Scooter, we hardly KNOW YA!

[PhsychoChimp]

In Muppet Babies, Scooter was a nerd. Like Velma Dinkley from Scooby Doo. But, when he got old enough to be a Go'fer, he was seen dancing to hip music, tricking others, bribeing, and in the Muppet Movie, said he can't wait to get his board out there.
Scooter along with Shakey Shanchez, and Nigel the Conductor, along with the Frackles, seemed to help shape and name the Fraggles... So, Scooter can be one of the first 'FRAGGLE' like being.
So, I'm probably looking into this to much... >.>;

in the Muppet Movie, said he can't wait to get his board out there.

When did he say that, and what board are you talking about?

Might have been in the scene at the studios, when they're getting the set built. It's either a sign that says 'The Movie' or the black and white clapper board: 'The Muppet Movie, Scene 1, Take 1.'

And yeah, a few times we've asked if Scooter might be part Fraggle. The first-part-of-season-1 Gobo looked a bit like him.

You know, I'm glad someone brought up the subject of Scooter and what we know...we really know very little about him. Does he have a girlfriend? A history? A future? What makes him tick? I'm pretty sure he's not a Fraggle...but what is he? I always figured he was a human/Muppet...but who knows?

I use to wonder all the time about what Scooter was suppose to be back when I was really young and watched Muppet Babies. I was actually more curious about his species than Gonzo's. Probably because it never was implied in any way. i used to think he looked like a bug. Maybe he is just a non-descript creature.

His parents aren't mentioned anywhere, so maybe he's just a red headed step child!

His uncle Grosse looks like a regular human Muppet, so what the heck is he?

 

[CensoredAlso]

I still say he's half Human, half Fraggle. Now whether HE knows this, that's the question!

Well, depends on whether or not Scooter and J.P. Grosse are actually related by blood. J.P. could have married someone in Scooter's family (though why any woman would want to marry a man like J.P. is beyond me), or maybe J.P. was a stepbrother to one of Scooter's parents, or something.

When they past the ocean on the EM bus.
