Scooter was my number one when I was a kid. Dude was the best right hand man a frog could ask for.

I think Statler and Waldorf are up there, i'm counting them as one entity.

[–] statler_waldorf@sopuli.xyz 2 points 21 hours ago

They are one entity.

Beaker was my favorite. His goofy face was so funny, but I also had trouble with my speech as a kid, only my mom could understand me, so maybe I identified with Beaker’s β€œmeep” language.

[–] gid@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago

Same, I still love Beaker to this day.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, Beaker has always been the most endearing to me.

If this comment were any more stripped down, I'd stick a dollar bill in it!

Barkley and Animal are probably my all time favorites, but I have had a few over the years.

When I was young it was Snuffy. I am old enough that it was when everyone thought he was Bird's imagination, and I always felt invisible to my parents. Then as I got older it became Gonzo who was the weird freak, like I was... but his attraction to Piggy always skeeved me out.

The Count. Ah, ah, ah, ah!

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Zero points, hehehe. No count in the Muppet Show.

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As part of the muppet extended universe he, ah, counts.

A less-known and less horror-movie centric bit of vampire canon is that they suffer from arithmomania, a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder thatΒ presents itself as a need to count objects in your surroundings.Β This crossed even cultural boundaries, with tales of number-crunching Counts existing from Slavic lore all the way to the ChineseΒ jiangshi.

As the lore goes, the vampires could be distracted from your pulsing, delectable carotids by a surplus of something in the surroundings that demanded to be counted. Holes in a fishing net, seed scattered at the door, Chinese folklore even recommended tossing out a handful of rice grains in front of a vampire as a functional defense against getting feasted on.

One! One grain of rice!

I first learned this bit of vampire lore from an episode of X-Files where they used a box of paperclips to escape a vampiric Patrick Renna.

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

The crummy direct to video sequel to Dracula 2000 totally endeared itself to me by including the vampiric OCD in its narrative. As far as I know, it and Sesame Street are the only film/tv media to do so. An unlikely club.

I know, but at least a Muppet from Sesame Street.

Statler and Waldorf

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why, Miss Piggy of course.
