Beaker and Bunsen: The Chicken or the egg?

[Beauregard]

Here is a chicken and egg questian I would like to pose to you all.

Was it an experiment of Bunsen that made Beaker start to Meep? Or was it Beaker's Meep that so annoied him he was forced to hurt his assistent and find it funny?

Hmmmmmmmmm....

Given their dynamics I'd say it was an accident. It just seems to me that there is something besides the usual boss/assistant thing in their relationship. Like in the sketch where legs stretch and says "I never knew you wore stripey socks." It's almost a s/m type thing.

Um...isn't it just that Beaker talks as such and Bunsen is a crackpot-ish yet lovable professor? I don't think that he hurts Beaker on purpose, and I think Beaker meeps because thats nature...

Yet, nothing can disguise the fact that Bunsen takes a manic-like pleasure in the pain of his assitent. Could this be a guilt-turned-vengence?

My thoghts are that it was some kind of accident that caused Beaker from having a deep voice, to having a deep Meeping voice. Now, in the real world, Kermit encoraged Bunsen to experiment again and try to cure it, and as such, the next experiment caused the Meep to be a squeak. Whereas in the alternate universe, his voice is Meeps,but low.

No?

Beaker has always been a Meeper.

I hate to use it as reference, but even in the Muppet Babies cartoon (ugh) he meeped.

Bunsen doesnt mean to hurt Beaker. He just does and there is hilarious outcomes!

 

[Beauregard]

Any psychiatrist would agree with me. That laughter does not match with accidently pain for Beaker. Have you seen the Banana Sharpener sketch? He did that on purpose. Why? I do not know.

 

[Uncle deadly]

he didnt do it on peupose. He sort of didnt see Beaker.
