My favourite friendly insult is Muppet and it is my favourite because you can choose which muppet you want to be and that softens the blow of being ridiculed.

So..................

Which Muppet are you?

I'm Miss Piggy (overweight, thump quite hard and a dreadful flirt!)

Muppets I know of: Miss Piggy (I hope I'm not her), Kermit (I don't really know), Gonzo (I also don't know.)

I thought the "Which muppet are you?" line would be a link to a web site that told you what muppet you are based on your answers to a series of questions (though I'm not too disappointed to be wrong.)

Topher you're one of the grumpy old men (can't remember their names but I'm sure someone will) who sit in their lofty tower criticising everything but staying around anyway ;)

I think I know the ones you're on about. Oh, I know of Bert and Ernie too.

Stalter and Waldorf are the names i think. Been a while since i've seen it though.

Technically Bert and Ernie are puppets on Sesame Street as opposed to the Muppets.

My favorite was Rizzo the Rat and the Mad Chef

I wouldn't know, all I know is they look similar and I've never watched either.

Jim Henson's creations were all called Muppets rather than puppets. I'm not sure there is a muppet which I am particularly similar to, but The Muppets Christmas Carol is one of my all time favourite movies. Ooooh, oooh, oooh, could I be Swedish Chef??! PLease???!!! Hurdy-gurdy-wurshty-flerdy!

Hah

It was me correcting you this time sonny.

I just remember Mr Henson getting himself all upset if anyone reffered to them as puppets. They were muppets, not puppets and God help you if you got it wrong!

I watch Wonderful Life too, and Bernard and the Genie, and The Santa Clause, and the Santa Clause 2, and the Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol, and LOADS of other stuff. From about August onwards, if I'm honest.

Sorry foots, only reason I was apologising to Topher was for me correcting him, but my apology is extended to you too for doubting your correction.

Never liked sesame street though, big bird scared me too much! :-)

That made me laugh so hard, I'd forgotten how he used to say stuff like that. Yes of course you can be the Swedish Chef honey.

Which one is Footy though? I'm thinking Gonzo at the minute with Zooty as Animal

I've never seen Bernard and the Genie but the others i have. Christmas ends up being just a major film fest for me with a combination of the endless amount of films on tv and the new dvd's i got for Christmas.

I couldn't see what you attached footie, my stupid work computer won't load it. Grr (tho could be relieved if it is Big Bird/Sesame Street related)

*grumble*
I've been on all morning, go away for 30 mins, find out somebody starts a thread about muppets AND somebody else likens them self to the Swedish Chef before I get a chance to..

If anyone is unaware of the comedy genius that is the Swedish Chef, allow me to enlighten you -
