Question about the Muppets

@drewtwo99

Between the Gonzo is an alien thread and this one, methinks we Dopers might be spending a wee bit too much time pondering the canon of the Muppets.

And not enough time compiling and dissecting the apocrypha? Hmmm, you may be right. Perhaps we should be more dedicated fans.

Miss Piggy had a strong enough personality that it didn’t really matter whether Kermit realized that they were an item: She said they were, and therefore they were.

That’s a myth! A myth!

Now that brings a tear to my eye (from all the laughter). The idea of Muppet apocrypha gives me hope in humanity once again.

Yeah, but she’s my “mith”!

I vividly remember watching that when I was a kid – I was seriously worried that Kermit was going to fall for the trick! How he gets out of it (and how they set up the Boomerang Fish thing earlier in the episode) is brilliant, and may get my vote for Funniest Muppet Scene Ever. I was crying from laughing so hard.

If they ever do get married and have kids, I hope they don’t ever let Elmo babysit!

Really?

I used to wonder if Miss Piggy would either lay eggs or give birth to tadpoles, and have to keep them in the bathtub, and get in the tub to allow them to suckle from her eight teats, or if she would give birth to a litter of green piglets.

I thought the only cannon on the Muppets was the one that Gonzo was shot out of.

I used to wonder if she’d become “Mrs the Frog” or keep her maiden name.

Kermit often called her just “Piggy,” so I think that’s her first name (or nickname, if you want to get technical). It’s that like that Southern custom of placing a title even in front of a first name. So she’d be Piggy the Frog, I think. (Her real name being Petunia the Frog nee Pig, I think.)

It’s actually Pigathia Lee, according to the wiki. Besides Piggy being the meglomaniac she is she’d keep her maiden name, at least for professional purposes.

Which movie? Were they playing other characters in the movie (as in, for example, Muppet Christmas Carol)? What was the nature of their relationship?

@kaylasdad99

Which Muppet Movie are you talking about? In the one that had the song The Rainbow Connection, Kermit was head over whatever-the-back-of-a-frog’s-feet-are-called in LU-U-U-UR-R-RV-V-VE with Piggy, and it broke his little green heart when she ditched him in the restaurant..

While there have been numerous movies featuring the muppets, only one was called The Muppet Movie.
