Phrog is a deliberate misspelling of 'frog' that has become a cornerstone of surreal and cursed internet imagery. Often featuring the round, squeaky Desert Rain Frog or distorted ceramic statues, the meme thrives on anti-humor and a specific aesthetic of low-quality absurdity. It gained significant popularity around 2018 across platforms like Tumblr and Reddit, where the simple, bolded caption 'PHROG' was applied to images of frogs looking particularly judgmental or existential. Today, it serves as a versatile template for weird, chaotic, or minimalist jokes that embrace the bizarre nature of the internet's obsession with amphibians.
