Favourite muppet

[HEyHEY]

Poll question: Favourite muppet

Toss up between ralph and swedish chef for me.

Although I do like WOKKA WOKKA WOKKA!

[kixot]

1. What, no beaker?

Meep?

[HEyHEY]

44. lol

that was funny

[YellowRubberDuckie]

2. I think his name was Raulf...

My sister was 8 years older than me and used to yell at me when I was a child that it was RAULF not RALPH.
Duckie

[Ediacara]

3. Rolf actually

[Paragon]

34. Also wrong - it was "Rowlf"

He's a dog - get it? :silly:

[Philostopher]

35. Maybe you remember, Paragon.

I know Kermit was a carryover from Sesame Street, but did they also carry Rowlf over? I can't recall, but I think he also appeared on Sesame Street. None of the other Muppet Show characters did on the TV show, although I think they occasionally carried them over into the movies.

[Paragon]

36. Possibly, but I don't think so

I only clearly remember him on "The Muppet Show". Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

[Richardo]

48. Rowlf and Kermit predate the Sesame Street "generation" of Muppets

I believe he was one of the originals, along with Kermit. I remember him having hilarious bits on the Andy Williams show in the 1967-68ish time frame. SS did not start until 1969.

[Richardo]

50. Oh: My top 3: Fozzy, Rowlf and Cookie Monster

"My Christmas wish
is a great big dish
of cookies, cookies cookies!"

[xxqqqzme]

46. Rolf or Rowlf was the first

muppet I remember seeing. He was featured on the ancient 'Jimmy Dean Show'. Jimmy 'n the muppet would do a couple of minutes every week. Once I remember Jimmy introducing Jim Hensen 2 the audience

[MrScorpio]

4. I just heard that Miss Piggy and Kermit are getting a divorce

Yeah, Kermit just converted to Judaism.

So he no longer eats pork.

[MaineDem]

5. AN-I-MAL or Janice

Janice, the guitar player, is wicked cool!

[rbnyc]

16. Janice! (nt)

[Rowdyboy]

6. Moi?

Ms Piggy, obviously

[bleedingheart]

7. Gonzo is great too! but I voted for the old guys..they crack me up

and I love the Robert "bob" Marley reference in Muppet Christmas.

[joeybee12]

8. Miss Piggy! Oui! Gotta go with the glamour!

[Emboldened Chimp]

9. What?! I'm the first to vote for Fozzy?

What gives? :shrug:

[camero]

10. Fozzy Bear and Beaker

memememememememememme. WAKKA WAKKA :P

[sleipnir]

11. "It's like some sort of torture to have to vote in this poll!"

Go Stadler and Waldorf

[Breezy du Nord]

23. Two old dudes, right?

They're my second favorites.

[HawkerHurricane]

12. Animal is giving up alligator wrestling...

Kermit: That's good. What's he doing now?
Dr. Teeth: He's taking up bowling.
Kermit: That's a nice, peaceful sport.
Dr. T: Not the way Animal bowls.
Kermit: How does Animal bowl?
Dr. T: OVERHAND!

[Shakespeare]

13. The Jim Henson Studios on La Brea Avenue in Hollywood...

Just about a block south of Sunset. Quaint little complex that looks like a European village, but the BEST part--they have (on top of the front building) a huge Kermit the Frog (my favorite muppet) in tuxedo coat with a cane, doffing his top hat at passing traffic.

It is my number one favorite thing in my neighborhood--makes me smile every time I drive by it (and I've been known to go out of my way to drive past it when I'm in a blue mood).

[brook]

21. Did you know....

that was originally the Charlie Chaplin studio - and later, the home of A&M Records- (in the Mamas & the Papas, Herb Alpert days)?

[Shakespeare]

24. Yup...

It's a great neighborhood. :-)

[Bronco69]

14. I just love

Janice!! She rocks!!

[SiobhanClancy]

15. Oscar the Grouch...

along with his pet,Slimey the Worm:)

[Character Assassin]

17. Boner the weasel

[CanuckAmok]

18. I loved The Muppetones

a series of non-descript Mupper heads arranged Xylophone-style on a table. They were "played" by hitting each one with a mallet. Each one sang a flat "OW." in a different note.

I always imagined John Cage just flipping because he hadn't thought of it first.

Faves for me:

Kermit
Swedish Chef
Statler and Waldorf
the guy who juggled fish
the Mexican Lobsters
Doctor Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

[pansypoo53219]

19. BEAKER!

also like the rat.

[pansypoo53219]

20. BEAKER!

also like the rat.

[Breezy du Nord]

22. Where's Rizzo?

Th rats rock! :P

[Tredge]

25. Mahna Mahna!

duh-DUUHHH-duh-DUH-duh!

MAHNA MAHNA!!!

[moof]

26. Pepe the King Prawn ... OK

[jobycom]

27. ZOOT!!! Love the sax!

[mndemocrat_29]

28. WOKKA, WOKKA, WOKKA!

[Blade]

29. What's green and smells like pork?

Kermit's finger.

Har har har. :)

[Redneck Socialist]

30. The crazy guy who ran around and blew stuff up!

I don't remember his name, damn!

[Redneck Socialist]

37. Crazy Harry?

I think that was his name.

[slackdude]

57. What about the Boomerang Flying Fish Thrower

Anyone remember that guy?

[ComerPerro]

31. Bush

'nuff said!

[Kurovski]

32. Me for Grover, not wait for Gore endorsement.

:-)

[Paragon]

33. Sam the Eagle

Buttoned-up symbol of our country constantly extoling the virtuous entertainment of "Wayne and Wanda" -- and then their wholesome routine is always interrupted by something MUCH more fun.

Perfect.

[scarlet_owl]

38. Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, Lew Zealand.

Lew's the one with the fish and the paper towels in "The Great Muppet Caper".

[ronzo]

39. Dr. Benson Honeydew and Beaker...

some good bits there. I'll throw poor old Gonzo a vote, though.

[MissMillie]

54. These two are my favorite as well

especially Beaker.

Stadler and Waldorf run a close second.

[slackdude]

56. Beaker Rocked!

They were selling these pencils at Starbucks with little muppets on the ends of them, and the Beaker one was the best. All the others were smiling, but Beaker had that trademaked worried look which made it look like he was not particularly comfortable with a big pencil stuck in his ass.

[Aristus]

40. All of them.

My favorite useless talent: Singing "The Rainbow Connection" using the voices of all the Muppets. Karaoke fans know me and love me for it. :-)

[kayleybeth]

41. Animal

always made me laugh.

[Djinn]

42. all of them

but the band particularly rocked; Rowlf, Dr T, animal and the coolest of the cool, Floyd

[slackdude]

58. He was a kickass drummer too

It helped that the human playing his drums was Terry Bozio

[HEyHEY]

43. WOw I go out for a bit and the muppet poll takes off!

Awsome!

[NickB79]

45. Oh yeah

Swedish Chef all the way!

"Tuuuurkey Tuuuurkey"

[HEyHEY]

47. toodaay we cook the hotty dooogy!

[Loonman]

49. Pepe the Prawn

Newest muppet.

[VelmaD]

51. I voted Stadler and Waldorf

because they remind me of what me and my best friend are gonna be like when we're little old ladies together.

I'm also a big fan of Doctor Teeth and Animal because he reminds me of my little brother.

[Southpaw Bookworm]

52. Gonzo

He's good hearted though weird, has a big nose that looks like it's been broken one too many times, and he's always trying to make chickens fly. My kind of guy.

Next, though, I'd have to say Kermie, Sam the Eagle (what a tightassed muppet), and Statler and Waldorf.

[HEyHEY]

55. I guess no-one's gonna vote for the Eagle republican thing

[HEyHEY]

53. only one vote for scooter!

Poor unpopular bastard!
