Your favorite Jim Henson character

Or Mahna Mahna haha

Yes but he really was only in the one song so.....

Or Penguin #35. How could you forget Penguin #35???

Humm oddly enough penguin 35 turned into penguin 21 by season 5 so I didn't know what number to give him so I left him out....

Great why is he your favorite?

I just love the enthusiasm Jim brought to him. He seemed like a more hyped up Rowlf in a way. (Both played keyboards, had raspy voices, etc). Also it's something to do with his style of dress. So much going on with his outfit. I think part of that energy Jim put into Dr. Teeth would later influence Convincing John. (Also considering Dr. Teeth is supposedly inspired by real life singer, Dr. John, maybe some name play with that, or maybe i'm reading too deep into it.)

Also, gotta love the gold Tooth.

Just like anything it varies by the day. Today I'll go with ; it's a sin not voting for though.

I think an interesting battle is vs. . I think I gotta go .

One of 's finer moments:

One of the things that totally sticks with people is the music, though has definitely had his moments too!

The SD VHS-rip is the icing on the nostalgia cake. Jim just wanted to get in TV, and he just happened to be an amazing puppeteer and just happened to be an amazing singer...

is just so caring and so nonjudgemental; he's that shoulder to lean on.

I got to agree with you about Rowlf. He dose hold a special place in my heart.

Sorry for double posting,but I find something odd. No one has voted for Link or chef!!! Now I can kind of understand Link to some extent. I mean at times he is not my favorite but he can still drive Piggy nuts which is something I always enjoy. Chef on the other hand, I don't understand why he has not gotten more votes. I personally think out of all of Jim's characters he is the most fun, and most funny. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Novelty characters, one-joke characters can't win this contest. It's honestly kind of vs. .

Meanwhile Rowlf takes the commanding lead. I would like to see this done with other puppeteers, including SS/other characters.

I for one am for . is so hilarious!!! I think I've memorized some, if not ALL the Muppet Newsflashes.

Nobody's voting for Kermit.

Yes I plan on doing this in the Sesame thread and other puppeteers in due time.

Rowlf is awesome! I have heard so many times that Rowlf is more like Jim then even Kermit. Could you imagine what the Muppet Show would be like if Rowlf where the MC?
I wish that Rowlf would kind of go back to his roots and do gust spots on one of the Late night talk shows like Jimmy Fallon.
