My Six Favorite Muppets

Anyone who is anyone has been a fan of The Muppets at some point in their lives. Hell I used to watch Muppet Babies and I loved that show. I think that just about anything that Jim Henson created had a quality worth watching.
So even today when I catch a Muppets flick on TV I’m reminded how much I like these little puppets. So much so that I decided to rank them.
Here are my 6 favorite muppets
Animal
It’s nearly impossible not to have Animal in here. Come on. The guy can’t even speak! Plus he’s a hell of a drummer.
Dr Teeth
Easily the coolest muppet out there. Imagine if Dr. John were a muppet. That’s what Dr. Teeth would be.
Gonzo
When you have a penis for a nose it doesn’t get much cooler than that.
Dr. Bunson Honeydew
Beaker is cute, ha ha. But Bunson is the badass of this duo. Plus he has no eyes, which is amazing.
Zoot
He’s right up there with Dr. Teeth. Of all the muppets I’m pretty sure this is the one that is a full time stoner.
Waldorf and Statler
Yes I know there are two of them but you can’t have one without the other.
Gonzo will always and forever be my fav.
My vote goes to Sweetums the hairy eight foot tall cross between an ogre and viking. Don’t tell me that a big scary thing like that w/ a name like Sweetums isn’t awesome.
What about the Swedish Chef?! He rocks! Sing along with me!:
Yorn desh born,
der ritt de gitt der gue,
Orn desh, dee born desh, de umn
bork! bork! bork!
🙂
My list wouldn’t be complete without Sweetums, Rolf and Kermit. Rowlf has to be on there, he sang You and I and George.
“In it’s one recording, You and I and George sold two copies. I bought one, and George bought one…where were you?”
I can’t remember his name but I think it’s Sam…the eagle?? A muppet that serious makes me laugh everytime.
What about Crazy Harry? He was the one with the TNT detonator that was blowing stuff up all the time.
Top 6 (in no order)
Statler and Waldorf
Sweetums
Sam the Eagle
Pepe the King Prawn
Rizzo the Rat
Swedish Chef
Oscar the grouch sounds just like my Uncle Kenny. Kinda looks like him too.
My favorite muppet is Yoda. He counts, because he has Frank Oz’s hand up his butt and making him talk.
I will always love Ralph. Ralph was Jim Henson’s favourite character, and the one he most identified with. They actually retired the character after Henson died, only bringing him back for specials until quite recently.
What? No love for fozzie bear? Woka Woka Woka!
