SCP-5457 The Republic of Under-Frogia

Dr Bob brings you SCP Foundation EUCLID Class object, SCP-5457 The Republic of Under-Frogia Animation.
Join the DR BOB SQUAD by going to / drbob and become an Honorary Member of the Dr. Bob Research Staff!
SCP-5457 refers to a population of approximately 23,000 sapient anthropomorphic beings living in a vast system of partially flooded underground caves and tunnels, located under and around lake Grenouilleau in France.
SCP 5457 instances bear resemblance to amphibians of the anura order. Instances are on average 1.50m tall, bipedal, have varying body shapes, and display different skin colours and patterns.
SCP5457 instances are capable of secreting a toxic mucus, the quantity and potency of which is influenced by an instance's health.
SCP-5457 are terrified of French people, who they believe would hunt and eat them if they were discovered.

[@lakegroce685]

I never realized that frogs have a natural fear and distrust of the French. If that’s the case, they all should have had British accents.

[@Justin.Franks]

German accents would work too.

[@SirsasthNigam.]

any country who ever fought French would work

[@skepticalmagos_101]

Vietnemese and any west african would do too.

[@normalwood7965]

Oi bruv innit?

[@marshalljarnagin9370]

But they live inside of France. What other humans would they so consistently encounter?

[@MTdaVoid]

The fact that the frog-folk live under a lake literally named Frog Water is pretty funny, the fact that containment requires fostering French stereotypes is hilarious!

[@Crimsonlupus]

This is honestly one of the funniest scps I’ve seen so far

[@___idk]

[@SCP_1471_TTV]

Very Nice touch on the French pronouncation. The French even in frog form are always trying to revolutionize

[@leoguezellou8827]

Oh wow, thanks for covering my first ever SCP article! The inspiration behind this was that I wanted to make fun of a French stereotype that I find exaggerated, being French myself. Intitially, the article only contained the account of Martin's capture and then a long and boring overview of SCP-5457's culture and society. Someone pointed out there wasn't much of a story, so I decided to rework it. I thought "well, if they are so scared of being eaten, then I guess I need to follow up on that. But why would someone eat one of them? Memetic compulsion? No, that's boring, it has to be a conscious choice." And that's how Duvarier ended up being a Foundation agent that is willing to go to great lengths for her duty.

[@electricofff]

Nice work there bud!

[@jonasholm-mw5bn]

If you want to continue on the story you could check out the Danish children’s book Freddy frogface. It’s about a bully who swallows a frog alive. There’s also an animated movie about it

[@OmarMohamed-xw3nt]

That is such an amazing tale lol. Like its messed up, but simultaneously hilarious. Had to give it a read after watching the video.

[@LadyMysanthrope]

Really fun SCP and you sharing the process of you creating it was great! Thank you for the fun

[@daviddavidson2357]

Great story. However. The foundation once again handled it wrong. They could have staged some sort of incident (dangerous cargo spillage for example) that supposedly renders an area uninhabitable somewhere in the middle of a huge forest and allowed them to move there if they wished. Though the foundation always handles things poorly, which makes it a good story.

[@sarojolibois6088]

As a french, this scp is hilarious. I had a couple of frog legs in my life, it's kinda like chicken, quite fat as it's usually fried or cooked with butter and garlic. But it's definitely not a common dish.

[@opeeate]

yeah I've tried them as well. you're spot on. I thought it tasted like chicken that's been prechewed and had most of they taste removed. it isn't anything to get excited about apart from what a waste of a poor critters life.

[@WolfA4]

I salute you for doing your duty to keep the frog people in check.

[@sarojolibois6088]

@@opeeate I feel ya, if it makes you feel any better just know frog legs started to appear on the plate in periods of famine and war economy. Nowadays very few people actually eat frog legs, and most of the time it's a "it's been ages since I had that" kind of dish.

[@zeedeejay242]

There is precedence of these frog folk in French lore around that area...

[@Dragonkitty256]

I’ll be honest, I thought they would taste like rubber.

[@kevincass9917]

This was such a great story! Poor Michelle and Sgt. Duvall. I understand the need to keep them under cover so they don't potentially get hurt by humans, but I feel like there might've been an easier way to make this work. Maybe by cordoning off the lake under the guise of a government environmental task force sent to study the effects of climate change or whatever, they could have a large perimeter where the denizens of Under-Frogia could enjoy the lake and the surface without needing to feel fear or trapped.

[@TheColdbloodassassin]

They essentially did that, but humans aren't actually stupid and will begin to question the real motives. Also, just like humans, the frogs will have to expand their territory eventually. Inevitably, either humans discover them first, or they attempt to encroach on human territory (which will end in the frogs' eradication).

[@mojaeche8046]

my idea was maybe move em all to a unihabitied island. so they could atleast live out doors. they could make it a military base so that visitors would be kept away and them protected

[@leinadlink]

In my eyes they could probably be revealed to the world, and let them live among us as equals. But with the huge quantities of racism and stereotypes still present this day, I doubt humanity would so willingly accept a new species like that.

[@johntaylor7029]

The foundation used fear of Fernan to control other scps. Amazing.

[@OmniGman]

So... this SCP is basically "What if Tucker's Kobolds were human-sized Bullywugs?" That's hilarious!

So sad she really didn't want to eat her "friend," but like you said, she had to do what she had to do. 😔 🐸 🧑‍🍳 🍽️ Lol which one goes best with frog legs red or white wine? 🍷🍸 😂😂😂

[@melvinfranco2142]

Both, I assume.

[@DJVideso]

The Foundation has the resources to allow the Frogs to live on the surface. All they'd really need to do is construct buildings and other stuff to keep the general area hidden.

[@Mannequin-Skywalker]

Pretty much. Just come up with a reason why the lake and the surrounding area is no longer 'safe' and cordon it off. Wouldn't be the first time.

[@Freekymoho]

​@@Mannequin-Skywalkerthe lake might be too high profile

[@KingKors99]

It’s secure contain protect. Not safety comfort pleasure. SCP Foundation mentality is; our best interest the public should never have a chance of learning of anomalies if we can prevent it by any means. They really only give extra luxuries to scps to further research (if the foundation deem it necessary) which in this case the foundation got what it wanted and the anomaly is contained which is all that matters at the end of the day

[@Saikocide]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@KingKors99If their sole purpose was to only protect humanity of their existence then they should've given the job to the GOC. An anomaly shall be Secured, identified, and taken away from human contact for its safety and others, Contained, in a way that the anomaly, depending on it's properties; is to be catered to in order to prevent a containment breach (i.e, the Frog Rebellion; In this instance, instability is shown due to the current containment procedure, SCP-953's many breaches), and to Protect, whether it be anomalous or human.

[@ashleybonin8274]

I like how stereotypical it is with the frogs being scared of the French,also the french accents are so good.

[@ashleybonin8274]

I also like the depicition of a french person depicted as evil eating an entire frog.

[@Jiub_SN]

@@ashleybonin8274this is not a stereotype! It is truth! I am French and I love to eat Grenouille Entière for all meals!! 😋

[@troperhghar9898]

This french reboot of amphibia is cool

[@SheepLiver]

I love this so much, its literally the foundation scaring a bunch of frogs with the french

[@shatteredspirit6065]

This reminds me of an episode of A Centaur's Life. A young amphibian-folk child was found near death only to be adopted and raised by a french mammal being (though I forgot what folk person he is) and became a politician who also goes back to his native homeland as an ambassador (I'm assuming) and sees that some of his tribesmen are wearing military gear. Believeing they could overthrow the mammalian folks and their gods. I have not read the manga so no spoilers!

[@thinglet2478]

14:55 it seems that the foundations relationship with frogs isn’t the only thing that’s improving 😉

[@profiscus]

The quality of the animation and the narration have become so excellent. This channel is criminally underrated

[@jessicagalvin4598]

Frog legs are eaten in the US too. It’s not a common meat, but I’ve had them at a couple places.

[@robbmitchell7846]

[@uberlisk]

We probably eat more frogs here in the Southern US than in the entirety of France. They taste a little fishy, have a chicken-like texture, and are just amazing. They are one of the first things to run out at any fish fry. Still, I wouldn't dream of eating any sentient frog-like humanoid. Unless they disobeyed orders, of course

The use of what seems like more color in this video was really cool, keep it up and thanks for all the content over the years!

[@PokeBattlerJaze]

This is such an interesting SCP because for once, I actually agree with both sides. We humans barely get along as is, we hate and kill each other over the stupidest fucking reasons, race, religion, gender, nationality, etc, so there would 100% be a bunch of crazy people who would hunt these guys to extinction simply for the sake of “just because”. And yet, the SCP wasn’t wrong either, it is only natural for a species to want to expand, and grow and become better, that’s utterly natural so not wanting to be confined to just a bunch of caves is reasonable. I think this could have been handled better sure, but like, interesting to see an SCP where you can’t definitely say which side is truly in the right here.

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

Nice touch with showing the frog people Ferdinand the Cannibal since one of the few known history about the guy is that he could be French. Maybe they should have recorded him acting like a French king to help make it more convincing.

[@cameronwiley9412]

That was a fun story. Maybe they could have relocated the frogs to a different area above ground? Like maybe an Island or something? Somewhere away from the scary, scary, French people.

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

Oh, yeah, 5457 got nothing to worry about the foundation when it comes to neutralizing annomalies. It's the GOC they got to worry about. Maybe sharing some the SCP's side stories of some of the stunts GOC pulled to neutralize annomalies would of convince some of them to stay hiding. Better yet introduce one of those frogs to Dr. Cleft and tell them he's a former GOC operative. Maybe perhaps introducing one to SCP 1609 as proof

[@leoguezellou8827]

Exactly. That's why Martin, in his captivity and daily interactions with humans, learns that no one wants to eat him. But the Foundation doesn't want the rest of the SCP-5457 to know about it, so they deliberately stoke their fears with misinformation.

Humans would like to go back to be like under-frogians, ignorant to the horrors of their reality... Safe to say they will likely go back their if they hear those stories willingly.
