Finally getting around to animating this one, and I'm going all out.

Would anyone like to recommend their favourite muppet for the background? (Think niche, a lot of the big names are involved in foreground gags already)

Comments

Surge

Rizzo the Rat, or the Yup-Yup aliens.

Kelli Barnes

Sweet-ums should be there maybe they are trying to use him as a scape-goat. What about Bunsen and Beaker or Rolf.

Callum

Angel Marie from Muppets Treasure Island would be an amazing juror, or even counsel 😂.

Steve Boswell

+1 for the Yip Yips, they'd be great for a reaction shot 😄

Meapyboy1234567

Uh i just searched up muppet names and i liked this one lol. The Flying Zuccini Brothers.

Spider Perry

Prairie Dawn was really common when I was little but she got retired from Sesame Street...

Steve Boswell

Kermit, but News Reporter Kermit (wearing his trenchcoat and hat) reporting on the court case.

BearRodeo

The multiple Talking Heads Big Suit Kermits.

JAN Sandwich

Sweetums is a must, I think. Lew Zealand could be a fun pull as well. And, of course, anyone from Electric Mayhem. But for a potentially super "obscure" non-Muppet Show muppet (and one of my faves) I'd have to say Cantus, the minstrel from Fraggle Rock. Though any of the Fraggle Rock muppets would be fun to see, honestly. Huh, you don't really notice just how many muppets there are until you try to start thinking of your faves, obscure and otherwise. Really looking forward to this one and pointing excitedly at the background!

Charles Arthur

Clifford, the host of Muppets Tonight! It's weird how sidelined he is nowadays...

River Taylor

I would love to see Uncle Deadly pop up

Strengthening Weakener

I think the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come from Muppets Christmas Carol would be a fun one, since he looks like the grim reaper. Maybe he’s sitting behind Kermit as he dies at the end, or maybe he’s part of the jury because he collected Fozzie Bear’s soul before this. There’s lot of potential. This is a top tier MSN bit, and I can’t wait to see your spin on it!

Sam Rapine

Crazy Harry, because what murder case isn't accentuated by the judicious application of high explosives?

Well-Spoken Rambler

The Ragg Mopps, or perhaps the thing from Windmills of the Mind

DeepBlueInk

"Don't make me bang this gavel!" "DID SOMEONE SAY BANG"

Sam The Skeleking

The Musical Whatnot Marvin Suggs. Or the Muppet version of Jason Segel from The Muppets (2011)

llmilktray

Came here to suggest Angel Marie. One of my fave gags from that film

llmilktray

I've got to say the ghost of Christmas present, if for no other reason than he's the spring image of me and I'm vain like that

This is a placeholder

Fozzy and Kermits dad from The Great Muppet Caper, or Wayne and Wanda from The Muppet Show.

Phillip Solano

So there was a sketch with these alien muppets called Merdlidops. Those would be fun. And while in space, a great pair would be the Martians from Sesame Street.

Erin Storm

Gonzo's chickens make everything better 🙂

Kat

Not as niche, but just in case - Pops, Scooter, Beaker & Dr. Bunsen, and the Swedish Chef.

DeepBlueInk

"I move to throw out this case" "I move to throw out the whole show!" OHHHHHOHOHOHOHO

Ruffled Wrenaissance

The popcorn shrimp actively being cooked from the Sweedish Chef 'popcorn' sketch

Daniel N.

Don't forget Sweetums!

Flits Man

The cabbage that hated Scrooge

Daniel N.

Does David Bowie's Goblin King count? 🤔

Stefan

I always did love the Mnah Mnah group

DeepBlueInk

Honestly I'm not sure Sesame Street counts

Jane Del

Captain Link Hogthob from Piiiiiiiigggsss iiiiinnnn Spaaaaaaace

Giant Speck

Many Sesame Street characters technically are Muppets and were created by Jim Henson.

Mark

Oh, man, this is my time to shine. Sesame Street is technically canon in the Muppet world, as Kermit would host a segment on Sesame Street called "Sesame Street News". https://youtu.be/5aRAW42E2V8?feature=shared Also, the sesame Street muppets would occasionally cameo in the background of the Muppet Show segments (dancing at "At the Dance" or just in the background). For obscure Muppets, you definitely want Wayne and Wanda. They were part of the original crew, but were written out for some reason. Oh, and no official crossover or cameos exist linking the Labyrinth universe to the Muppet Show, so I think we have to leave that one out.

Jay

Bobo the Bear The Newsman they used on some of the news channel bits (maybe a court reporter?) Hilda the seamstress

DeepBlueInk

Yeah like I couldn't imagine Elmo in the background of a muppets sketch, but I could be convinced

Mark

No Elmo, please, unless you're going to frame him for the murder. 😂 He is the worst.

Mitch Okun

Lew Zealand and his boomerang fish!

Ro Faulkner

It's a courtroom so you practically have to include Joe the Legal Weasel

Tom J

Have you got Biscuit Monster, Cookie Monster's British Cousin who looks identical to Cookie Monster but wears a brown bowler hat?

Mitch Okun

Oh and maybe Astoria, Waldorf's wife (who conveniently looks like Statler in drag!)

Emily Moyers

He's already been mentioned here, but just putting in another vote for Pepe!

Dzee Szed

Sweetums and he's so big that his head goes out of frame

KFM (Keeping Friendship Magic)

Believe it or not, Skeeter is my favorite muppet, but I do think Sweetums should definitely be in there! Sam the Eagle could be fun in your style too...gasp imagine a fusion of Sam Reich with Sam the Eagle...I could see it lol

DeepBlueInk

The problem is I THINK Sam has to be the only human in the cast

KFM (Keeping Friendship Magic)

Good point. Something maybe to keep in mind for the future though. Could make for a fun little gag if it ever fits.

Fil Kube

Emmett Otter? (And Ma, and the accursed drum?)

Namara Ashina

Does sockpuppet drawfee count? (Doesn't remember any niche Muppets)

Kappa

Uncle Deadly has already been brought up, so I second that and raise it to the other more monstery muppets seen in episodes like Alice Cooper and Vincent Price. There's like a pyramid head muppet among others

Sam Rapine

Yes, but animating the bulge has proven hazardous to human health.

Elizabeth Gall

@DeepBlueInk You are absolutely correct

Joey T

I was stopping by for the Yipyips. But I also thought of the other frogs from Muppets take Manhattan. I think they’re Jill, Bill, Gill. And Phil was Kermit.

Joey T

Or Kermit at Sardis w the mustache in the large coat with the rats.

Michelle Fandrich

Another vote for Sweetums and a vote for the flying fish guy. Also the skating penguins from Muppets Christmas Carol

Elizabeth Gall

I have to put in a good word for my buddy Dead Tom from Muppet Treasure Island. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Dead_Tom Mudwell, crying over Dead Tom's limp form: Dead Tom's dead! Long John shot him! Walleye Pike: But Dead Tom's always been dead. That's why he's called Dead Tom. Mudwell: Oh. *drops Dead Tom*

Ellen

I'm sure Rizzo's already accounted for, but I always loved his counterpart Yolanda from Muppets Take Manhattan. Oh, and Beauregard.

Stephanie Ramirez

Might not be niche enough, but I love Sam the Eagle. "It's the American way!" *Gonzo whispers to Sam* "It's the BRITISH way!" *Sam slowly glances around confusedly*

DragonKarma

“Big-Fat-Ugly-Bug-Face-Baby-Eating O'Brien?” “*AYE*”

Hannah K

Michael Caine and/or Tim Curry, as honorary muppets. As quoted from u/LCLeopards on r/muppets: > I've heard it said that hMichael Caine’s and Tim Curry’s muppet performances are so revered because Michael Caine treats the Muppets as world class actors, and Tim Curry treats himself as another Muppet.

MacCrocodile

Garibaldo, the terrifying Brazilian Big Bird (as he originally appeared, of course)

MacCrocodile

Marvin Suggs and the Muppaphone

Finn S.

Though that suggestion may not be niche lol

Michael Thomas

Zam from one of Game Changer's Sam Says episodes could be a fun cameo considering all your Game Changer animations, though that really depends on if you want to include non-Muppet puppets for this.

James Marx

Wayne and Wanda, the sappy couple who always piss off Sam the Eagle

Jacob Haller

I asked a friend who is a huge Muppet fan and they had a couple of ideas: "My first thought is Digit, the android from The Jim Henson Hour. But he was one of the main characters on that show, so I’m not sure if that’s obscure enough (even though it’s largely forgotten and he hasn’t been seen since)." I asked, how about from the Muppet Show proper? and he said: "This is harder to answer because I feel like anything on the Muppet Show is less niche by definition. But that might be my own bias there. So I'm going to go with Muppet Paul Williams." I believe that Digit is the guy with the sticking up hair who's getting zapped here: https://youtu.be/veulmV3hLrU?t=528 and here's a video where Muppet Paul Williams harmonizes with real life Paul Williams: https://youtu.be/6Qjtj9lliXU I could not have been more delighted that they were worried that Digit and Muppet Paul Williams might not be obscure enough for your purposes.

Phoenix Bryan

The Mahna Mahna song guy and/or the back up singer creatures from said song

Jacob Haller

My friend who is a huge Muppets fan thought this was a GREAT suggestion!

Freakservo

I don't see too much love or attention for Clifford these days... =)

Benedict Ide

So the Mah Na Mah Na guy and the Snowths are pretty recognizable, but there's also the *original* Mah Na Mah Na guy from the 1969 sesame street episode and those two girls in white dresses, who as far as I can tell never showed up again after the more famous designs took over. The whole bit is somehow much ruder when it's two people who can talk and not two of Birdo's cousins.

Ellen

If we're going this deep, I also request Delbert the La Choy dragon.

MacCrocodile

The Jim Henson lookalike from the Country Trio (see: To Morrow)

Laura Dugan

Bean Bunny from Muppet's Christmas Carol!

B Dots

I don't think Rizzo is niche, but I'm mentioning it anyway. But also, the two martians (with their telephone)

DeepBlueInk

Send my apologies to your friend because when I meant niche, I meant "don't say Kermit or Animal". And instead of getting like Bobo The Bear and the like, I got MUPPET PAUL WILLIAMS

DeepBlueInk

Tim "Human Muppet" Curry counts, but I probably won't include him for the sake of having to explain it in the comments section

Seg

I don't know if you're counting Sesame Street characters, but if so Mr. Johnson would be a great choice.

Matt Killmon

I don’t know if Janice has been specifically mentioned, but she was always my favorite Muppet from the Electric Mayhem.

MacCrocodile

You asked for Muppet opinions, and by god, you're gonna get some Muppet opinions.

Trisha Lynn

I second this nomination.

Trisha Lynn

Your friend is a gem to be so worried about how niche his character choices were. Please tell him that a random person on the Internet said so. :D

Trisha Lynn

I love Skeeter. She's the best. I watched a ton of Muppet Babies as a kid and I loved her tomboy energy. She's like Peppermint Patty in how much she loves sports, and I love both of them.

Trisha Lynn

Maybe as co-counsel on the prosecuting attorney's side of the courtroom?

Shelb

another not super niche but I've gotta shout out some lil' guys: the doozers and Slimey the worm & his family

Jacob Haller

I think we could all use more Muppet Paul Williams in our lives. 😄

Annie VanderMeer

Rolf is my guy. What's not to love about a cute fluffy doggy who's a monster on the piano?

Warren (Stephen) Rose

Niche? Muppets from Space seems an underepresented film... I guess there was a man in black style bear (recurring cast member Bobo playing Agent Rentro) and Gonzo's alien family?

Rambl1ngR0se

Wilkins and Wontkins from the wilkins coffee ads. I feel like they count

Jon

For sure

qbNone

I was LITERALLY going to send you this clip. Soooo excellent!

qbNone

Completely agree!

DowdMusic

Rowlf, the 1st muppet. Kermit is a pretender. Rowlf is the alpha and omgea muppet

DowdMusic

He is the very 1st muppet!
