Fair enough, I'm just completely unfamiliar with Walter as a muppet character. I understand he was introduced in the Jason Segel movie, but I haven't seen that or anything since.

Which is why I think it funny to put him in such roles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Just thought of one while responding to the NFL thread. Anchorman - keep Christina Applegate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pff at your pff. Animal was one of the originals on The Muppet Show. Snuffleupagus is almost entirely a part of Sesame Street, and it's questionable Sesame Street characters should even be included. Kermit is the only real crossover. You'd know these things if you watched West Wing, philistine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memories are that Fozzy, my favorite muppet at the time got a Studebaker from his uncle and sang the "Hope that something better comes along song" but looking at the actual cast besides the regular muppet people wow. No disrespect to the ones not listed but Milton Berle, Mel Brooks, Dom Delouise, Ellitiot Gould, Bob Hope, Madeliene Kahn, Steve Martin, Telly Savalas, Orson Welles, Richard Pryor. Wow. And who had Mel Brooks in that survivor pool? Not a lock, but a good price from the 70s aka my youth. I absolutely believe The Muppet Movie is an all time classic! It's in my personal top 10 favorite movies of all time. I've also always said this about the movie: The Muppet Movie is not a Mel Brooks movie but I think someone forgot to tell the movie that. I mean except for this being a more family friendly film, it could easily be placed with all the Mel Brooks films. Dom Deluise, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn...all actors who are staples in Brooks' movies all have cameos. Richard Pryor has a cameo too, while he wasn't in any of Brooks' movies he did co-write Blazing Saddles with Brooks and he was the first choice to play the sheriff but the studio wouldn't allow it. Then the man himself, Mel Brooks is in the movie. Not only that but he has a gag that's a callback to Blazing Saddles (the "PROF" on the back of his lab coat). The humor of the movie, the running gags, the 4th wall breaks...all reminiscent of Brooks films. So my pick: Goodfellas. Keep Joe Pesci. Walter as Henry Oscar the Grouch as Jimmy Miss Piggy as Karen Kermit as Paulie Fozzie as Tootie Johnny Fiama as Billy Batts Beaker as Spider Janice as Janice Sam Eagle as Morrie Bobo the Bear as Frankie Carbone Rizzo the Rat as Frenchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 No Kermit in his pervy trenchcoat. Yes, he is an exhibitionist. Elmo pfft. If you had said Scooter, ok. But Elmo? Next you are telling me you want to cast Miss Piggy as Anne Frank (any movie adaption). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Clearly you have a lack of respect for the depths of Elmo's depravities. He would thrive as Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York, keep Mad Eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maltaran Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Lord of the Rings, keep Ian McKellen. Kermit and MIss Piggy as Aragorn and Arwen, and Sam the Eagle is clearly Boromir. Not sure about the hobbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Casino Royale, and I’m torn between keeping Daniel Craig and Mads Mikkelsen. I can’t decide which would be a better twist on the torture scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
