The joke is built on observation humor — frogs didn't plan anything, didn't try anything, they just won by default. There's something inherently funny about a frog being smug and ready for St. Patrick's Day before you even thought to get dressed.
Gesture to an imaginary frog proudly surveying the crowd in its permanent "costume" — the visual of a self-satisfied amphibian who had zero prep time is the image that sells it.
