CHAD FROG by Matt Furie (CHAD)

CHAD FROG burst onto the scene in 2021 as Matt Furie’s bold evolution of his iconic creation, Pepe the Frog. Debuted in a playful yet striking tweet, Chad Frog is the high-octane, ultra-confident counterpart to the melancholic Sad Frog—a vibrant, neon-lit symbol of swagger, transformation, and meme culture in its most empowered form. With slick shades, a confident smirk, and a palette ripped straight from a synthwave dream, Chad Frog isn’t just a character—he’s a statement. Representing resilience and cool defiance, he emerged at a time when memes were becoming more than jokes - they were digital identities.
