Mzansi jokes about "breakfast in bed"

South African viewers found the video particularly funny because of stereotypes about certain Asian cultures, including frog dishes in their cuisine. The comments section quickly filled with jokes about the man being afraid of what many commenters called his "breakfast."

Chinese edible frogs (Hoplobatrachus chinensis) are indeed eaten in several Asian countries, including China, Thailand, and the Philippines. They're commonly sold in wet markets and seafood markets, with their legs often fried or cooked in various traditional dishes.
