Classmate calls Piggy "Trashy!"

[Fozzie Bear]

A certain word on this thread has been edited to read as "loose," because I think we can all get the idea from that what the class quote was.

Miss piggy, loose? Nahh... never..

But, really.. I don't get how you could think she is trashy.. i think some people mis-interpret things.. and take things out of context.. but ya cant always win.. somebody, somewhere will always do that..

I think Piggy is loose, just the way she acts around male Guest Stars..... but she is NOT trashy once so ever. How could she be?

You will notice that Miss Piggy is always angling for a relationship with Kermit, but not JUST a relationship with Kermit--a real live married-with-a-ring sort of relationship with him. Miss Piggy has respect for herself, and she doesn't want to just be a fling. If all she wanted was a no-strings-fling, why would Kermit resist so hard? Kermit resists and Piggy insists because this is not a casual thing for them. Kermit doesn't want to commit to a relationship with Piggy because he worries a lot about the responsibility of making someone else happy--this is why he bears the mantle of leadership so reluctantly at times. (And why all of the Muppets feel they have to protect and shield him a little from the harsher realities in life.) Piggy, for all her pretend flirting--which is usually just to get Kermit riled or to get something she wants (like a bigger role from John Denver in the Christmas special)--is basically a one-frog pig. She's never seriously wanted anyone else. (And why would she? I mean--he's really adorable, even when he's cranky.)

Kermit is definately one adorable frog. I just had to sign up so I could tell you how nice it is for me to read your thoughts on the muppets. I think you've hit Kermit and Piggy's interactions right on the head, Ruahnna. I love the way the Muppets look after each other in subtle little actions amongst all that ever-present chaos. I definately agree with your take on Kermit as reluctant leader, and Piggy's goal-oriented flirting.

I just love that tangled relationship they almost have.

Oh what a tangled web we weave....

I just love that tangled relationship they almost have.

Last night when I was forcing my best friend to listen to a rehash of this topic--um, entertaining my best friend with witty banter about the Kermit and Piggy relationship, I used the phrase "wants to have a relationship" and she stopped me and said (she is very insightful), "Miss Piggy doesn't WANT to have a relationship with Kermit--she DOES have a relationship with Kermit." And she proceeded to wax very eloquent on the fact that their relationship is based on the fact that they know each other, are attracted to each other, respect each other's talents (snarky frog comments while in denial notwithstanding) and are even friends. This is not a hook-up, a flavor-of-the-month (oh, just restrain yourselves--try!), nor one in a long line of serially monogamous realtionship. This is, as Fozzie might say, "real." Not bad for a person who generously tolerates occasional (okay, frequent) rants about my favorite inter-species couple.
