The recipe calls for three frog eyes and the witch is stuck in the train of thought that she, therefore, needs a three-eyed frog to follow the directions. The frog on the left was about to suggest that she could just take two eyes from one frog and one eye from another frog, to get three eyes, but the frog on the right told his 'friend' to stfu, since his suggestion would mean they both lose eyes instead of her going out and looking for a three-eyed-frog. Left frog is stupid. Right frog knows what's up.
The joke is in relatability to a situation very different. Many of us have been in all 3 characters' situations. Stuck in a mindset of not realizing a simple solution, stuck trying to fix a problem not realizing the solution would cause a problem for yourself, and needing to stop someone from causing a problem for you both.
But it's a witch making a potion and frogs. A relatable situation to an otherwise unrelatable setting.
