Muppet Madness (Round Two)

[Parthol]

It’s time for Round Two of Muppet Madness! Elmo survived a close shave in round one – how will he fare against Dr. Teeth? The Newsman won a resounding victory over Zoe, but now the heavyweight Ernie stands between him and the Sweet Sixteen. Will Fozzie Bear’s performance be bolstered by the fact that now I’m spelling his name right?

I’ll keep the voting booths open on this round until Saturday evening.

1. Kermit the Frog (Rizzo is scrappy, so it’d be a hard fight. But never doubt the li’l green dude’s resourcefulness.)

2. Crazy Harry (That’s like pitting Casper the Friendly Ghost against Freddie Kruger!)

3. Dr. Teeth (Teeth is just too cool.)

4. Aloysius Snuffleupagus (All Snuff would have to do is sit on him!)

5. Cookie Monster (Floyd is too laid back, Cookie is hyper-manic. He’d eat him alive.)

6. Ernie

7. Oscar the Grouch

8. Animal (This’d be a tough fight too, but I’d put my money on Animal.)

9. Big Bird (Ha! Big Bird would just have to step on Robin.)

10. Count von Count

12. Statler and Waldorf

14. Bert (be very wary of Bert. Bert is evil.)

15. Mahna Mahna

16. Dr. Bunson Honeydew (The Dr wouldn’t hesitate to use Rowlf for some lab experiment that would draw the ire of PETA.)

It’s getting now to the place where I have to choose between two characters I like. I didn’t like having to choose between Kermit and Rizzo, or Cookie Monster and Floyd.

I love Animal. Such a simple, basic guy. “Animal, I said BEAT drums! Not EAT drums!” And when Kermit though Animal’s new hobby of bowling sounded safe enough, Floyd replied, rather dolefully, “I don’t know man. Animal bowls overhand!”

I have a soft spot for the Electric Mayhem and no particular love for Ernie. It was hard voting against Beaker and I still miss the Yip-yips. Mahna Mahna will go forward in their place.

    ETA: Looking over the other answers, I simply don’t get the overwhelming love for Big Bird. He’s big and stupid and simpering. I hated him when I was a kid, and I still hate him. Ah, well. Guess I’m just weird.

1. Kermit the Frog
   I almost went the other way just because I do like Rizzo but am almost positive he won’t win it.

2. Crazy Harry
   Explosions versus more cute and furry? Come on!

3. Dr. Teeth

4. The Swedish Chef
   Cult wins with me, almost always.

Frank Oz Division

1. Cookie Monster

2. The Newsman

3. Oscar the Grouch
   Hard one. Am I more cranky or more into randomness and woobies? Gah, coin toss.

4. Animal
   Dave Goelz Division

5. Big Bird
   Both a bit annoying and cutesy, but Big Bird has nostalgia going for him.

6. Count von Count

7. Fozzie Bear
   Don’t care that much. Coin toss.

8. Statler and Waldorf
   Not even a real contest!
   Richard Hunt Division

9. Zoot
   Why not, right?

10. Herry Monster
    Only thing which could make me pick Bert is having him replaced with his Avenue Q counterpart. Boring.

11. Sam the Eagle
    Dammit this one sucks. I like the only sane one gig, and he’s referenced in RHPS callbacks. But Mahna Mahna gets stuck in my head so damn much my inner voice must love him. Uhh… uhh… dammit. Coin toss.
