    Mine is when people keep spelling Fozzie's name wrong. :o Just the other day someone spelt it "Fossie." I'm like what is he a dinosaur? :rolleyes: Or that guy named Jim who performs Kermit. I mean really??!! "That guy named Jim." Oi vey! :jim:

    Yea, I know! I find that really frustrating.:grr: Whenever I talk to someone who is not a muppet fan, I always try to mention Kermit, because even if someone doesn't know what the muppets are, they should at least know who Kermit is!

    Speaking of that, before I knew what the Muppets are, I know who Kermit is.

    Fossie...I've never seen that mispelling before. Interesting.

    And this person claimed they were a big Muppets fan. (´Д` )

    Don't even get me started on the Youtube comments those Studio DC shows got.

    (referring to the scene with Beaker)
    "Mi mi mi mi! I love that chicken thing!" (whaaaa??)
    "Hello, Cermit!" (So doesn't that make his name "Sermit"?)
    "Lol that Muppet girl said 'don't worry, we won't bite!'" (Well, at least they knew Janice was a girl).
    "This was a special for the Muppets a.k.a. Sesame Street" (Yes, because we clearly saw Elmo, Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, and Cookie Monster)
    "LOL I love the puppets!" (You said the P word!!! Traitor!)
    "I love Mrs. Piggy" (She's not married! - yet)
    And my favorite "The Muppets ruined this show!" (That's right, blame it on the characters you're not even familiar with).

    How about what's that pigs name? Ai yai yai!!! ><

    La di da di dum, la di da di dum, what's the name of that pig?
  10. muppetfan24/7 Well-Known Member

    Wow! I would never ever say the p word. Ugh! That is a secret for all of them. Gosh! Her name is "Miss Piggy." What is wrong with you, non-Muppet fans. She's not married, even though she believes she sort of is to the frog. And gosh! Come on! We always say that sometimes our relationships get complicated.

    Thank you for the feedback, Mo. You are awesome!

    Just was looking at comments on a TMS episode...someone's three favorite characters include Miss Poggy...

    I dunno if they were going for Miss Piggy or Miss Poogy, but regardless, that's pretty pathetic...
  12. Mo Frackle Well-Known Member

    Might have been a typo. After all, the "O" is pretty close to the "I" on keyboards.
  13. Hubert Well-Known Member

    True, true.
  14. Pinkflower7783 Well-Known Member

    Actually Piggy admitted when she was on Jimmy Kimmel last year that her and Kermit aren't married.

    I have to say I HATE when people call them "puppets" I mean I know Jim used to call them that all the time but I just have a problem with other people saying it. Lol! Or I really dislike when their on a talk show and I've seen people comment "they must feel really silly talking to puppets" I'm like "THEIR REAL!" :rolleyes:
  16. Mo Frackle Well-Known Member

    Agreed. And that line in "Muppets' Wizard of Oz", 'You're auditioning for the Muppets, the most powerful puppets in Hollywood.', a lazy piece of writing that really makes me cringe.
  17. Pinkflower7783 Well-Known Member

    That whole movie makes me cringe. :p

    Maybe it's just me, but I actually think that line had some clever hidden double meaning to it... sure, it blatantly references that the Muppets are actually puppets (then again, all Muppet movies have been known for meta references, breaking the fourth wall, destroying the fourth wall, moving on and breaking the fifth wall, etc), but when you think about it, it's also kind of a jab at Hollywood in general... you know how they say politics are full of "puppets"? Well, Hollywood's full of 'em too.
  19. Pinkflower7783 Well-Known Member

    Except these "puppets" are of much higher class. :)

    I also have a shirt that is mistakenly thought of as Big Bird, when it is quite obviously Wembley Fraggle. I can see how it's mistaken I suppose, but when surrounded by Gobo, Mokey, Red, and Boober, most irritating. :sigh:
