I know my video isn't a traditional muppet video, but I was going for both Muppet type video and Ventriloquest video, where the puppet always insults the puppeteer.

Nice for a first shot. Quick on the jokes, and I liked your Big Bird impression.

I'd recommend keeping single-shot YouTube flicks to a 2:30 minute minimum... most people don't have the patience to watch for longer than that.

Is Frankie your first puppet ever?

yes he is. I know it's really bad looking, but then again he is my first puppet. At the time when I made him I found these directions online, where it said to use styrofoam, which I did and it came out really bad. However, for my next puppet I plan to use soft foam. Since Frankie isn't exactly the the best looking puppet, I plan to make another film, which is adaptation of the classic story, "The Ugly Duckling", which I call "The Ugly Muppet."

I stapled my first puppet together. He turned out similar. I used white cloth too!

After I got better at making puppets and using sheet foam, I re-created him with better materials. That was kind of fun. I should post pictures sometime.
