I'm watching muppets Christmas Carol and I've never worked out what Gonzo is. Can anyone enlighten please?

He’s just a gonzo 🤷🏼‍♀️

He's an alien isn't he? I have a feeling there was another mupet film that did the back story

AdditionalCharacter · 13/12/2020 13:41

He's an alien, there was a movie all about it.

DrDavidBanner · 13/12/2020 13:46

What channel are you watching it on?

I don't know, I think he might be an alien or some sort of bird.

What? He's blue and has a long curly nose. Weirdest chicken I've ever seen.

Gofer?

ShivD · 13/12/2020 16:03

Gopher even!

PassataQueenofBritain · 13/12/2020 16:10

He's a great- it's in his name, Gonzo the Great!

OrigamiOwl · 13/12/2020 16:49

Gonzo is a Gonzo...

I am intrigued by the person who thinks he's a rooster tho?

dragoncheeselady · 13/12/2020 17:37

He is an alien but usually says he is a whatever

ThomasHardyPerennial · 13/12/2020 17:40

A treasure.

Eckhart · 13/12/2020 17:41

He's a lesser crested saxophone player.

moglovesmincepies · 13/12/2020 17:41

Aw I love gonzo. He's an alien surely.

Eckhart · 13/12/2020 17:45

muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Frackles

I love this. He originated as a frackle but developed into his own character, which couldn't be a frackle, because they are personality-free and are simply 'utility monsters'.

Utility monsters! I want one!

MumsDirtyTeaTowel · 13/12/2020 17:46

He's a 'whatever'. It's referenced often.

DK123 · 13/12/2020 17:48

Wikipedia doesn't seem to know what species he is, but I always assumed he was some kind of bird!

bellagogosdead · 13/12/2020 18:08

He's an alien.
