What’s a “pupper”? Is that a puppet on uppers? If so, I agree with Fozzie. Drug use among puppets has risen exponentially over the past few years. We certainly don’t need an entire show glamorizing the problem. It took decades to get puppets to stop freebasing lint.
The Swedish Chef is real, isn’t he? I mean, just look at his hands.
Duh, of course he is! 
Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem are my favorite band.

KERMIT FOR PRESIDENT!!!**
Eh, why not? The only difference between Dubya and Kermit is the fact the Kermit’s skin is green. Otherwise, they’re both two puppets with someone else’s hand up their ass making their lips move!
Oh, you mean like every other celebrity interview? 
Seriously though, I saw one of the muppeteers live (Steve Whitmire as Kermit and Ernie) at an on-campus appearance, with unscripted Q&A from the audience. He’s pretty quick-witted. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re all pretty skilled at improv. And you don’t play the same character for years without being able to hold a conversation in-character.
So, like I said, probably like all the other celebrity interviews, partially scripted, but not fully.
Ok, interviewing them on television is one thing, but now you’re just being ridiculous.
Obviously, the Chef, as a naturalized citizen, is not eligible for vice-president .
This sounds like an old vaudevillian routine- “Swedish Chef, if you were elected and there was Supreme Court vacancy, who would you nominate?”
“Bork bork bork!”
Oh, phew! Hey, mate, he had me worried for a minute there. 
I dunno about this, Ooner, but interviews with Oz and Henson show them speaking of the Muppets as if they were real. They have disctinct personalities, apart from those of the guys with their hands up muppet asses.
It all boils down to “how do you define real?”
IMHO, the muppets are as real as you and me. Well…me, anyway.
Of course Muppets are real, Gorgon Heap has been a member here for quite some time. He just doesn’t flash his status around so he can post like any other normal Muppet. 
I think the interviews with Kermit and Piggy are a riot. THey’re often very adult and clever. Piggy was talking to Al Roker about getting her stomach “welded” on Thanksgiving.
I like living in a world where popular puppets get some time on the nightly news.
God people, can’t we just have a little bit of fun and goofiness in our lives?
I’m SEYMOUR I’m PEPE WE’RE TWO OF A KIND!
LIAR! TAKE IT BACK TAKE IT BACK TAKE IT BACK!!!
Interestingly, as far back as when Jim Henson was Kermit, there would be interviewers who would point the hand microphone to Kermit’s mouth and had to be gently redirected so that the conversation could be recorded.
Damn. Maybe one of the grumpy old men in the balcony?
The muppets are real, Ooner is not!
Well, I’ve seen muppets (in person, even). Has anyone ever seen Ooner?
I’m still bothered by Miss Piggy shilling for Dennys though.
Statler and Waldorf?
Maybe not, but I’d love them to “do” a State of the Union sometime.
