Muppet parody puppets on Crank Yankers

[leliebel]

I personally like Crank Yankers, I like humor that goes over the line sometimes. I dislike overly politically correct humor, like Disney's. Muppet's have always gone a bit farther than them.

And parody is a form of flattery anyway.

Does anyone have screenshots of this? I'd love to see it. I only saw a few episodes and it isn't aired in the netherlands anymore.

I already posted this over in the puppetry forum, but speaking of Muppet parodies/replicas ~ http://www.bear-town.com/backstage_pages/video_berniechess.htm (the video on the page may take a few minutes to load if you have a slow connection).

This is an old clip from something I was involved with back around `98.

Hey that pig would really look like Peter Mansbridge if you were to get him suit coat and a few tufts of hair just over the ears. Post a pic or 2 of him when your done Buck. Pleeeeease

Thanks, I'm going to be putting pics of him and a slew of other puppets I've been doing up in the next little while. Right now there are a bunch (including the Peter Manspork puppet) that are 80-90% done. I actually haven't worked on him since I took that picture.

I saw those parody puppets on Crank Yankers, outside the doors of 321. The Kermit parody didn't even remotely resemble Kermit and the Big Bird parody looked like him, but was poorly designed -- you could SEE feathers falling off it.

Maybe it was molting season?

It was a cool-looking frog though.

Did it ever cross your mind that the feathers falling off might have been part of the "gag"?

What do you expect? All the Crank Yankers puppets are ugly. Poorly made, muppet rip-offs. IMO, if you're going to make fun of something, do it with skill.

Hehe. It might be nice to point out that the man who made some of the Crank Yankers puppets has been known to check out these boards ocassionally. In fact, he's the same guy who made the puppets for Avenue Q, and has performed on numerous ocassions on Sesame Street.... hmmmmmmmm.

I was going to mention something like that, but decided to stay out of this one.
