Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

[Mister Muppet]

I haven't ever heard this before, but has anyone else ever heard the Swedish Chef accidentally being called "The Swedish Chief" by mistake?

The two words look so similar, they might accidentally get confused....

I never heard him be called that before but I have heard him be called the sweetish chef

Such further confusion might inadvertently lead to the "Sweetums Chef".....

The lucky thing there is that he is clearly a chef though, which kinda defuses most of that confusion. Now if he was wearing a police uniform, on the other hand...

Oh, aveleyman, your lack of research amazes me. You're usually so good at this stuff. Why is there a picture of Floyd under Bill Barretta's name? Why is Jim Parsons listed as Walter instead of Peter Linz? Parsons only played human Walter. And why are Kevin Clash and Brian Henson in your credits? Also, why are a handful of the celebrities credited before the Muppets?

*Facewing* Look, I know Janice has big lips. That doesn't mean her name is "Lips"!

Now I get your point.

1. They could not find a picture of Pepe the Prawn.
2. They did not research about Peter Linz
3. I agree, the Muppets should be credited before the celebrities.
4. What? When there is lack of research, you don't know who Janice is, or Floyd, or anyone else. All they know is they know the celbrites more than the Muppets. Ugh!

I'm kind of surprised. Aveylman usually does really credible work. My guess is that the page for TM was made prior to the films' release (the images from the film are all from trailers), with most of the information taken from the IMDB. Whoever was in charge of that page just never went back and changed it.

Has anyone ever gotten frustrated if people referred to & as "Burt" and Ernie?

Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit featured Burt Reynolds,
not "Bert Reynolds", and when they designed the Win, Lose or Draw studio set
to resemble Mr. Reynolds's living room, the emcee was Bert Convy, not "Burt Convy".

Even though the two names sound the same, one misspelled letter can make quite a difference.....

My oh my...that is about as worse as anything I've seen.

Sure. I mean, "Burt" is just so different. Even though it's a common mistake, still very annoying.

So I just got done reading a snippet online that stated that the Muppet Show is in its 44th season.
