Muppet Movie Poster Parodies

[rurulesunc]

A friend just sent this link to me. Apparently Fark is having a photoshop contest to see who can make the best Muppet parody poster. Some of them are really great.

They spelled Bert wrong on the Hannibal poster

Looks like too much fun to pass up. A worthy challenge for any Photoshop fanatic.....

I'll post a link for mine as soon as I finish fine tuning it.

Some of them are quite good. But a lot of them are pretty poor jobs. At least spell the names right. Calling him Fozzy isn't bad if anyone did it. But more than 2 people spelt it Burt, and I've never seen someone spell Beeker with two ees.

Oh no? Try hanging around here long enough to see people constantly tweaking the word/name Beaker so they can have it as their user name.

BTW: Any good posters someone would care to describe for us blind batty folks? Thanks.

Hi... Thanks go out to RedPiggy for providing these descripts of various entries.

Part 1:
The Boondock Muppets. A scratchy and blotchy amber background. All the colors are decreased in intensity, making it almost grayscale. On the left, Animal,
with a lowered head, pointing one of those long-barreled pistols toward the bottom of the screen, like its going to shoot one in the groin or something.
On the right, Floyd, looking a little more amused, also holding a long-barreled pistol (sorry, don't know its name).

Shallow Hal. Back, spine and front of DVD cover. Piggy's face is used for the blonde woman, Kermit as Hal. Piggy is wearing a short-sleeved pink shirt
and a knee-length light pink skirt and tan sandals with inch heels. All references to the real actors are replaced with Kermit or Piggy. Kermit is wearing
a gray short-sleeved shirt and dark gray pants on the back and spine, while wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt with small black polka-dots and brown
pants on the front of the DVD cover. Only the face is inserted for Piggy, while Kermit's arms are also colored green.

Grumpy Old Men. Credits rewritten at top: Statler, Miss Piggy, and Waldorf (in that order). However, on the left of the snowy image is Waldorf, in green
winter cap and brown jacket. Piggy has shorter hair, a blue winter cap, long-sleeved red sweater with white floral patterns. Statler is on the right, next
to a distant shack. He is wearing a cap wrapped with some sort of brown ear coverings and a dark coat. All 3 characters have snow on their heads and arms.
Their legs aren't visible in the snowdrift.

Eraserhead. Black background. Grayscale picture of a shocked (although I guess he always looks that way ) Beaker's head. A light gray spattering that looks
like spilled sugar is behind him.

Man on the Moon. Top of poster: "Hello, my name is Andy and this is my poster." "Andy", aka Fozzie's head and hands pasted onto Jim Carrey's body, wearing
a brown pinstripe jacket over a light blue shirt and brown pants. A tight spotlight emphasizes Fozzie's head. Bottom of poster: "Fozzie Bear is Andy Kaufman
in Man on the Moon".

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Trippy black inkblots at the top left corner become reminiscent of vultures above a desert landscape. In the foreground,
a Dahli-esque Gonzo's neck twists up to a much larger head, complete with soft brown hat, tremendously large mirror sunglasses with the Strip in the reflection,
and a cigarette in the right of his mouth.

Elmo: a homespun muppet murder story. All lettering in red. The whole poster is done in knitting-style, with orange and red diamonds within thick red bands
as borders (with blue background and white stars at the corners). To the right is an upside down car. In the lower center of the poster is a face-down
Elmo, with red thread leading to a large needle "pinned" into the poster.

Hi... Again, thanks go out to RedPiggy.

Part 2:
No Country for Old Men. At top in white lettering: There are no open balconies. A grayscale picture of Statler looms over a picture of Waldorf, the pic
of Statler dissolving at the nose into a color photo of Waldorf running across grass, shotgun in one hand and a case in the other, wearing a black jacket,
light blue button-down shirt, and blue jeans.

Cloverfield: Muppets Take Manhattan. A cloudy sky, a Statue of Liberty with its head ripped off and long scratches on the back. The NY skyline is smoking
on the right of the poster, with a Sweetums image among the breaking skyscrapers.

30 Days of Peanut Butter Sandwiches (I think the poster gets Count and Mumford mixed up ). A red background with black spatterings. Crudely drawn "Ah ah
ah" written on the left. A grainy grayscale image of Count laughing dominates the poster. Title of poster written like blood at bottom.

The Beekercist (hey, that's how they spelled it). Iconic image of the brownstone entryway, where an eerie light illuminates a silouhette of Beaker as the
Exorcist, stainding beside the streetlight in between a cast-iron fence.

SuperGrover Returns. A gorgeous background of Metropolis as a lighted port city on the right and huge waves on the left. SuperGrover, looking like Alex
Ross painted it, dramatically flies toward the sky with his right hand thrust up and out and his left arm bent back near his side. Above title at bottom
is the SuperGrover logo, the lightning bolt with a red G over it.

The Silence of the Ham. Yellow lettering of title at top. Light source illuminating only a picture of Piggy's face, with amber eyes, her mouth covered
with the yellow/brown moth with a grayscale image of Kermit's head and collar where the skull should be on the back of the thorax.

Gorgbusters. White lettering at top, with the O replaced with Jr's head surrounded by the red circular No logo. Jr Gorg is center in front of the tool
shed, where tiny Fraggles can be seen in various nooks and crannies both in the shed and behind some plants. Jr is holding a wooden pitchfork. In the foreground
are three ghostbusters (brown jumpsuits with black ghostbusting equipment): Wembley (rearing his proton blaster back), Boober (pointing his to the right),
and Gobo (pointing his at the camera).

Geez, you wouldn't BELIEVE how many porno flicks are entered...

Ahem.

The Dark Knight. A very out-of-focus image of Bert as Joker, wearing a long overcoat and black gloves, as he draws a bloody smile where his mouth would
be on the "glass". To the left of the smile is "Why so serious?" written in blood. At the bottom is the title with the Batman logo.

Honeyraiser. In white lettering to the left: Demon to some. Angel to others. Dark smoky background with chains on the left, dangling from a wall. Bunsen
as Pinhead, complete with pins and gridlines on his face, holding the gold/brown half-open puzzlebox. Title at bottom in red lettering with gold outlines.

Some dude totally ripped off my Grover/Scarface poster!

 

[Colbynfriends]

ROTFLOL. I liked the one that parodyed "The Birds" and "Big Fish"

 

[puppets_etc]
