Didn't really want to, but had to drop a dislike on that top 5 worst list.

Everything nowadays is Chef, Beaker and Animal: one-trick, monosyllabic ponies... bleh; just shows how fickle the culture is. Gimme Piggy and Rowlf for the depth.

I love Beaker and Chef, but I will give you Animal, who I've never been the biggest fan of. I'd definitely take Rowlf instead - and Behemoth!!!!

Don't kill me, okay, but I've honestly never been the hugest fan of Robin - he's probably my least favorite Jerry Nelson character. :embarrassed: I suppose it's his voice that does it for me - even though I know Jerry gave both Emmett Otter and Gobo Fraggle voices very similar to Robin's. I dunno, there's just something about him that gets on my nerves... :sympathy:

Fair enough, but to call him a bad character... really, there was no reason a "worst" list needed to exist; they could've spent that time on a top 5 Sesame Muppets list or something.

0/10 not enough floyd

eeehhhhhh.......honestly both videos seem like they were made to get views. the worst one seemed like it was pulling random characters out of a hat and the best was just the generic fan favorites.

It would have been more interesting to see their personal top favorites, if they even know enough about the muppets to have any

I mean, given the guy's choice of words, I don't doubt that Kermit is his favorite. He'd be mine, too, if Behemoth didn't exist...

Floyd would probably make my top five as well, as would Sam, Crazy Harry, Lew Zealand... not really sure who that fifth would be. Nigel the band conductor, to complete Sex & Violence trio. :big_grin:

I mean, it's subjective; type in "Muppet characters" on Google and half the images are of Beaker. :eek:

To get off-topic, Nigel is one of the more interesting Muppet characters: you go from potentially being the host of TMS to being a really obscure background character; the fact he was also a Jim character adds fuel to the fire... give me that fanfic pls: Nigel with a switchblade behind his back approaching Kermit in a dark alley... they should've used him instead of Constantine.
