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.

When I was a kid, it was Animal.

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

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

Beaker & Professor Honeydew.

Waldorf and Statler are probably runners up

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.

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

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 😁

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

It's so hard to pick just one. They all have their moments.

...except Miss Piggy, who has always annoyed me beyond measure.

I do love how they did Bohemian Rhapsody, and got around having muppets sing "mama, just killed a man. Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead" by having Animal repeatedly yell "MAMA!"

He was, undoubtedly. But in my memory and my conception of the two characters, their interactions were always like this . With Miss Piggy the angry diva or upset girlfriend to Kermit having a chuckle. It might actually have been that that happened maybe a couple of times ever but as a little kid you don't have the best grasp of nuance so that's the impression it formed. I also had obviously a lot less appreciation for characters having roles and functions so even though that exchange was actually really funny and very memorable since I still remember it even today, as a child I only take it on a very literal level, so Miss Piggy isn't a diva character that creates funny situations by being quick to anger and not tolerating anything she considers beneath her, instead she's "mean" or "fussy" you know? Obviously different as a grown up, but it made me not like the character as a kiddo.
