mosy frog.
I don't know who would consider this ugly.
I think it's pretty cute.
Though, I guess the bumps are a little bit jarring,
especially whatever that is down there.
Like some of the bumps are kind of weird.
But I think this is the cutest frog on the list yet.
So I'm gonna put him in F.
He's gonna be our first F tier,
which depending on how you look at it might be a compliment.
Even if it's not the goal of this video.
We have the Darwin's frog.
Something about just makes me uncomfortable.
It doesn't at least have the shovel-headed nose
but I don't like how pointing angular it is.
It's just personal preference though.
I could see this one going over the chart.
Personally, I think it's quite ugly
but not quite like Titicoco ugly,
which I wish I didn't see that again.
So it's gonna go to B.
And then we have the Goliath frog,
which I think is the largest frog.
When you Google them,
it's mostly just small African children holding them.
I can't tell if they're dead or alive.
I don't know if they're a food source.
I don't know if they're like.
My guess would be,
they probably wreak havoc on a lot of stuff.
Cause think about like how much damage
a small frog or toad does.
Not in a bad way but just like how much it can eat.
How much a toad when it burrows, how much it digs.
I don't even know what's going on with a Goliath frog.
All I know is he is actually kind of cool looking.
I feel like as the Gen Z's would say,
(bright upbeat music)
he's just vibing.
I'm not can appreciate that.
He's just chilling.
He's just hanging out.
I don't think it's that ugly.
It's massive.
But I think that's kind of a cool factor.
So he's going to D.
And finally, to finish us off with number 18,
we have the turtle frog.
Which is one of the most disgusting abominations
I've ever seen.
I think, I feel like I've seen this
on like a lot of discord profile pictures.
The face alone, you know what? I'm wrong.
I was gonna say the face alone is kind of cute.
It's just the body not doing it justice.
But kind of none of it does any of it justice.
And I kind of like it, but kind of hate.
I don't even know if I could keep one.
Like if there was one in my-
I don't think I'd be able to eat in my office.
Cause I think I'd throw up every time I look at it.
But at the same time, I'd go kinda like, ah,
and then I'd throw.
I don't know what I'm saying,
but I don't know where to put this one,
because it is kind of so cute, but so ugly
that you know what, all right, this is what I'm gonna do.
It is so cute.
It's going here.
It's also so ugly that it's gonna go up here.
It's the bread to our ugly tier sandwich.
It is so cute and so ugly.
It makes it at the top and the bottom.
And with that, that concludes my Ugly Frog Tier List.
Quick recap.
At the top, we've got got the balloon,
the purple, the, the Surinam, Mozo.
I don't remember what that one was,
but we all know why with that one.
And the turtle frog.
There's quite a few down the center
but let me know what you think of my ratings
and where I'm wrong.
And if you, for some reason enjoyed this,
I can tier some other stuff.
Just let me know.
I've done one other tier list video.
You wanna check that out?
But in the meantime,
well, I don't personally have any ugly frogs here for sale.
I did recently post some animals on Emerald scale.
So if you're looking to pick something up
you can check 'em out, at remotescales.com.
I still don't have my Instagram back,
so I still can't really promote them.
But that's that if you wanna check them out.
But I appreciate you indulging
in my Ugly Frog Tier list, that'll be for this video.
I'm Alex, and thanks for watching.
