who was your favourite muppet??

Quirkafleeg · 07 February, 2004, 06:52:01 PM

Bunsen and Beaker being a somewhat spoddy kid... now I've actually got a liking for Kermit (trying to organise chaos) and Waldorf and Statler...

Statler: Ah, there's nothing like grand opera.
Waldorf: And that was nothing like it.

When I was a DJ a uni I used finish every gig with the Muppet Theme...

Bert from Sesame St

Ernie!

simply because I cant do a great 'gee burt!' impression.

apart from him, its rizzo the rat (light the torch not the rat!)

Tanky · 07 February, 2004, 09:04:00 PM

Animal, Beaker and the random penguins!

Got to be Gonzo.
And from Sesame Street, the truly brilliant Grover.

Just like The Great Gonzo I have a soft spot for the chickens.

Dr Teeth was like, totally the wickedest cat, man.

But Gonzo was the true protagonist.

Heard an interesting fact about the muppets, that they couldn't get funding in the states, so they started it off with a Uk audience.

Most odd.

All of the above, plus the cool girl bass player from the band, did she have a name?

MaxNormal · 07 February, 2004, 09:56:11 PM

Dude, don't talk about the woman I love like that.

er... I mean...

The hapless round-headed blue guy that grover always waited on in the restaurant in Sesame Street. The perfect straight man to grover's antics. I think the programme makers called him "Blue Guy".

Personally I prefered Sesame Street, the comedy was so simple and didn't rely on so many old jokes.

herdy gerdy put the fishy in de hoop!!

Go Sweedish chef

IndigoPrime · 08 February, 2004, 02:12:20 AM

Brrr. The Chef always freaked me out - something to do with those human hands.

My fave: Rowlf - criminally underused since the sad death of Henson.

"since the sad death of Henson."

And now we see the sad spectacle of muppets advertising McDonalds and Credit cards, something Jim Henson would never have allowed.
