no, but what about the Muppets doing a video with Weezer. they're emo (emotionally driven punk). and, like how Dr. Tooth said 'he can listen to both punk and frank sinatra'. me, i like both the Muppets and Punk Rock. punk rock is the music that i live for, and the Muppets are the, uhh, characters that i live for.
my future career includes both punk rock & puppetry. i'm gonna make an entire-puppet-tv show about a group of punks in high school. here are the characters -
Phil - Phil is based on myself. He listens to punk, loves girls, and has an off-the-wall sense of humor. His favorite bands are Rancid and NoFX. He also loves surfing the net and filming stuff with his video camera.
LOOK: Green felt for skin, red triangle nose, mohawk, Don Music-ish glasses, NoFX sweatshirt. Working hand puppet.
FACTOID: This puppet was originally made when I decided to
do a rock music video show with my camcorter. I only did one
episode, which I have on tape. I took the puppet apart
because it was put together poorly (i didn't even sew! i used
a glue gun!)
Leroy - Phil's best friend. A black guy who doesn't mind being the only black guy in the 'group'. The other black guys at school wear Fubu and listen to rap. Leroy neglects that. His favorite band is the Ramones.
LOOK: Brown felt for skin, wool for dreadlocks, a Ramones hooded sweatshirt. Rod puppet.
Jake - Jake is almost like Bunsen Honeydew's punk rock son. Jake's a brainy punk who spends most of his time in his basement making freaky expiriments. One of his freakiest ones was a mistake. He was looking in his microscope at some genes and that's when he accidentaly hit his elbow on the ON button on his Blow Up Ray Gun (blow up as in make bigger, not explode). The only thing the ray hit one gene...
LOOK: Yellow felt for skin, short Liberty spikes, lab coat. Working hand puppet
Geena - Geena is the gene that Jake accidentally blew up. She was ugly when formed, but after telling Jake about her being a female, he put some of his mom's make-up on her. She lives in Jake's basement under the stairs and Jake can never tell his parents about that.
LOOK: Green, slimey, lumpy skin, three SEXY eyes (with eye make up on them), sharp teeth (but she doesn't bite people), lipstick. Full body puppet.
Washington - Phil's tacky brother. Older than Phil but Phil and his friends are the ones that usually pick on him. He listens to soft rock and (OH boy) show tunes. he's a devotee of Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow. He's almost like a white-puppet-version of Carlton from the Fresh Prince Of Belair. He teases Phil, Leroy, and Jake all the time by saying words like "Rad" or "Oi!" and, usually, they throw him across the room (slapstick!). if not, they throw him up into the air and he get's his head caught in the ceiling. Nonetheless, Phil loves him (but Leroy and Jake don't).
LOOK: Cap, Brown vest, white button up shirt. he looks like a teenage version of Sam from Today's Special (rubber, blonde hair, big nose, squinty eyes, but NO mustache)
FACTOID: When I made the design for Washington, I had NO
intentions of him being a 'show tunes' fan. I made him
because I wanted to make a Noreen Young-like puppet.
Noreen's my 2nd favorite puppeteer (next to "You-know-
who). That's when I made Washington. He was originally
gonna be a punk, but I thought that he doesn't have the
punk appearence, even though being a punk isn't about
looks. I decided to make him a show-tunes fan.
Isaac - I wanted to make a store for the Phil, Leroy, and Jake to always shop at (kinda like Hot Topic). I wanted to make a clerk for the store, someone who they always talk to. Here's the funny part - HE'S AN 85 YEAR OLD MAN WITH A MOHAWK! While most old guys like Duke Ellington or Count Basie, enjoys listening to punk. He likes every punk band from Good Charlotte to Minor Threat to the Cockney Rejects. He walks with a cane, talks in a quivering old man voice. He's not grumpy a la Statler & Waldorf. He's only mean to preps.
LOOK: A bit like Statler, only with a mohawk, He also a spike-collar, a metal-bead necklace, and two studded bracelets (one for each hand), and a Bad Religion t-shirt.
FACTOID: I got the idea for this character when I was at Hot
Topic. See, the girl that was working there looked like she was
my mom's age! I decided to make a character like her only
TOTALLY exagerating!
