Who are the muppets parodies of?

[Joggy]

Rowlf appeared in Muppets Tonight, Muppet Racemania, MuppetFest, and... the Weezer Behind The Scenes special. Which was probably the biggest TV performance he's had in years. Sounded a bit like Bobo, but it was still good ol' Rowlf.

Anyway, I found another parody. Wayne and Wanda. They sound just like Abu and Esther (sp?) who sang "You're My Lady". I've also seen a 60's couple sing on TV and they looked/sounded like W&W. Might have been the same singers.

Scooter finally came out of retirement in "Muppets From Space", but apparently hasnt been seen on film since.

...yeah, but then again there hasn't been much Muppet films since MFS for Scooter to be appearing in!

Which is why if he's not in the Muppet Christmas special, I'm gonna be ticked.

Bravo! I totally agree. What have we gotten, movie wise, since JH's death? One "original" story and two well-known stories. We need another original story, like TMM and TGMC.

There was this one episode of the Muppet Show I saw where there were these 3 people, one that looked like Jim, one that looked like Frank, and one that looked like Jerry and they were singing the Tomorrow song. I think those were parodies.

I heard that Miss Piggy is a Parody of "Peggy Lee" In Fact Piggy's real name is Miss Piggy Lee
