Muppet Showdown Quarterfinals: Part 1

In a true sweep, Animal defeated Camilla the Chicken (poor Gonzo), and with the help of much propaganda (I will not apologize) Tutter beat Beaker (who I still appreciate. I do have a Beaker Christmas ornament, but Tutter is my favorite little guy).

More Muppet High AU Headcanons (or I guess just regular canon in my version of this)

- Aside from being the class president, Sam Eagle is also the hall monitor.

- Pepé is a foreign exchange student from Spain! Unlike his fellow foreign exchange student (Swedish Chef), he's almost fluent in English. He lives with Seymour for the time being, but his family is in the process of moving to America.

- Lew Zealand and Fozzie have an intense rivalry when it comes to the title of class clown.....if only Lew knew about said rivalry.

- Uncle Deadly, Pops, and Dr. Strangepork are all teachers (Theatre, uhhhh social studies probably???, and science respectively)

- Piggy is Uncle Deadly's favorite student. Maybe it's because of the gossip they share, maybe it's because Piggy's family is the reason that the theatre department hasn't lost all funding, or maybe it's Maybelline.

- Constantine is around, but he finds it very odd how everyone says he's from the USSR, considering it's been dissolved for decades.

- Beaker and Janice are both trans. Janice has been on estrogen since she was about 14, and is on the road to getting bottom surgery when she's 18. Meanwhile, Beaker is on Bunsen's "HRT" (It's definitely not legal) which has done everything but make his voice deeper.

- For the above point, I don't care that this place is vaguely in the 1950s, let them be trans damnit

- Whenever the main gang are up to some nonsense, there's a Little Shop of Horrors style Greek chorus narrating what's about to happen. It consists of the cheer team, and if one of the members of the cheer team is involved, their spot is replaced with Yolanda.

- Gonzo's affinity for poultry started at a very early age, and at this point he's got a huge crush on Camilla. If this was a cartoon, this would definitely be the plot of one of the episodes, especially since he's not yet the confident weirdo we know today.

- Dr. Teeth is still called Dr. Teeth in high school even though he's not a real doctor yet.

- Link Hogthrob is only passing any classes because he's a nepo baby and his family has ties with Dr. Strangepork.

- Scooter's uncle is the principal.

- Skeeter is the only girl on the football team, and one of 3 members that isn't a monster (Rowlf and Link are the other 2)

Muppet Headcanons

I have so many random, silly Muppet headcanons I need to get out of my system, sooo here we go, bare with me

~Kermit still keeps in touch with the Sesame Street gang ever since he left them. He usually calls Elmo, Grover, or Ernie the most to check up on them and say hi!

~Apart from fish being his favorite animal, Lew Zealand is a big animal lover in general! He has an especially soft spot for all aquatic wildlife, including animals such as turtles and seabirds.

~I don't care what y'all say, Bobo and Uncle Deadly had something with each other in The Muppets (2011).

~Miss Piggy really does have a soft heart, her temper just makes it hard to show. Actually, this better be canon.

~Robin and Rowlf's nephew (from the Jimmy Dean Show) are good friends and love having play dates.

~Big Mean Carl is really emotional, he's just really good at hiding it.

~Fozzie has accidentally set things on fire more than once. Most times have been in the kitchen, he's not exactly the best cook. But it's happened so much somehow, it pretty much seems like he's prone to it.

~Sweetums gets along well with a lot of the tinier Muppets ironically. He's surprisingly really gentle when he needs to be, and is always careful with his smaller friends. Him and Yolanda are besties!

~Walter has more than once weirded out the others by just how much he knows about each of them. (Well that's what happens when your a super fan guys)

~Gonzo has a whole wardrobe that's just dresses.

~This is pretty much canon, but it's agreed Zoot has magical abilities. The guy has probably traveled to other dimensions and not even realized it.

~Also pretty much canon, but Rowlf has a much sassier side to him than he usually let's on. Most people just haven't seen it that often... except for Jimmy Dean. Jimmy Dean saw it plenty of times lol.

~Fozzie is like the resident tickle monster lol. Usually if someone doesn't laugh at his joke, he'll just be a little twerp and tickle them to make them laugh. He'll also just do it to be silly (Kermit has been a victim to his silliness the most lol).

~Kermit knows every first and middle name of all of his siblings. (which keep in mind he canonically has like over a thousand siblings)

~Beauregard knows a lot of cool random facts actually that he'll just randomly throw out there sometimes.

~Another one about Beau, him and Beaker are good friends. (They canonically usually set up stage props together on The Muppet Show)

~Scooter has so many father figures. Kermit, Dr. Teeth, Fozzie, and Rowlf are all his dads lol... and Janice is his one mom figure.

~Pepe and Rizzo have been together at some point.

~Nigel, more well-known as the band conductor from The Muppet Show, and Kermit are actually good old friends. (He was actually meant to be the host for The Muppet Show before the role was switched to Kermit)

~Lips and Dolores (trumpet girl) are really good friends despite him taking up her role as trumpet player. She'll still sometimes pick up her old trumpet and the two will play together for fun.

~I don't know why this isn't canon but. Walter. Autism. Real.

~Skeeter likes to visit the Muppet theatre every so often to visit Scooter. In the few times she's been there, she's developed pretty good relationships with all the others as well.

~Bunsen and Beaker have pretty much been together since they were literally babies (go watch Muppet Babies for proof)

~This isn't really a headcanon but something I've noticed about Miss Piggy. She seems to have a softer spot for a few of the others, and I don't just mean Kermit.

I've noticed that she genuinely baby talks Rowlf a lot, and calls him Rowlfy. She's never actually tried to karate chop him like she has others either. There's been like once she tried to swing at him, from The Muppet Show, and ended up hitting the piano instead. Personally to me, it seemed like she didn't really try with her hit like she has all other times; it was more like she was annoyingly swatting at him because he was aggravating her (which he was btw, he was teasing her). I just think her and Rowlf are good old pals, and I just think that she knows that he's genuinely sweet and doesn't wanna be mean to someone like that.

Same with Beauregard, she's been really nice to him too. She's even given him a motivational speech before from The Muppet Show (in that same episode, he hugged her and said she was his only friend and I sobbed so mentally hard over that). I think Miss Piggy just knows who generally good folks are and in turn shows her soft side to them.

Okay I've poured out all I can, for now! Here's some silly doodles of some of the headcanons!

[thecryptidwizard]

Which of the Muppets are your dearest favorites?

OOOOUUUU i like this question :]c

Gonzo is one of my top favs (who is surprised really?), I also like Pepe, Beaker, and Kermit :D

[aspirationallybutch]

mentioned to my masc that a mutual of mine loves muppets and now they’re asking what your favorite muppet is 🙏

(hers are gonzo, rizzo and beaker in that order)

Omg incredible. I think it’s a tie between Gonzo and Kermit for me. Mr. Snuffleupagus also has a special place in my heart.

[gary-goldstein-law]

HELLO DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE MUPPET?

I love Bunsen and Beaker, but Gonzo holds a place in my heart.

Drinking Game: Muppet Babies (1984)

Last year, over the course of a few weeks, I rewatched every episode of the original Muppet Babies cartoon, which was a childhood favorite of mine.

Once I recognized the recurring themes and running gags of the cartoon, I made this drinking game. Given how often these things happen, I recommend using a non-alcoholic drink.

*Take a drink whenever Piggy flirts with Kermit.

*Take a drink whenever Skeeter giggles.

*Take a drink whenever Skeeter and Piggy argue or compete.

*Take a drink whenever Animal laughs.

*Take a drink whenever Animal eats something.

            *Two if it isn’t food.

*Take a drink whenever Animal makes a mess.

*Take a drink whenever there’s a gag involving Gonzo’s nose.

*Take a drink whenever Gonzo has a fantasy sequence involving aliens or outer space.

*Take a drink whenever Gonzo’s stuffed chick Camilla appears.

            *Two drinks if she appears as a real chicken in a fantasy.

*Take a drink whenever all the kids fall down with a crash.

*Take a drink whenever an imagination sequence starts.

*Take a drink whenever an imagination sequence ends.

*Take a drink whenever the kids look at a storybook and imagine themselves in it.

*Take a drink whenever a song is sung.

*Take a drink whenever Kermit says “Sheesh!”

            *Two when someone else says it.

*Take a drink whenever Piggy says “Yippie skippie!”

*Take a drink whenever Piggy says “Oh brother!”

*Take a drink whenever Fozzie says “I knew that” about something he obviously didn’t know.

*Take a drink whenever Piggy loses her temper.

*Take a drink whenever Nanny comes into the nursery.

*Take a drink whenever Nanny introduces the kids to something they didn’t know about before.

*Take a drink whenever the kids decide to make something for Nanny (e.g. lunch, a newspaper, or an exercise bike).

*Take a drink whenever Bunsen and Beaker visit.

            *Two when Bunsen invents something.

*Take a drink whenever Bean Bunny visits.

            *Two when he mentions his own cuteness.

            *Two drinks whenever his thoughts are heard in voiceover.

*Take a drink whenever Statler and Waldorf visit.

*Take a drink whenever an adult appears other than Nanny, Statler or Waldorf.

*Take a drink whenever Gonzo opens the closet and sees a film clip.

*Take a drink whenever Animal says “Go bye-bye!”

            *Two if someone else says it (e.g. Gonzo in Muppet Goose).

            *Two if Animal says a variation on it (e.g. “Go butter-bye!” in Nice to Have Gnome You).

*Take a drink whenever there’s an Indiana Jones reference.

*Take a drink whenever there’s a Star Wars reference.

*Take a drink whenever there’s a Star Trek reference.

[chiclet-go-boom]

weirdly enough was talking to someone this morning on the drive in to work and got on the topic of favorite muppets.

"Gotta be Elmo," I said, because what cad doesn't have Elmo in top position. I was obviously barking up a different Street but my faux pas slid.

"Nah," says he. "Although adorable and cute, no question. I love the little "brriiiiiiing!" alien guys the best. Although maybe the Swedish Chef."

"Can't forget Beaker." "Oh shit yeah. Beaker. Does Beaker beat out the Swedish chef? Uh..."

... sound of grinding gears in the other seat.

"But really, its gotta be Animal. Best muppet, no question. Second best. Alien muppets THEN Animal THEN Swedish Chef and Beaker are, like, tied."

I can't argue with that breakdown. Personally my favorite muppet is a toss up between Kermit or Gonzo but I am ALSO reconsidering where Beaker fits.

The gang’s all here!

[melodic-cherry]

Crystal ( me ) rambles • self indulgent post •

Topic: If I could be a muppet, am I going as me or cherry.

UGH! What a question my best friend asked me today during our call. That’s such a question for me because Cherry is my favorite character I’ve ever made. I would love to live out her and Dr. teeth having a relationship…. As well as I would love to know what it’s like to be somebody like her! Realistically me and her have nothing in common, except for not being comfortable around dentists, which is a joke in their relationship ( lol .) I’ve had the Muppets as my special interest since I was around 5 years old. So IDK!!! For so long I’ve always imagined myself being a doctor at Muppet labs. ^^;;…. So if I got the opportunity, I’d really be torn. I love the doc more than anybody I promise he is my world!! But in reality, what I go for a guy like him, probably not?? I tend to like guys closer to gonzo or scooter… so that’s a fun fact about me ^_^. I can’t see myself being who I am as a Muppet and Dr. teeth liking me due to just how different we are as people. Not that he would discriminate! Just literally I don’t like being around people and I hate doing social activities when that’s his whole thing XD. But I guess unfortunately, knowing me, I would probably go as myself, but always try to watch dr teeth from afar. QwQ… if I could have it my way I would split my soul in 2, and let cherry be real and myself be real but that’s not possible!! Actually, this whole question is theoretical but still!! I would be more than happy being Dr. Bunsen honeydews niece and working at muppet labs! I know damn well that Bunsen would accommodate my autism and not expect me to do social tasks nor talk since I’m usually mute. I would like being kind of like almost what beaker does except for….i do the doctor shit (??) assistant. Doctor’s assistant. but still called doctor… yes that’s good. If gonzo wasn’t still with Camilla, which is an off and on again, relationship weirdly, I would probably go for gonzo. Ofc!! But I can also see myself dating scooter but we’re very similar people so I don’t really know how that would work. Also, fun fact I’m really happy that I see a lot of the fandom ship scooter with Walter because I’ve always head canoned scooter as bisexual!! I personally think that Walter is gay but that’s just me. I believe that Walter is a gay trans man. ANYWAY this is a ramble but me? Personally? I gotta live my muppet truth but GOD I need a world where cherry is real and I get to be her, but I’d be like dying and becoming her never had been me bc that would make no sense- need cherry x teeth ( golden cherries ) so badly

[dragonmuse]

This just popped into my head. Leda house verse gang’s favorite muppet?

Stede- Kermit. He likes the classics and he vibes with his high anxiety.

Eddy- Rowlf the Dog. He looks very huggable and kind, leave her alone about it.

Jim- All of the Electric Mayhem. Yes, maybe Animal specifically, what of it?

Oluwande- Bunson and Beaker. He shipped them even as a kid.

Lucius- Miss Piggy. Obvs. (he thinks he is a Miss Piggy, but he's actually Scooter, don't tell him).

Pete- Grover. He watched a lot of Sesame Street as a kid and Super Grover was his favorite segment.

Izzy- The Swedish Chef. It just makes him laugh, ok? Fuck off.

Roach - Gonzo. He very strongly identifies.

John- Fozzie Bear, he just never lets other people not like his jokes stop him from telling them!

Frenchie- Rizzo the Rat, specifically in the Christmas Carol.

Buttons- Camilla.

Read- Elmo. Yes, it's still Elmo. Yes, maybe she has a little plush version of him somewhere in her apartment. He was very comforting!

Anne- Didn't grow up with them, but is very partial to Kermit once introduced.

Alma- Miss Piggy! Come on, she's clearly awesome.

Charlie- Gonzo. Being shot out of a canon looked awesome.

[majorbaby]

Lmao. MUPPETS.

thank you!! decided to be extra and make this because i wanted to use images and i hate the way tumblr forces the dimensions:

Miss Piggy - blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Kermit - scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Rowlf the musical accompanist literally they would be nothing without Rowlf!!! - scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Beaker, I don’t think he’s obscure anymore but he was pretty rare back in the day - glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

mean gay couple aka Statler and Waldorf - poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

The Swedish Chef idk i love him but he fills me with rage - horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Gonzo, i can’t explain it but I’ve always hated him lol - eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

[anniesocsandgeneralstore]

Hey, so since Halloween is quickly approaching I had some werewolf questions! 1) What is Mickey and Reuben's favorite couple's costume? 2) If Red Sky had to do a pack costume, what do you think they would do? (Is it bad that my mind immediately went to Star Trek, Star Wars, or The Addams Family?)

HALLOWEEN BABEY !!! while i'm not doing anything for the holiday, sadly, it's fun to think about the werewolf au dressing up and having fun lol thank you M for sending this in.

Mickey and Reuben's favorite couple's costume is Luke Skywalker and Din Djarin (lemme tell you what....I ship it and so does Mickey. Hardcore.) Reuben goes as Luke and Mickey as Din.....they carry around a little Grogu plushie....but once they have their own little one they dress them up as well.

Mickey is just consistently a huge pop culture nerd

OKAY BUT GROUP COSTUMES WITH RED SKY

I absolutely adore the idea of Mickey making all of them dress up in Star Trek uniforms (Jake....does not mind the skirt on Ronnie the absolute horndog) They dress the kids up as little aliens lol

and Star Wars???? Reuben and Mickey are still Luke and Din obvs. But Jake and Ronnie as Han and Leia?? Javy wants to be Vader but ends up being Chewie (he gets into it, figures out how to use the wolf growl to make The Noise). Frank gets to be Vader, that just fits him perfectly. The kids can be droids....that makes me laugh lol

THE ADDAMS FAMILY!!!!!!! Frick.......I am in love with that concept. Though I 100% think Ronnie would want to go as Cousin Itt ngl lol so Jake is probably Lurch or something.....does that leave Reuben and Mickey as Morticia and Gomez?? probably lol

But MY first thought when I thought of group costumes was The Muppets....for some reason lol Jake as Kermit, Ronnie as Miss Piggy, Javy as Fozzy Bear, Reuben as Gonzo, Mickey as Rizzo, and maybe Frank as Sam the Eagle. That entire concept lives in my heard rent free now lol and the kids get dressed up as like Animal, Bunsen, Beaker, and the baby is Camilla the Chicken lollllll

God I just love them so much. Rockin up to the Halloween Fest in the best costumes there just cause Mickey and Reuben are hardcore dedicated (and are also determined to win the prize each year now that things are semi normal)

Other Group costume options just cause I can't stop thinking them up: Cast of Peter Pan, Toy Story would be cute, LoTR, Avengers, just a bunch of lumberjacks and the kids are little werewolves lollllll

[delightfully-deranged-dagur]

Muppet May Day 20 Gonzo and Camilla

Who knew that a Whatever and a Chicken could have such a loving relationship?

Gonzo is one of my top 3 favorite Muppets. The other 2 being Beaker and someone we haven't done yet. But soon.

Gonzo is one of the few classic Muppets to still have his original Muppeteer. Dave Goelz. He's been around since the beginning and still going strong.

Camilla is the only Muppet to get away with saying "Fuck" on live TV. Well, technically she didn't say it as much as she sung a whole song singing "Fuck You". Iconic.
