Everyone else in the real world is human, everything else in the fantasy world is muppets.
Except Tim Curry.
It’d be a great skit, but the gag would get old pretty quick for anything full-length.
Do you’re saying we’d only get seven or eight seasons of it ?
It’d get old by the end of the skit.
I mean that kinda goes for every muppet movie…I’d still watch it
If you’re okay with them not being muppets, check out Dorkness Rising. Once they start playing, about 15 minutes in, the action bounces back between the players and the characters. It’s old but still works.
Dorkness Rising is their second movie, and it makes a lot of references and throwbacks to the first.
I for sure would. Ryan Reynolds as a Bard being played by Gonzo.
Gonzo is DM.
Fozzie = wise cracking Bard
Miss Piggy = Half-Oink Barbarian
Kermit = Elven Ranger
Animal = Wild magic Sorcerer
RolfSam the Eagle = paladinRolf = Druid
Dr. Teeth: BBEG, trying to rule the realm with Electric Mayhem
Dr. Teeth: BBEG, trying to rule the realm with Electric Mayhem
But Animal is their drummer.
Shhhhhhhhhhh! He’s a sleeper agent…Turns on the rest of the party at the end!
Rizzo is obviously the rogue.
And Swedish Chef the local barkeep
Honeydew & Beaker run the apothecary shop
I like Rolf, but i think Sam the Eagle would be better a better choice as an uptight paladin.
Agreed. Rolf can be a Druid.
I think you’re trying to align the Muppets to what their personalities would be. Instead pick against type. Or as their off type. Gonzo has been the narrator in almost all the muppet versions of movies. So he’d be great at telling stories and winning over NPCs as a Bard.
Or how about Gonzo as the wizard who keeps getting KO’d in silly/pathetic ways, only he seems way too into it?
Omfg yessss!
there is nothing that cannot be improved by the addition of muppets
I think I’d pass on Muppet Schindler’s List.
Porn
Edit: people think porn could be improved by adding Muppets?
Exhibit A: The sex scene in Team America
Those are marionettes not Muppets
I saw it on Broadway during its early run. That’s not porn.
It does have Muppet sex though.
No, it has puppet sex. Muppets are very specifically the IP of Henson studios and that style of puppet I associate with childhood way to much for Muppets in porn to be remotely acceptable. It would be like putting Teletubbies into porn
Oh how quickly history forgets the horrors of the past…
Have you witnessed the glory of Pterodactyl Porn? (Don’t look up Attack of the Flying Lizard if you have any taste or morals.)
Unfamiliar with Peter Jackson’s pre LOTR work?
Let my puppets come …was an “adult” movie made with puppets
And was the porn better because it had muppets? The question was “what wouldn’t be made better with the inclusion of Muppets”
You think it wouldn’t? I’m not saying it’s be more arousing, but it damn sure would improve it.
“I’m gonna show you why women choose the bear. Wokka wokka!”
Muppets are a Jim Henson studio IP built around childish imagery. I want nothing childish associated with my porn other than childish bad jokes and the XXX Alice in Wonderland musical which isn’t a bad musical movie though the porn parts are quite bad.
There is a certain adult Muppet detective movie with some pretty erm… graphic scenes
And it was a bad movie. It was not improved because of the muppets
Disagree. A few felt jokes landed. Remove those muppets and the film is worse.
Edit: I totally fucked up this comment. Please disregard. I’m tired. It’s been a long day. I just need sleep. Good night everyone, and I wish you all the best for tomorrow ❤️

it makes sense if you don’t think about it for too long, or think about it really hard

It wouldn’t be GOOD, but it’d take a bit of the edge off.
“If you ask me, that headless fella’s actually the lucky one.”
“Why do you say that?”
“He doesn’t have to watch the rest of this show!”
OHOHOHHOHHHOHOHOHOO!
I’m sold on this.
Just a little… Off the top!
There’s a small part of me that wants to use AI to create this video…
But the mature part of me knows that once I got to the actual video of a beheading i’d stop.
… maybe if I replaced the victim with a muppet too though…
You just described the vibe of Peter Jackson’s “Meet the Feebles”…
that did cross my mind when i wrote it
you seem fun at parties
i am
So kind of like Drunk History but with muppet dialogue instead of slurred speech?
If so, I’m sold.
Watch it? Hell, I’d crowdfund it if it wasn’t for the fact that Muppets are a Disney property. The House of the Mouse has more than enough cash to make this work.
FWIW, this format would work with a bunch of awkward teens at the game table.
You could also go the other way and re-release “Honor among Thieves” by constantly cutting away to the game table with hilarious die-rolls and the rest. Think: “Of Dice and Men”, or “Dorkness Rising”.
Holy fuck this is GOLD!
I would. Honestly.
Drunk history X muppets. There you go
It’s a yes from me. Hitting the golden button!
Good lord this is brilliant !
Maybe the first episode could be shot with the famous actors playing it up for the camera, and the rest of the campaign could be just a podcast with the Muppet voice actors and maybe slideshow illustrations for YouTube/Patreon?
I love the original idea, but there’s no way that would be sustainable for the art least hour a week content I feel most podcast subscribers would expect.
