The Monkey's Paw (episode)

**The Monkey's Paw,** is the first episode of the series *Anonymous Frog.* It focuses on the Frog making five wishes using the fabled Monkey's Paw.

## Synopsis

The Anonymous Frog has a monkey paw straight out of r/TheMonkeysPaw, and will make five wishes to benefit himself.

## Plot

The Anonymous Frog proceeds to show off a monkey's paw, having found it after sinking in the lake and hitting his head on a rock, with the paw located right next to it. He then proceeds to make five wishes using it.

### 1st wish:

The Frog's first wish is for water to always taste as good as when he is thirsty.

> Downsides:
>
>

* He's always thirsty, then gets diabetes, which he already has)
* Dying from hyponatremia (then explaining what it means.). He then proceeds to consume salt and dry up.
* Needing an infinite amount of water to survive.

After getting his wish, he gets out a straw and drinks the whole lake dry.

### 2nd wish:

His next wish is for World War 3 to start because someone stole his sandwich. There is only one downside.

* The Germans stole all the sandwiches and ate all the orange juice.

After making the wish, Frank Wurst shows up and steals the Frog's sandwich and orange juice, then flees.

#### 3rd wish:

With a war taking place, the Anonymous Frog takes cover in a trench. Wanting to escape, he wishes for the ability to fly.

> Downsides:
>
>

* Getting shot by the FBI
* Can't control altitude
* Someone sees him flying in the sky, records him, then posts it onto social media. The CIA and FBI see it, then proceed to arrest him at 3 AM, putting him through tests that end up killing him.

With his new flying powers, he escapes from the trench and back home, unaware that a government agent had followed him home and prepared to arrest him.

### 4th wish:

Now comfortable at home, the Frog proceeds to wish for a bowl of cereal.

> Downsides
>
>

* It's 4 and a half years old
* There's no milk
* Someone with a bowl of cereal will break in.

Aided with backup, the agent Jared Jones breaks into the house, knocks the Anonymous Frog unconscious, then arrests him.

The Frog wakes up in a box, unable to escape, only for Jared to attempt to dissect him.

#### 5th wish:

Exhausted from trying to dodge Jared's knife for 42 hours, the Frog makes his final wish, instantly teleporting home whenever he pushes the home button on his phone.

> Downsides
>
>

* Teleporting without his phone, wallet, or anything valuable.
* Teleporting into a children's hospital without his phone, then getting labelled a creep by the media. The Frog would then have to live in the woods.

The Frog then proceeds to push the home button on his phone and teleport into a hospital in the woods.

## Trivia

* This is the first Anonymous Frog episode.
* The Anonymous Frog's box reads *Rana volatus*. *Rana* being a genus of frogs, while *volatus* is Latin for flight.
* This video was turned into a YTP by the same creator, replacing most of the dialogue and objects with 'pingas'.

* This marks the first appearances of Frank Wurst and Jared and James Jones.
* James is bald and appears identical to Jared.

#### Errors

* Despite being classified as *Rana,* the Anonymous Frog is green, uncommon for that particular genus.
* Certain backdrops are drawn in a 4:3 ratio, whereas the video is widescreen. This is apparent when the Frog and Jared move past the pillarboxes.
* Out of all the posts, u/InsecureTalent is the only user to not have their name censored out. They posted the only downside to the second wish.
* On the same post, the word 'asses' also remains uncensored.
