Cloudcuckoolander/Puppet Shows


 * Most of the Muppet characters on Sesame Street would qualify. Yes, even Straight Man Bert, who has an unusual obsession with bottle caps and paper clips. Being a Nerd doesn't mean you're sane.
 * Sometime around 1988-92 was Ruby, a furry yellow monster who would often do things like wear a blindfold to see what it would be like to be blind or pretending she's a kangaroo after having her hair done up in a ponytail. She really makes Big Bird look sane.
 * Most of The Muppet Show cast would qualify, but Gonzo is the Poster Boy for this trope. Very much so. The word "Muppet", as used in Ireland, means what "Cloudcuckoolander" does here. It can be used as an insult, or a term of endearment, or both at once.
 * The entire cast of the highly surreal Norwegian puppet show Reparatørene Kommer (The Repairmen are Coming), later renamed Pompel og Pilt after the two main characters. If Cloudcuckooland is an actual land, this show takes place in it. Pompel og Pilt is Norwegian television's most beloved Nightmare Fuel.
