mine is risotto
Rizo and Gonzo. Don’t make me pick just one.
Are we talking muppet muppets? Or can we go all old fashioned?
If so my choice is Big Bird.
Beaker. Pure chaos. 10/10
The only one that counts. I’ll show myself out. . .
Tim Curry
Ah yeah the classic: Michael Caine acted like the muppets were normal people and Tim curry acted like he was also a muppet.
Difficult choice. I like Fozzie’s bad joke schtick, and Statler & Waldorf are classic, but I think my heart truly belongs to Dr. Teeth and by extension all of The Electric Mayhem.
I second that
Swedish Chef
Statler & Waldorf.
Boooo
Pepe. The whole concept of a prawn Muppet is amazing.
This. A terrible surgeon by all accounts, but laid-back and entirely competent as a musician.
Fozzie also proved to be a competent pianist, but his personality, or at least his “on” stage persona, well, that leaves something to be desired.
Fozzie is a great comedian, if your idea of a great comedian is someone that tells bad jokes and knows how to take a few tomatoes to the face.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate Fozzie, in fact I think I kind of want to give the guy a hug.
The man (or rather, bear) just wants to be loved after all. He wants to make people laugh and have them be happy. He’s the clown with a touch of melancholy, and might even be in my top 10. He’s just not top of the list.
Kermit. And before you call that a boring pick, might I remind you that this man is the head of what is essentially an art collective from the 70s. He knows how to have fun.
Also leading the Frog Resistance. :)
Beaker and Swedish Chef are also amazing, but this is most certainly one of my favourites:
Gonzo the Great.
This, a million times this
