OK, I'll have to add some of the misconceptions I've heard from people:
Y'know how the Swedish Chef has been running around with a clever a lot lately? Well there's now people thinking that he runs around and chops people's heads off with it.
One time two of my friends (who were casual fans), decided to dress up as the Yip-Yip Martians for Halloween. And people kept commenting in the background to others, "Hey look, it's Cookie Monster!" for the blue one and "Hey, it's Elmo!" for the red one.
People are really confused about how the Muppets are performed. Some people think that they are on sticks and the puppeteers hold up these characters on sticks. One person even thought that there was a person inside every single Muppet and was shocked to find out that only the big ones like Big Bird have people inside of them.
I used to think Crazy Harry's name was Bruno. You have to admit, the two do look alike.
I was looking at Youtube comments for the Muppet Movie, and here are a few misconceptions that showed up with that:
Robin's name is Tiny Kermit.
Frank Oz has always performed Kermit.
Jim Henson trained a bunch of people to do Kermit's voice.
Jim Henson was able to still do a fine Kermit in the 2011 movie before he died.
Follow That Bird is Jim Henson's first movie.
Kermit was lip synching in TMM
Bernie the Agent was played by Don Rickles.
Arnie is the name of Dom DeLuise's character.
Elton John was the El Sleezo piano player.
Brian Muehl was the El Sleezo piano player.
Disney has always owned the Muppets.
Jim Henson performed Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Big Bird and Oscar.
Frank Oz performed Oscar.
Bernadette Peters played the myth woman.
And then people always misspell Muppet names:
Kermet
Mrs. Piggy
Big Birth
Fauzy
Fozzy
Fonzie
Fozy

Ernie and Bert were always my favorite characters!
