Why do we love Gonzo?!?!

[banAndi]

Why do we love Gonzo? Is it because his nose has some stange power over us? THE NOSE IS YOUR MASTER!!!!

 

[wockawocka]

Yes, "The Nose Knows!" But umm... I like Gonzo because he also reminds myself of me (along with Fozzie), he's just so... weird! He is unique, and there is no other thing like him!

 

[banAndi]

oh yes, I love Gonzo because HE'S SO COOL!!! no, actually, he's not COOL, that I know of...but he might be? How would I know?!?! But he's so cute!!! And he has cool songs!!! And he's awesome!

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

He's blue...he's insane...he can stand severe personal injury; heck he LOVES it...

What's not to like?

These two brief exhanges between Gonzo and Piggy (both from the John Denver & the Muppets Xmas CD) show why I love Gonzo..

Exchange #1
Piggy: ...this is what we're going to sing: Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat...

Gonzo: Nice.

Exchange #2
Gonzo: (singing) Now bring u some figgy pudding, Now bring us some...
Piggy: Piggy pudding!
Gonzo: No, figgy pudding. It's made with figs.
Piggy: Oh. Sorry.
Gonzo: And bacon.
Piggy: ...what?

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

*giggles* And don't forget his little part of the Muppet*Vision pre-show, part of which I've quoted in my sig:

Gonzo: Scooter, Scooter... *notices Bean* Ooh, nice outfit!
Bean: (walking off) Thanks.
Gonzo: Scooter, there's a telephone call for you. It's urgent.
Scooter: Oh, thanks! (moves off-screen)
Gonzo: I got 'im! We don't have a telephone! *laughs* And now, ladies and gentlemen, while you are a captive audience, a display of tremendous tap-dancing talent with the added cultural component of...a pot of flowers balanced on my head. Hit it, Rusty!
(goes into his tapdance routine with three individual Gonzos!)
Scooter: (coming back after the routine is finished) Gonzo? Gonzo!
Gonzos: Yes, Scooter?
Scooter: (confused) Uh, we...have no...phone...
Gonzos: Well, then I'll run right out and get one!

Priceless

[The Great Gonzo]

Gonzo embraces the weird and silly. Plus, he is completely fearless. Want to shoot him out of a cannon? He's in! Want him to eat a rubber tire to the tune of flight of the bumblebee? Bring it on!

He's funny, but in a weird way like some people I've known over the years. Also, he's so upbeat, since yto him an act has gone over well right after he gets squished/exploded/booed....

Life must be easier as a Muppet if you take that attitude. Just ask poor Fozzie--he's not doing a happy dance after HE gets booed!

other people must like Gonzo!! ...right?
