Muppet Madness (Round Two)

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.

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. :slight_smile:

    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.

  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!

  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.
