Characters from ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' include:
=== Kermit the Frog ===
Line 18 ⟶ 21:
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Originally appeared on ''Sam and Friends'' (before he was a frog) and ''[[Sesame Street]]'' as a regular, though he's far more well-known for his ''Muppet Show'' role.
* [[The Everyman]]
* [[Experienced Protagonist]]: Kermit has a lot of experience running ''[[The Muppet Show]]''. He's been a newscaster on ''[[Sesame Street]]'', an MC for decades, and a charismatic personality The problem is that ''nothing'' ever goes to plan and no sufficient wisdom will fix that: whether it's Gonzo's stunts going awry, Wayne and Wanda's special effects messing up their numbers or a guest deciding to be a troll, you can expect chaos. Nevertheless, Kermit pushes forward, in the original Muppet Show and its subsequent spinoffs.
* [[Freudian Trio]]: The Superego to Gonzo's Id and Fozzie's Ego.
* [[The Heart]]/[[Team Dad]]: No Kermit, no Muppets. It's been established again and again, the new movie especially.
Line 42 ⟶ 46:
The unholy spawn of [[Barbra Streisand]] and rack of pork. Hailing from the Midwest, she was living off of [[Beauty Pageant|Beauty Pageants]] before meeting Kermit. Has a chronic need for stardom, and will steal the spotlight from anyone, with violence if necessary.
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Pummels her co stars (usually Kermit) on a regular basis. Granted Miss Piggy isn't designed to be the most sympathetic character of the bunch though.▼
** Female guest stars weren't safe either, its just they couldn't [[Punched Across the Room|be sent flying]] as easily as the male Muppets.▼
* [[Acting for Two]]: Played all four Witches in The Muppets Wizard of Oz.
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: More like Karate Chop!
Line 51 ⟶ 53:
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]
* [[A Dog Named "Dog"]]
▲* [[
▲** Female guest stars weren't safe either, its just they couldn't [[Punched Across the Room|be sent flying]] as easily as the male Muppets.
* [[Gratuitous French]]
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Recently revealed to be a wig (to avoid being mistaken for [[Angelina Jolie]]), at least [[Kayfabe|out-of-]][[Animated Actors|universe]].
Line 240 ⟶ 244:
* [[Lethal Chef]]: The very few times he does actually manage to complete a dish, it usually ends up something the non-suicidal would not want to put in their mouths.
* [[Once an Episode]]: Doing a little song and dance, then throwing some cooking utensils over his shoulder. Frank Oz had a [[Self-Imposed Challenge]] to try to knock over every single item on the back wall. He only ever managed it once.
* [[Non
* [[Norse by Norsewest]]
* [[Team Chef]]
Line 249 ⟶ 253:
Steve Whitmire & Dave Goelz }}
[[File:
Two-man peanut gallery, and patron saints of [[Caustic Critic|Caustic Critics]] everywhere. They've never sat through a show that they didn't hate.
Line 314 ⟶ 318:
** There's also the [[The Beatles|Sgt. Pepper]] reference.
* [[The Stoner]]: He even smokes a hookah in the ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'' parody episode.
* [[Sunglasses
[[File:zoot_7747.jpg|frame]]
Line 474 ⟶ 478:
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Robin may be a relatively minor character, but he's had two opportunities to take the spotlight all for himself: his performance of "Halfway Down The Stairs" (which became a Top 40 hit), and starring in his own action game for the Playstation.
* [[Artifact Title]]: Why is he named Robin? In his first appearance, he was a human prince named [[Monty Python and
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Innocent Prodigy]]
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]
* [[Little Miss Snarker|Little Mister Snarker]]: Sometimes.
* [[Lovable Coward]]: Has some elements of this, being a kid and all. You may think "Sir Robin the Brave" is a reference to [[Monty Python and
* [[Morality Pet]]: If the Muppets ever need to dial down the chaos and get a little sentimental, Robin is usually front and centre.
* [[Nephewism]]: The second season firmly established Robin as Kermit's nephew. His parents are never seen, but his father was mentioned once on this show. ''[[Muppet Babies]]'' later referred to his mother being Kermit's older sister. This trope is so evident that Robin played the Tiny Tim role to Kermit's Bob Cratchit in ''[[The Muppet Christmas Carol]]''.
* [[Odd Couple]]: He and Sweetums are the best of friends.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Sweetums. Really odd considering ''The Frog Prince'' story cast them as enemies.
Line 554 ⟶ 557:
''Pigs in Space'''s German-accented science officer, forever the bearer of bad news, and the only crewman on the Swinetrek who takes his job seriously. Outside of this role, Julius' performances are few and far between.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Didn't appear much on the show outside of [[
* [[Herr Doktor]]: The science officer in Pigs In Space.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Trapped on a spaceship, facing constant hazards and hostile aliens, with no company other than two self-absorbed twits for years... poor Strangepork.
Line 685 ⟶ 688:
* [[The Scrooge]]
