Today is shaping up to be annoyingly busy, but I found these little gems the other day and wanted to share (originally from TMZ). I know they’ve been around for a bit now, but they still make me smile.
Particularly these few:
This really makes me wonder if muppets aren't actually based on real people...
The resemblance is uncanny
Now, truth be told, this last one kind of makes me sad. You see, Rizzo was one of my favorite muppets – mostly due to his role in the classic The Muppet Christmas Carol. But now, if I can’t see him without thinking of Ron Jeremy, the movie may be ruined.
Only time will tell.
So who’s your favorite muppet?
And, if you made your own photo like the ones above, who would you consider to be your muppet doppelgänger?
I’m still considering that one.
*I love it when Wiki has the answer: “The word “Muppet” itself was said by Henson to have been created by combining the words “Marionette” and “puppet”; however, Henson was also known to have stated that it was just something he liked the sound of, and he made up the “marionette/puppet” story while talking to a journalist because it sounded plausible.”
Hahahaha! This is awesome! My favorite was and still is Animal.
Always a fan of Fozy Bear. And the Sweedish Chef, he was pretty cool too.
Yeah dude, Rizzo was awesome. My favorite was gonzo but I can’t remember why.
Now my favorites are the old men who tell the jokes.
They’re hilarious.
I’m all original and just love Kermit the Frog… And I loved him alot so don’t want to ruin him by comparing him to anyone.. And these are so cute! I hadn’t seen this before!
i loved gonzo too! i think because he reminded me of grover, who was my favorite sesame street muppet
I second the old dudes who tell jokes from the balcony. I don’t think I got it before. But now that I’m getting more and more crotchety, I finally understand.
I love Kermy, especially when he pulls his lips in odd mooshed motions.
The two grumpy old guys!
Gonzo is also my favorite. I remember when the Muppets did a Star Wars episode. Gonzo played Darth Vader and Ms. Piggy starred as Princess Lea.
Good times!
