mine is a tie, Rowlf and Bunsen. they are both big factors in my love of both music and science. yes, the Electric Mayhem are cool, but Rowlf is always who i think of first when i think Muppets and music. and as for Bunsen...i tried to make a "sister detector" once. it was the epic, rube goldberg type device, that basically went off whenever my sister came towards my room...when it backfired, and was set off by my mom i realized the error in patterning my experiments after Bunsen. though there were some "flight" experiments for which my sister became my own personal Beaker...

I have always been a fan of Frank Oz' work in general. From Animal, who has always been a personal favorite, to Marvin Suggs, who now that I watch the Best of DVDs gets more and more hilarious to Grover and Cookie Monster. There are just so many things that Frank did to take the comedy of the scene to new levels. So it's hard to choose a favorite, but I guess I would go with Animal.

My Favourite muppet is Sweetums. If you read other messages you will notice he crops up alot. Some people think I have a crush on him.

This is not true!!!

Okay it is true -:D

Gonzo, Animal, and Beaker. But Kermit, Piggy, and Fozzie always hold a special spot in my heart!

Mine is of course the Almighty Cantus. The Wise, bold, and forever well-spoken Fraggle of the Minstrels. My other favorites are:

Dr. Teeth - My Second fav. Muppet. Forever groovey! The rest of the Mayhem are all very cool, but Teeth...he's just it for me.

Yorick (from Sam and Friends) - After seeing the "I get So Hungry" Scetch at the Museum of Radio and Television in LA, I was hooked :)

Statler and Waldorf - Possibly the greatest comedic duo ever.

Beaker - What's not to love? I think he was so funny in Muppet*Vision. Beaker Rock!

...and every other Muppet ever. What can I say? A Muppet is a Muppet, and I love them all :D

My favorite always was and always will be Gonzo, although I've got a soft spot for Rowlf and Dr. Teeth.

Technically though, as an entity, Kermit means the most to me. Hard to explain, but he's character who is so easy to relate to and care about. He's a very special muppet to all of us.

Cantus Rock

I agree with you Darth. Kermit will always have a special place in all of our hearts, no matter who your favorite Muppet might be :)

Because technically, Kermit is the center of the entire Muppet universe, in a way.

I guess in a technical sense...He's definitely the figurehead of the the group, his face is the symbol of the JHC, and he is most definitely the most well known of the troupe. I guess its all how you look at it. True fans such as ourselves might argue that there is a set of characters that are the center of the universe. Others may argue there is no center at all. Still others would say Jim himself was the center. But yes, to the common world, Kermit is the center of the Muppet universe. :D

And everyone has to love Pepe in some way shape or form....okay?

Besides Kermit, I really love Rowlf, Scooter, Grover, Wembley, Floyd, Boober, and Gobo!

Ernie's cool too.

I don't think I could pick a favorite. If I absolutely had to choose it would be Rowlf followed by Red the Fraggle.

Cantus Rock

Welcome to the Forum newcomer! :) Good choices. Oh and to answer your question, Green is harder to be than Pink. Pink can be difficult at times, but over all, Green is the harder of the two. Hope that helps (hehe)

This thread could pop up every month and I would still love to post in it. While Gonzo is the one I obviously identify with the most, my faves are:

beaker
pepe
digit
clifford
swedish chef

wembley, scred, telly, tutter, and frackles should be in their too;)

Jeez...lemme think.

I have a soft spot for all of Jim's characters, but I also like Gobo, Wembley, Sprocket.

Along with many SS characters: Cookie, Bert, Grover (Almost any Frank character)

The Great Gonzo

08-19-2002, 01:23 PM

My favorite, as you might guess, is Gonzo. I think he really embodies much of the silliness that makes the Muppets great. I also have soft spots for Kermit (I agree--center of the Muppet Universe) and Fozzie (endearingly insecure). As for minor players, I love Pepe, Statler & Waldorf, and Beaker.

Wow, it's hard to choose!

even though i see myself and a lot of my friends in all of the muppets, my favorite without question is kermit. since i was two and first saw him on seasame street 28 years ago,hes the one i connect with the most.

Skeeter Muppet

08-26-2002, 04:45 PM

Scooter is my favorite Muppet, although if she really was a Muppet, I would have to say Skeeter.

Cantus Rock

Eureeka('s Castle)!

I was just waiting and waiting for someone to pick Skeeter as their name. Hello hello, and welcome to Muppet Central! :D

What, no Fraggles?!!? :D I think you should slip 1 or 2 in there for good measure Abbess :D

How forgetful of me! :D Since you convinced me, I might as well tell. My favorite Fraggles are Gobo and Wembley. ..... And Cantus. :) ;)

GONZO (he's just like me)

Gonzo-Maybe We Could Sell the show w/more special effects like exploding socks

Janice-That's such a lame idea

Gonzo-Oh Yeah

Floyd-Hey Stop Yelling At Her

Fozzie-He Wasn't Yelling

Gonzo-Yes I Was

Scooter-Oh Gonzo Don't Make Trouble

Animal-FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
