Was still joking with friends about this idea… when one of them made me consider another evil…
Jim Hensons Muppets of the Rings!!!
Kermit, the ranger.
His nephew the ringbearer.
Fonzie his brave sidekick.
Ms Piggy as Arwen and Eowyn. (He’s in trouble.)
Oscar the Grouch as Gandalf (He has the eyebrows.)
Please, someone shoot me before I twist my brain again.
If Grover is going to be Gollum, then Gollums old hobbit chum (whom he strangles when he first finds the One Ring) has got to be that restaurant customer that’s always trying Grover-the-waiter’s patience.
Bert and Ernie, as has been already mentioned, are naturals for Merry and Pippin.
Sam is a bit of a stumper. Due to the blatant homoerotic nature of his relationship with Frodo, Miss Piggy was my first thought, but her attitude is better suited to Gimli. “Hiii-YA!”
Gollum should be played by the Cookie Monster.
The lead Nazgul and former Witch King: The Count. “…Six…Seven! Seven rings for mortal men! Ah ah ah ahhh!”
Galadriel and Elrond should be played by Maria and that bald black guy, respectivly.
This is a cool thread idea, Narile, but you ought to ask a mod to change the thread name to something more descriptive. I skipped it the first few times I saw it because I thought it was about that insipid David Spade sitcom.
