i think music streaming services should be allowed to have all the songs from the muppet show. I’m sorry but sometimes I think the muppets do it better and I’ll be listening to a song and be like *heavy sigh* Miss Piggy sang this better

OK i just had a Bunsenbeaker hc that won’t leave me alone;

What if, while they were filming something live from Muppet Labs, Bunsen was introducing Beaker as usual, but instead of saying ‘My *insert endearing adjective here* assistant’, he says 

‘My lovely husband.’

And the fans proceed to lose their shit, even as Bunsen rushes to correct himself bc shit sorry Beakie didn’t mean to let the cat out of the bag.

You can pry this couple, and this hc, from my cold dead hands. Yes, you can.

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

Muppet Mainstage, November 28th, 2023

“Big Spender” is a song from the 1966 musical Sweet Charity, written by Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields. The song follows a group of “taxi dancers” (women who were paid to dance with men) who are trying to entice men to buy a dance with them.

In the 1973 tv special, Julie on Sesame Street, Julie Andrews performed the song to a dapperly dressed Cookie Monster (Frank Oz), who then begins to eat all of her accessories.

Normally I just post a link to a YouTube video with the song because that’s easier, but all the available clips of this song aren’t the best quality, so I made a clip from the special that someone uploaded to YouTube. Also delightful special in general.

Muppet Mainstage, December 12th

“Marley and Marley” was written by Paul Williams for the 1992 movie A Muppet Christmas Carol. The song features Jacob (Statler, performed by Jerry Nelson) and Robert Marley (Waldorf, performed by Dave Goelz) singing about the crimes they committed in life and their fate, warning their former partner Ebeneezer Scrooge (Michael Caine).

muppets are all fueled by autism in their own special way

sometimes my friends send me tiktoks where people rank the “gayest muppets” and it always annoys me because the lists are always the flimsiest fucking things with like 7 muppets on them. The last one i got sent had 6 muppets and NO MUPPETS PERFORMED BY RICHARD HUNT. NONE. Tell me you don’t know your muppet history without telling me you don’t know your muppet history.

this is what I look like btw

[muppetydyke]

see the THING IS. The muppets are cheesy and kitschy and earnest in a simple way. They’re about being a group of freaks that found where they belong with each other. Yes, Miss Piggy is glamorous and sassy but it feels wrong to see her in a mansion alone instead of a dressing room that is under threat of siege at any moment. Kermit is easy to fluster and is prone to wiggly armed fits of rage when appropriate. The humor isn’t sarcastic marvel style quips, it’s really bad puns and exaggerated slapstick with a couple of absolutely genius puns tossed in. They need to be together. They’re a family. A really lame, kitschy, earnestly weird family.

“don’t get a fandom tattoo!!”

say that to my Kermit the frog tattoo. Lesbians and middle aged women love him

the other day my sister sent me a reel on instagram about a “crazy fact you wouldn’t believe” and it was that Yoda and Miss Piggy were voiced by the same person (didn’t even say his name (Frank Oz) or some of the other muppets he voiced) and it’s like I know I am an outlier with a deep love for muppets. But I thought it was a relatively well known fact. And even if it wasn’t, you can hear the similarities in their voices. Anyways I felt like that one comic with overestimating general knowledge
