Animal gets the most laughs from me, but Sam the Eagle comes in a close second. They’re like the two archetypes of people in Asheville.

As a kid I loved the Swedish Chef. But I’ve since developed quite a fondness for the two old guys in the balcony (yet I don’t know their names).
Their names are Statler and Waldorf.
Beaker!
Toss up between Swedish Chef, Beaker, and Animal.
Statler and Waldorf, followed by Oscar the Grouch. All are role models for me.
Hopefully my handle makes it obvious…
- Sweetums
- Crazy Harry (plays with dynamite!)
- Sam the Eagle - I swear they had my father in mind when they designed him.
- Coooookieeeeee!
- Animal
- Bunsen and Beeker
But the grand prize goes to:
Oscar the Grouch.
Gotta be the Great Gonzo.
Beaker!
Preach it. That’s the first thing that came to my mind.
Fozzie Bear, hands down!
I love several of them, though. Beaker, Rowlf, Kermt, Swedish Chef, The Chickens, Piggy, “Pigs In Space”, Gonzo, Statler&Waldorf…
It made it awfully hard to take Yoda seriously, dammit.
Bert and Ernie (they are so sweet) followed by Sam The Eagle. Pretty much covers the whole politcal spectrum, there, eh?

Gotta put a plug in for Mr. Snuffluffagus. And for Robin the Frog. And for Dynamite Harry - Ahahahahaha!
I’m another Bunsen and Beaker fan. Of course my favorite episodes were those there Beaker would manage to get revenge on Bunsen for all the crap he’d put Beeker through. The way Beeker laughed when that giant vacuum sucked Bunsen up into it was downright frightening. 
(BTW, what’s up with getting Muppet Movies on DVD? Don’t you people already own them all on LD? What’s wrong with you weirdos?)
Another Rowlf fan here.
He has a subtle sense of humor I can appreciate.
“There’s no use complainin’
and it’s useless to hollar
if she’s a beauty,
she’ll get under your collar
we grin and bear it
cause the nights are long
I hope that somethin better comes along”
But I will say, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Meyhem is the coolest band name ever.
This is the best topic ever!!
Put me down for Gonzo and Grover. I still chuckle about Grover in his waiter job (“Hey Charlie, burn another one…”) and about Gonzo wanting to go to Bombay, India to be a movie star instead of Hollywood because he didn’t want to do it the easy way.
Oscar. Interesting, not one vote for the big yellow feather duster. heh heh heh
Rowlf.
“I used to be with Jimmy Dean…nobody remembers me anymore.”
Sweetums, or Statler (who’s clearly superior to that hack Waldorf)
