Froggo is a fictional character created for the Warner Bros. animated series Histeria! He is notable from the show's Kid Chorus in that he has a low, frog-like voice (hence his name), as well as the fact that he does not have a given last name or a catch phrase.
Frequently, Froggo is shown asking the featured historical figures if he can borrow a few seemingly useless items for needs that he doesn't care to disclose (as he tells Thomas Edison, "you have your inventions, and I have mine"). If he is told he cannot be given these things, he will either go into a frenzied panic (as shown when the Wright Brothers can't give him a bag of marshmallows and a crate of leeches) or tell the person to not come crying to him later (as shown when Andrew Jackson doesn't give him a bucket of worms and a keg of gunpowder, both of which Froggo picks up himself later). He apparently has an inventive nature, to the point that he has even written a series of books about the things he can do with these items (in one episode, he shows us a book titled Froggo's 101 Uses for Glue and Tadpoles).
In one of the show's most well-known sketches, Froggo is depicted as "Joseph Stalin's little buddy", calling on him to have the KGB arrest anyone who picks on him. He has also been portrayed in the role of Ivan the Terrible, William Blake, and Samuel Johnson.
According to a series of polls on a Histeria! fansite, Froggo was the show's most popular male character. In fanfiction, he is occasionally depicted with romantic feelings for Aka Pella.
Froggo was voiced by Nathan Ruegger.
