Just putting it out there but he gives me the ick. Have you seen his eyes? They are evil, that big mouth and those jerky movements

Urgggh.

AIBU to say my spidery senses are going ten to the dozen when I even see a picture of him?

I think Miss Piggy is guilty of sexual harassment at work.

ADragonFlyCharm · Today 19:05

I have long thought this too.

What a pair. Glad that we can finally say it.

Reckon miss piggy is the abuser in my opinion! And cos I said it on social media it MUST be true!

LintRollers · Today 19:07

Miss Piggy is violent.

If she karate chops everyone in public, I can’t imagine what she’s like behind closed doors.

ADragonFlyCharm · Today 19:07

Possibly but he may have groomed her and she is under his hypnotic evil spell.

In fact, what about those two old white men on the show? Shiver.

The whole cast of the Muppets needs looking at by Mumsnet Sleuths.

Spidery senses unite! Let's bring them down.

@MajorSamanthaCarter

I know you're trying to help but I think you should have put a trigger warning on that picture.

You have been told that my spidery senses are on high alert. Why are you so keen to push further? Very odd.

More than 50 years ago - I was only one year old, enjoying my first Christmas.

The Muppet Show came on TV and I said to my mum 'That frog is a wrong'un. One day everyone will have a computer in their house and they will all know the frog is evil and the frog will go to prison.

Apparently those were my first ever spoken words, which is why my family remember it so well, as they were a bit different from the 'normal' first words of a one-year-old, such as 'mummy' or 'doggy' or 'Brussels sprouts'.

That is amazing. Your family must surely now bow before you

And now it has come to pass. I mean, I know he hasn't actually been arrested or charged but the power of Mumsnet can bring him down,

Gonzo and his passion for chickens isn’t okay, either. I heard from someone on Twitter who heard from someone on Facebook who heard from someone on Reddit that Gonzo was inappropriate with at least two underage chickens during the filming of The Muppet Christmas Carol. He made them sign NDAs, but Michael Caine alluded to it once in a 1996 interview.

I don't want to jinx things but I did see my sister writing a letter to Buckingham Palace the other day!

Rainbow connection is one of my favourite songs. Judge the artist but not the art.

Oh yes. Well, we know your type. You are an apologist for filthy frogs.

Other women here, telling you about their yuk feelings and this is your response.

If you listen to it in a way that doesn’t financially benefit Kermit, I think that’s the least you can do. Personally, I can’t hear it without chills running down my spine. I even smashed my old vinyl record.

OhTheCowsInTheMeadowGoMoo · Today 19:32

Right, that's it. Too far, OP. Too. FAR.
You leave Kermit and the Muppets out of all this. 😡😁
We all know it's Constantine the Frog who's the evil one.
If anything does come out, check that gulag as I reckon he must have escaped again. Trying to frame him. Bad Frog. Animal knows.

ADragonFlyCharm · Today 19:36

Yeah, right , but @OhTheCowsInTheMeadowGoMoo Kermit once had his photograph taken with him.

Proof enough for you? Need I say more? I don't think so.

HalfwomanHalfcookie · Today 19:41

I like him.

DoNotWalkInTheRain · Today 19:44

I mean, you only have to look at the theme song to know something isn't right.

Female Chorus:
It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight

Innocent women planning a lighthearted show

Male Chorus:
It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right

Clear reference from the males to dressing in sexually revealing attire

It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight
'Raise the curtain' could hardly be a more obvious innuendo, they might as well just sing 'let's all strip off and have an orgy' FFS

Waldorf:
Why do we always come here
'Come here' - again, oh so obvious with hindsight

Statler:
I guess we'll never know

Waldorf:
It's like a kind of torture
Yes, let's introduce the children nice and early to our sado-masochistic agenda

Both:
To have to watch the show
'Show' - yet another reference to getting naked

Kermit:
To introduce our guest star
That's what I'm here to do
So it really makes me happy
To introduce to you...
And here he is, the evil frog fittingly giving the final endorsement of, what is in hindsight, a grotesquely innuendo laden description of a sado-masochistic orgy. Yes, you bet it makes him happy ...

Hiding in plain sight, as they all do.

I've heard Animal behaves like an animal.

Absolutely disgraceful accusations. He’s an innocent frog! In fact he probably is a victim in all of this - he spends his working day with someone’s hand up his nether regions!
he’s an innocent frog I tell you. #JusticeForKermy

PineappleOnAStick · Today 19:54

Elmo actually did have a relationship with an underage child, or his puppeteer did.

MajorSamanthaCarter · Today 19:59

I feel this is the guy we should be worried about, hanging around on people's bedside tables waiting for certain appendages to be washed in him is definitely not right.
Kermit is innocent.

Kermit is extremely handsy and never wears trousers. Enough said
