Not one muppet, but this exchange:

Gonzo: "It just feels weird."

Rizzo: "That Mr Arrow is dead?"

Gonzo: "Yeah, that. And my pants are filled with starfish."

Rizzo: "...you and your hobbies!"

Miss Piggie is pure comedy gold. Everything she does is hilarious.

That or Tim Curry

As a kid I always hated Miss Piggie since she as sort of the humourless foil to Kermit but I think I can appreciate porcine Yoda a bit more now if only for the voice.

humorless Kermit

But Kermit was clearly the straight man in the show

Miss Piggie is just a DIVA. It's gold

Pilot from Farscape

Animal.

I know he won’t be top of many people’s lists of favourite but he’s always been the one I liked. Might not be the funniest or have many lines in any of the shows or films but there’s just something I like about him.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 hours ago

Yeh he always seemed rock and roll!

How has nobody said Statler and Waldorf, yet? Easily the best.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, as a whole.

I guess within the band, my ranking would go:

  • Dr Teeth
  • Animal
  • Janice
  • Zoot
  • Floyd
  • Lips

Beaker. Even has a smiley. *8-0

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Beaker and Swedish Chef, dead heat.

Definitely Grover. I had a brilliant Grover book as a kid, called The Monster at the End of This Book, and I've always loved that blue rascal ever since 😁

Beaker & Professor Honeydew.

Waldorf and Statler are probably runners up

When I was a kid, it was Animal.

Now that I'm an adult and a parent, it's Kermit.

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Pepe king prawn.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 day ago

It's hard to pick a favorite, but the Swedish chef was always a laugh

Sweetums & Rowlf

Maybe take the hand out of your butt and you'll feel better? Has to be uncomfortable having that there 24/7.

Beaker always gets a laugh out of me, but his range is obviously limited lol I think miss piggy is hilarious too!

[–] cookiemonster@beehaw.org 4 points 1 day ago

Me love cookie

I know too many Miss Piggies irl, so beaker all the way, even though character is a bit simple
