Hi it's Matt and I have been a huge Muppet fan almost my whole life. So today I am going to list the top 10 Muppet characters. Only characters from the Muppet Show, Muppet movies, and Muppets Tonight will be on this list. Which means it excludes characters from Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, and anywhere else Muppets live. So now let's get the list started:
#10:Walter - Walter is a fairly recent character who was introduced in the 2011 film simply titled "The Muppets". The film starred Freaks and Geeks actor Jason Segel and his Muppet brother, Walter. Walter's dream was to become a Muppet and he finally achieved that when he met Kermit and friends at the Muppet Theater.
#9:Thog - The Muppets have always had full bodied characters ever since the earlier episodes of the Muppet Show. Anyway, when I think of these characters one in particular always comes to mind:Thog. I know that Sweetums is the most popular, but I personally like Thog better because I think he looks a lot Muppet-ier.
#8:Swedish Chef - For those who don't know, the Swedish Chef is just as his name suggests, he is a chef from Sweden who prepares dishes like Swedish meatballs. The sketches with him are always funny and I think that the voice Jim Henson used is what made those so hilarious.
#7:Pepe the King Prawn - Some people don't know this but Pepe is not a shrimp. That was confirmed in Muppets from Space when he said "I am not a shrimp, I am a king prawn, okay". But still, Pepe is my favorite of the more recent characters that were introduced during the 90s.
#6:Crazy Harry - Crazy Harry is one of those underrated characters that used to be popular, but now almost no one knows who he is. If you don't know who I'm talking about, Crazy Harry is a guy who likes to blow things up and would always do so whenever somebody used a word like "bang" or "blast". You also might not know, that his original name was Crazy Donald but was changed because Harry suited him better.
#5:Beautiful Day Monster - Beautiful Day is a furry blue monster who first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in a sketch where he tried to ruin a girl's beautiful day, which is where his name came from. He later appeared on Sesame Street a few times in the early 70s and finally became a recurring character on the Muppet Show.
#4:Fozzie Bear - Fozzie is one of those characters that is super funny and very enjoyable to watch. I believe that Frank Oz did an excellent job performing him and I really enjoy the character, whether the audience thinks he's funny or not.
#3:Gonzo - Gonzo is an alien creature who loves to perform strange stunts like jumping into a giant bowl of oatmeal or eating a rubber tire set to Beehtoven music. Gonzo has always been one of my favorites and I used to watch Muppets From Space all the time and sometimes when they're playing the movie on TV, I'll turn it on just to watch the hilarious adventures of Gonzo.
#2:Kermit the Frog - You expected Kermit to be #1, well, let me say even though I like Kermit a lot number is a character I like much more. But first it's time for some runners up, these are characters I thought about putting on the list but didn't because I don't like as much as the next character. They are:
Beaker
Scooter
Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphones
Lew Zealand
Mnah-Mnah
Dr. Teeth
Janice
Link Hogthrob
and
Kermit's nephew, Robin
#1:Animal - Animal has always been my favorite Muppet, I love how funny he is. He is also my favorite member of the Electric Mayhem.
Well, that is my list. See you next time on the Matt show!
