Who's your favorite Muppet ?

I like these guys just because they are pimpin'!

Got to put a word in for "old brown eyes": Rowlf...

I've been watching a lot of muppets with my daughter recently. There are a lot of his scenes on the DVD which where only shown here in the UK, that are some of my favourite parts. "tit willow" with Sam is just hilarious, and totally about performance. Thats what's so great about him - he's so subtle, says so little, but acts so brilliantly. There's a great sketch where he just plays a Mozart piano sonata - no gags, no lines (apart from grimacing at a wrong note), but it's so funny, because his concentration and playing are so well acted.

Mine is the Count because I like to count the money after church.

Oscar is next as I am partial to dumps, thrift shops and tag sales.

Cookie Monster because he has his priorities straight.


On the Muppet show, I have a soft spot for Fozzie as I like to tell a corny joke or two now and then.

My father-in-law is a dead ringer for one of the old guys in the balcony - the one without the mustache.
 
I like the Chef...and Rowlf...aand...animal...
and my sesame street people were cookie monster...and the grouch...and the count...

does snuffleupagus (how do you spell that, exactly??) count as a muppet? because that would make him my all time favorite, ever...
