Who is your favorite muppet?

[Capt Worley PE]

How could you not love Beaker? Especially since it was so easy to make your own.

IMHO I don't consider the SS characters muppets. They're SS characters. Muppets are muppets. That is all.

So are you implying that Kermit isn't a muppet? I think the term "muppet" was actually coined by Henson while working on SS.

Kermit wasn't a main character on SS. His starring role was as a muppets.

I have never thought of muppets sexually.

Why not? They've got a mouth and already have a hand up their butt.

Oh yeah, Fozzie, the Swedish Chef, and the grumpy old men are the best.

But ... Fozzie and the Swedish Chef are SS characters too. Where do you draw the line ?

To me... If it came from the mind of Jim Henson, or at least under his direction/influence/etc, it's a muppet... that being said... I voted Beaker

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Isn't a muppet half puppet, half marionette by definition?

 

[TouchDown]

I'm assuming "The Scientist" is Bunson?

Yeah, I just forgot his name... Beaker was why I watched him anyway.

And some sad news on that front.

Professor Bunson Honeydew, if I recall correctly.

 

[Wolverine]

What about Jack?

"Jack not name, Jack JOB!"

Followup: Apparently the character is named "Sweetums."

Sweetums was my favorite.

I never remember seeing them on Sesame Street.

 

[dastuff]

I still use Wocka Wocka Wocka

 

[MGX]

The female muppet in the band is named Janice.

Hmm. Apparently you are right. Here is a site where you can look them up.

I reckon my feeble mind is failing me.

We have a dippy neighbor we call Janice in reference to that particular muppet. We refer to her husband as Eeyore. They aren't our favorite neighbors.

 

[Sschell]

I guess Oscar falls in the SS category too huh?

I am withholding my vote and futher participation in this thread until I can vote for the grouch.

What ever happened to "Madame"? (not a muppet at all, but I remember when I was younger thinking she was funny, although I can't remember for the life of me anything she said or did, other than being on TV).

That is some creepy shit right there TD. Is that Supe in the picture?

What's the word for people who have sexual fettishes with puppets? I know the word for people with sexual fettishes with stuffed animals is plushie but I don't think that applies here.

 

[TouchDown]

Bah.

No puppet fettishes here...

I just had brought up something in the 10k about remembering things when I was a kid and a few google image searches have brought up sometimes very odd results when you type in "muppets"... Madame was in one of them, and I remember her - I think she (the guy) was on Johnny Carson Show, too... seems soo long ago.

As for Supe.. I think he's into "bigger" women.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

No Oscar? No Snuffleupagus?

Anyone remeber the robot on SS?
