Did a quick sketch cuz IM SO EXCITED FOR MUPPETS MAYHEM

[inevitablemoment]

Muppet Performer Richard Hunt, circa 1979. Seen here looking like he's never known darker times.

Like he's covered the protests live at the Hatchetfield Kennel.

Like he is Dan Reynolds (with Action News, weekdays at 10 pm).

The Muppets Mayhem is absolutely amazing. In my opinion, speaking as a long time Muppet fan, this is some of the best Muppet content we’ve gotten since 2011 or 2014.

So I wanted to run down my favorite moments in the series episode 1.

#1- the concert scene right off the bat, the full body shot of the Mayhem! How awesome!

#2- Animal continuously saying Nora, Lilly Singh’s character’s name. As far as I can tell this is a running gag through out the entire series, I’m only on Episode 8.

#3- This moment with Dr. Teeth in the hot tub spontaneously producing Mai Tais out of thin air.

#4- A new rendition of Can You Picture That!! Switching up the lyric delivery, a new rendition of a classic.

#5- the actual cliffhanger the episode! Apparently in the world of the Muppets, the Mayhem get into cliffhangers all the time.🤷‍♀️

#6- these little post credit gags with Zoot taking a picture is kinda funny. I just find it really endearing.

Also side note, shout out to Moog! He’s my favorite of the new characters, he’s the bands #1 groupie/mega fan he’s just awesome.

While im sure it was annoying to the performers like when needing direction. But Jim’s whole deal when he created the muppets was wanting them to be more lifelike, as old style puppetry was always clearly a puppet no qs asked.

He hated when ppl called him a muppeteer but sorry bro u basically invented a new art form

(Im so jealous of the user who got to interview Gonzo)

As I grow older I feel my capacity to understand that Miss Piggy is not a real person reached a peak in my adolescence and is now on a steady decline. I watched a Wendy Williams interview and there's this part that's like "can we get a ring cam!" and Miss Piggy shows her bling and I'm just like fuck she's so iconic. Miss Piggy who are you wearing? Miss Piggy have you ever considered running for office??

Jack Rackham is my favorite character in Black Sails because Toby Schmitz is the only actor who realizes he is in a prequel for Muppet Treasure Island...

i do agree that Chappell Roan would be a great muppet show guest, but I’m gonna throw something else out there.

She’d be INCREDIBLE on sesame street

Happy 80th Birthday, Frank Oz!

find someone who looks at you the way Anne Murray looks at Zoot

bernadette peters in season two of the muppet show

primetime emmy award nominee for outstanding continuing or single performance by a supporting actress in a variety or music program

i hope muppet joe remains because i like the idea that human joe is actually still there as the muppeteer he just got really into ventriloquism between seasons and now not a single word will come from his mouth ever again

Was watching the muppet show and in the episode Petula Clark, this guy shows up, and I could just think of your Giant Sun

--

aww! Sour! this is so cute! thanks for sharing!

just a note, Giant Sun belongs to @linafoxoficial btw! i’m just a big fan—you could say "I would give my heart gladly" 😉

but this totally made me check out the performance and it's super cute! i had to redraw the little nose smooch with Giant Sun and my silly Clip

Mari-lore Comics #10-11: SUCCESS

She's IN!!!

But how will she mesh with the rest of the Up Late With Miss Piggy writing team, really?

Will she foster friendships with her new Muppet coworkers? Romance, even?

And most importantly: will Zoot EVER remember her name??

Stay tuned, dear readers... 👀

[inevitablemoment]

Based on what I've heard about Jim Henson and Richard Hunt's dynamic, there's a good chance that Richard accidentally called Jim "Dad" at some point.

SPOILER WARNING FOR THE MUPPETS MAYHEM!!!!!

Part 2 of my the Muppets Mayhem favorite moments rundown. Episode 2

#1- I love these little cold opens with the band in the van they’re great

#2- Pics 1-5 are all of the cold open it revolves around Animal presenting Nora, Lilly Singh’s character, with gifts of affection because, as established in episode 1, he’s obsessed with her. Every weird gift Animal gives her gets Nora more agitated and it’s just hilarious to me. Honestly Animal is my favorite part of this series. Second is Zoot.

#3- The gifts of affection gag from the cold open culminates in pic #6, Animal gifting Nora an actual goat. His name is Darren.

#4- So another gag through out this episode is that every time Nora lies Janice sneezes. At the party the Mayhem throws at the house they’re staying at, the same party where Animal gives her Darren, Nora tells so many lies that Janice literally passes out, she legit gets hospitalized because she’s, and I quote, a hippy lie detector.

#5- the episode ends with a very sweet Janice led rendition of True Colors and the whole house is lit with lava lamps it’s beautiful.

I found us in the wild. Also a fantastic drag performance of Confrontation!

It’s time to watch Michael Caine put his whole Michael Cussy into performing with a bunch of Muppets
