Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

Still that's pretty good they knew that. I've seen way worse. XP

Sure. Forgetful Jones (nowadays, anyhow) is pretty obscure. No doubt the contestant grew up on Sesame.

Yesterday, I saw a comment about "Ralph" and "Fonzi".

I would say "you've got to be kidding me." But unfortunately I know your not. :/

Anyone else pull their hair out when they hear people refer to the puppeteers as "the voice of?" We ALL know they do a lot more than just do a voice. Kinda sounds almost demeaning, if you ask me. Not that there aren't cases where someone just does the voice, but for the most part Puppeteering is more than just that.

Probably cause they think it's like "animation" where you just stand behind a mic and it's just your voice. Not that there isn't work that goes into animation but I think puppeteering is obviously more involved. It's just people who don't understand the art form of it I guess. I always say "they are performed by whoever."

WHAT? I can't believe they only know Ernie and not "Bert." Gosh, they always misname Ernie's friend that gets annoyed at his actions. Sheesh!

Yeah well...I am choosing to give them the benefit of the doubt and they were just in a hurry typing.

Fast typers, eh? Well, that is one of the ways to misname Muppets.

Saying that Jim was forced by the network to include a laugh track on TMS when he didn't want to.

Don't you remember those classic sketches when Bert's sister Gert came over?
