The Frog and The Scorpion - Netflix After Life

[@OliverJonesMusic]

“Don’t you think she looks tired”

[@yjzhou1]

Omg!!! That's where I know her from :)

[@JiteshPanchal]

My absolute favorite scene from season 2. This series, is perhaps one of the freshest comedy that handles emotional ups and downs so well.

[@GIBBO4182]

These two have brilliant interactions throughout the whole series

[@mythra7174]

And the moral of the story is "Frogs are bitches, and we do not negotiate with terrorists."

[@dhadad9885]

What a nice way of incorporating a fable as a metaphor in a series. Brilliant writing.

[@Playlistv2]

house of lies done this too

[@canwick5678]

the point is that I thought I was the scorpion too, but nah I am the frog, most of us frog

[@dreamingcode]

Her reaction was real. Ricky is Hilarious 😂

[@davidsuttie4192]

I am so sure that they used to improvise these scenes. She had no idea he was going to say ' nothing about the shape' The reaction was so real. My favourite comedy series ever.

[@ceesmith]

So much of Ricky's material is mined from his XFM days with Steve and Carl. This one has been reworked into Tony being the frog, but the base material is the same.

[@OurFantasyLife]

Most comedy is like that. If you watch Louie on FX, most of the show is bits that Louis CK did on the Opie and Anthony show. You try out the material, see what works, and the stuff that does you rework into a show or a bit or something. Musicians do the same, actually. Just working the material before you do a "final" draft.

[@DoctorMeatDic]

Except Pilkington's response to this fable was way funnier than this awful show. He said "in what circumstances would a frog be knockin' around with a scorpion?"

[@IsaacGriggs97]

I think this fable perfectly describes self sabotage, what it is and it's consequences, and she explained it clearly.

[@gokselcetin6856]

i love the scene :)

[@miikeydobodobo5304]

This is always on the podcasts so much content from the radio show and podcasts are implemented into his shows it great

[@peter_pansexual6243]

Fun fact: scorpions can actually hold their breath for 6 days.

[@Anshuhd]

Only if that frog knew this

[@jowoods8009]

Penelope and Peter. Aww I was so made up to see these two again. Ever Decreasing Circles, one my favourites as a kid. Thank you.

[@susanleatherbarrow2495]

Oh my God, Martin Bryce!!! A sit-com icon!!!

[@joeyfitz9]

Scorpions, fucking scorpions.

[@shelbyvillerules9962]

I’d love to hear Karl Pilkington’s rendition of this story and his interpretation of the meaning.

[@michaelnewman2343]

This script is an exact copy of a conversation Ricky Steve and Karl had, but at the end Karl goes “I thought it was gonna say ‘I can swim’”

I always look forward to scenes with her.

[@flugoaway3398]

Her and Roxy ❤

[@WildfireX]

every show he does is just everything he said to karl on XFM.

[@Parananza]

My fav part is when Daphne aka Roxy talk with Tony about the postman. I loved dat part can u upload it? I really love Gervais's works. I'm Italian. I wish one day to come to one of his comedy show.

[@jknumber5138]

A frog doesn't need any help crossing a lake or a river(he is the river)

[@sandergavoci1812]

Umbrella Academy used this one s02e04 Claus wasn't as elegant speaker and Claus being .. he wasnt exactly making a point either .. 🤣

[@mythra7174]

The moral of the story is, "Frogs are bitches and we do not negotiate with terrorists."

[@alexrobb22]

I reckon I’ve heard this in at least 5 different shows in the last couple of years. All of a sudden it just started appearing everywhere

[@DiamondsRexpensive]

​@@alexrobb22do you recall the names of those shows?

[@KeziaKez]

"I can swim"

[@TranceHeed]

Beautiful.

[@BoxcarBill]

because it is my nature to do so.

[@stanley____3126]

Can someone please tell me what other shows this has been in I just heard it in the umbrella academy, but I already knew the story before klaus said it I just can't remember which show I heard it in?? 😅

[@RevolutionaryLoser]

I think it appears in the film Drive and the film The Crying Game.

[@ksthebest]

S02E05 of Netflix' StartUp

[@niko7903]

CSI

[@aregnavasardyan99]

The Sopranos, Tony telling Davie why he let him gamble

[@tomwotton9]

Yes I have seen Stargate SG- 1, Startrek Voyager, Brooklyn 99 and weirdly Gilmore Girls, so yes I know the bloody fable of the scorpion and the frog!

[@noahzohs]

Love this

Why wouldn’t the scorpion just sting the frog before going across the river

[@buyukbirader8864]

Kurtlar vadisinde de geçiyor bu hikaye

[@DrunkTalkin]

When I first saw this scene I was thrown. She could have been talking to me. Sometimes shows just get it right

[@georgelee-dc8mt]

Imagine this show with Derek instead of Tony
