Actually, you know what reminds me of Gonzo on that site? The Sweet Cuppin' Cakes segments. That is just so Gonzo. If he made a cartoon show it would be exactly like that.

I will say, Andy Dick reminds me of Dr. VanNeuter...

Baikinman from Anpanman kinda reminds me of Oscar, though Oscar doesn't intentionally ruin everyone's day as bad as he does.

I've been really liking a show that someone made on the internet called "WarioWare: Tooned". Here's the link to where the collection of it.
http://behonkiss.newgrounds.com/flash/

Anyways, the characters on this Flash Cartoon remind me tons of the Muppets. Here's who I think reminds me of who, and how, by a quote they once said in the show.

Wario: Pepe ("Finally! A fart joke! I deem this show good enough to watch!")
Mona: Janice (You didn't even make it up yourself. That was the ending to that crappy Power Rangers movie you watched, only with us in it!")
Jimmy P: Dr. Teeth (I love you Jenny, but-but... I LOVE THE MUSIC MOOORE!)
9Volt: Robin ("Your complaining by having this argument with me!")
18Volt: Sweetums ("Word.")
Orbulon: Gonzo (Ya see? Random Japanese craziness.")
Dr. Crygor: Dr. Van Neuter (Oh hello! I didn't see you come in! Today, we're gonna learn the alphabet, then forget it again!")
Ashley: Miss Piggy (Please, I'm much older than you!)
Dribble: Bunsen ("I didn't even have to raise my arms into the heavens and ask who would want to publisize us. I got it easy.")
Spitz: Beaker ("Look at me. Do I look like I was dead at one point? DO I?")
Mike: Zoot ("I am a janitor. Math isn't part of my job.")
Red: Floyd ("Heh. Wicked.")
Kat: Skeeter ("Ah yes, but it's been rephrased, so it's much better!")
Ana: Annie Sue ("Isn't this an invasion of our privacy?")

Ever since I was a kid, I liked to compare the Muppets with Hanna-Barbera characters.

Yogi Bear - Kermit
Boo Boo - Robin
Cindy Bear - Miss. Piggy
Ranger Smith - Nigel the Orchestra Conductor
Huckleberry Hound - Gonzo
Snagglepuss - Fozzie Bear
Quick Draw McGraw - Rowlf
Babalooey - Scooter
Mr. Jinks - Marvin Suggs
Pixie and Dixie - Rizzo and Tattooie
Hokey Wolf - Fleet Scribbler
Dingaling - Shakey Sanchez
Mildew Wolf - Lewis Kazagger
Augie Doggy and Doggy Daddy - Waldorf and Statler
Snooper and Blabber - Bunsen and Beaker
Top Cat - Leon
Breezly Bruin - Beard
Sneezly Seal - Lindberg
Yakky Doodle - Bean Bunny
Chopper - Bobo Bear
Magilla Gorilla - Sweetums
Squidly Didly - Lew Zeland
Peter Potamus - Newsman
Hardy Har Har - Droop
Lippy the Lion - Wally
Wally Gator - Beauregard
Dick Dastardly - J.P. Grouse
Muttley - Animal
Fred Flintstone - George
Wilma Flintstone - Mildred
Barney and Betty Rubble - Wayne and Wanda
Gazoo- Waldo
Winsome Witch - Hilda
Penelope Pitstop - Annie Sue
Peter Perfect - Link Hogthrob
Prof. Pat Pending - Dr. Strangepork
Dynomutt - Digit
Hong Kong Phooey - Clifford
Mr. Creeply - Uncle Deadly
Jabberjaw - Sam Eagle (neither of them seem to get any respect)
Shaggy - Swedish Chef
Scooby Doo - Muppy
Velma - Vicky
Fred - Flash
Daphne - Spamela Hamderson
Grape Ape - Thog
Captain Caveman - Timmy Monster
Cattanooga Cats - Electric Mayhem
Hillbilly Bears - Gogolala Jubilee Jugband
Johnny Bravo - Johnny Fiamma
Johnny's sidekick Carl - Sal
Johnny's Bravo's Mom - Johnny Fiama's Mom
Dexter - Nigel the Director
Cow and Chicken - Andy and Randy Pig
I.M. Weasel - Dr. Phil Van Neuter
I.R. Baboon - Mulch




I always imagine the HB characters doing the same things the Muppets do in their shows and movies. Snagglepuss telling jokes like Fozzie, Huckleberry Hound doing crazy showbiz stunts like Gonzo, and Cindy trying to win Yogi's love like Piggy and Kermit.

That is too good to just be a fan project. I Wish Nintendo paid them for the script and reanimated it out of flash.

YES. I really wish Nintendo would do that. I've been thinking that it would make a perfect TV show.
