Considering I'm a girl, and a young one, I can't really do half of the Muppet characters I know (heck, I'm probably bad at the ones I don't know!) But with some practice in the shower (yes, I sing and quote stuff in the shower), found out that I'm not so bad with some Whitmire and Oz characters--though I still have a lot to learn to impersonate more than one line off each of them. My best voice is Mokey, though I'd wish to do the other four as well. 
Muppet Characters I've Tried to Do
Mokey-- Best one I got.
Miss Piggy-- Actually not so bad, though I lose it a bit when she "harumphs".
Kermit the Frog-- "Heigh ho! Kermit the Frog here!" Pretty much all I can do from him.
Polly the Lobster-- (from "Sailing for Adventure") "I'd love to see them cry when they walk the plank." So-so, but definitely better than Mad Monty or Clueless... Or Blind Pew. O_O *shudders from thought*
Cantus/Convincing John-- Hadn't tried doing them in a while. But even if I did, they probably didn't sound good 'cause they need to sound more gravelly or deeper.
Junior Gorg-- (from FR theme song) "Look, Ma! I caught a Fwaggle!" Pretty much the only line I can really do from him. I've tried to sing "The Joke Isn't Funny" with this voice, but I lose control of it rather quickly. Either way, it doesn't sound too deep, and it's a bit obvious it's done by a girl.
Murray the Minstrel/Clueless Morgan-- Pretty bad, they are, but I personally think I do Murray just a speck better. (Keyword: speck.
)
Mad Monty-- Sounds sort of the same as Polly, but because it's deeper, I lose the voice pretty quick. I practice his voice mostly with his solo line from "Sailing for Adventure", which I have a hard time remembering.
Blind Pew-- Probably the worst tries I've done so far. X_X He sounds like Waluigi with a stuffy nose, and I can never do the French accent when I attempt it. Just sounds awful.
Wembley-- I only tried a couple of times, and I did surprisingly well the first time around ('bout a week or two ago), when I least expected it. But when I actually wanted to do it again, I sound weird.
Boober/Sidebottom-- Not very well from the start, but I lose control even faster when I sing the higher notes. But I think I managed to do Si's laugh once.
Fozzie Bear-- So-so. Sounds a bit girly or squeaky, like I'm trying too hard.
"You have a lovely singing voice, Mr. Bimbo. *pause* You're welcome!"
Red-- Also so-so. I think I do her best when I sing "The Thimblebeetle Song"--which is rare, since I have a hard time keeping up with some parts of the song.
Spotted Dick/Red Mustache Guy (from MTI)-- (from "Cabin Fever") "I got cabin fever; I think I lost my grip/I'd like to get my hands on whoever wrote this script." Probably my second-best voice on the list. The RMG sounds almost the same as SD 'cause, as you can tell, I'm not the best with rougher voices.
Gobo-- Better than Pew, but not as great as, say, my first Wembley attempt.
Jim Hawkins (human character; MTI)-- Since I'm female, it's pretty much a no-duh that I can reach his range, though most likely not perfectly.
Mudwell (from FR and MTI)-- ("Cabin Fever" and "Just a Dream Away") Neither version is great, but on the other hand, I hadn't practiced either one of them enough.
Other Characters I've Tried
Pikachu-- One of my best, and I've done it for years.
Princess Peach-- "Sa-weet!" "Peachy's got it!" Not perfect, but still one of my best.
Mario-- "Wahoo!" "It's-a me, Mario!" Not great, but pretty decent, IMO.
Yoshi-- Pretty well, but still needs a couple of final adjustments--mostly minor tweaks.
Kirby-- Also one of my best. ^_^ I've done baby voices for years!
Soldier (from Phantom Brave)-- What's less than "so-so", but more than "awful"?
Laharl (from Disgaea)-- Only his laugh, but I think I do rather decently at it.
Heidi Klum (from Project Runway)-- I hadn't actually tried her speaking voice, but I've done her laugh pretty well, and I think once or twice I've done her trademark "auf weidersen".
Yin/Yang/Yo (from Yin-Yang-Yo!)-- I can't do Yin's voice for junk, but I can't say much better for the other two. My best one here, though, is probably Yo, since the sound of his voice is a bit more reachable than that of the twin rabbits'. ("Hey! This chair got pointy again!" --Yo)
Misc. -- One time, with lyrics to the song and myself filled with confidence, I've sung through "On the Open Road" from A Goofy Movie, and [virtually] all of my impersonations of the characters that sang were really well done!
I was very proud of it myself, and my sister thought I did really well, too.

PS: I'm thinking someday, if I got the time and enough peace and quiet, maybe I can record at least some of these and submit them to my Putfile account. That way, you guys can hear my impersonations--both good and bad--and make comments about them.
