Does Kermit love Miss Piggy?

[Movies205]

I'm in a heated battle with this other poster on another board about 2 things... Movies aren't cannon and Kermit the Frog loving ms. piggy... I say movies aren't cannon and kermit doesn't love ms. piggy, I'm right aren't I... I suppose the first point is debatable but didn't kermit say he didn't love ms. piggy on some talk show...

It's been called the "Greatest one-sided romance of all time."

I've never though Kermit loved Piggy, well, as anything more than a friend. Maybe a little more, but. During the show, Miss Piggy's always after Kermit, but Kermit never returned it. When Miss Piggy went after other guys, Kermit got jealous, but, then when she came after him...

You know, I really don't know what I'm saying here. Just stick to the top line, and I'll leave it at that.

Kermit and Piggy definitely have a keen interest in one another, though they are NOT a couple and are NOT married. The movies are canon to a certain point, but only if it is working into their history. Some portions of their history is related in the films, but then Hollywood takes over. After all, Kermit says, "Well, Robin, it's sort of approximately how it happened."

I think the closest acknowledgement we've ever seen and will ever see is during the VMC when Kermit comes back to the theater and everything is back to normal. We see him, while unconsciously aware he's doing it, grab the Pig and kiss her.

They definitely have feelings for one another, she more than he, but will only be able to follow through on those feelings when she doesn't come on so strongly--then, I believe, Kermit will give in.

I hope he never does, though, because unrequited love is hilarious. :) :mad:

This is a story about unrequited love! ..... Or maybe it's requited love. ... Never knew the difference anyhow.

Going back to the caonnonness of the movies:

I would say that, The Muppet Show, A Christmas Together, Celebration of 30 years, Muppet's in Space are cannon and Muppet Movie is sort of aproximatly how it happened.

I've wondered about that too. I've sort of felt that Kermit loved Piggy as a friend, like the way he loves Fozzie and Gonzo as a friend. On the other hand, when I was little and saw the wedding in "The Muppets Take Manhattan," I always thought they were married for real. I just realized recently that it didn't count because that was just a movie. It is strange how when you see Miss Piggy on television interviews, she says that they are married, but when you see Kermit on television interviews he says they aren't.

i think they like each other as good friends but nothing more. after all, piggy has gone after guests on the muppet show even when she liked kermit. so i think piggy and kermit like to play games with each other when it comes to them liking each other as more than friends..

aww...I believe he 'likes' her, but he just won't admit it, like my cat....I know he loves me, even when he is scratching me!

Kermit has 'feelings' for Miss Piggy on some level, and her chasing others is either 1) to make Kermit jealous (which he gets) or 2) Because Kermit doesn't show her the affection she wants. Of course, both reasons might apply at the same time, too. Who knows.

She's a WOMAN!! She doesn't NEED reasons (that's what my mom taught me growing up).

I think maybe Kermit has fallen in love with Miss Piggy briefly at various times, but her overbearing personality gets to be too much for him... They're an odd couple if ever I saw one. I think Piggy is definitely more in love with Kermit than the other way around, but Kermit is also generally a lot nicer to Piggy than she is to him...

HA! That's hillarious!

I've never even considered this question, i've always thought Kermit & Piggy although not together love each other. If we go my The Muppet movie (which I consider the only real movie (along with MFS)) where the Muppets aren't acting as though they were making a movie (make sense?) anyway if we go by TMM then it's safe to say Kermit does indeed love Miss Piggy.

I think Kermit likes Miss Piggy but he doesn't want to show it. Look at how on a Muppet Family Christmas he's so worried about her being stuck in the blizzard. When she arrives and sings No Place Like Home for the Holidays I think Kermit's face shows that he's very happy to see her and loves her. I don't know if anyone gets what I'm saying and maybe I'm just weird but that's okay. I just wanted to share that example.

[Fozzie Bear]

It makes definite sense what you've just said, but it doesn't necessarily mean you 'love' someone 'like that' to worry about them in a blizzard.

Look at it like this. Suppose it was someone you were very close to because they're your best friend. It'd be the same effect and you would be smiling and happy, too.

But, I think there's some love there from Kermit to Piggy, I just can't begin to guess on what level. I think he doesn't really 'want her like that,' but maybe doesn't want anybody else to want her either.

I used to know a girl like that! LOL! I asked her to go out a few times and we had lots in common and so I discussed us going together, but she told me "But you're my friend, I don't date friends!" Of course, I retorted, "So, you love thine enemies?!" At any rate, I stayed her friend and if she found out I went out with someone, she grilled me about the date and the girl and everything. She wanted her cake and icing, too; and Kermit is the same way I think: He wants his ham and bacon too.
