Punning on muppets. Muppet punning. If you are not familiar with the proceedings of the Muppet Show as a huge prime time TV hit in the 1970-80’s, then I weep for you. Look for bits of it on the web in the usual places. But nothing beats a full episode of the show, as it aired when released. The ways they would incorporate their A-List guest stars into muppet life and culture through skits as well as musical numbers, was part of their brilliance.
If you don’t know, the characters satirized above are Miss Piggy, the Count, and Fozzie Bear. The Count was not featured on the Muppet Show. He is a prominent character in the children’s TV show Sesame Street.
My friend asked me about who my favorite vampire was and I said “The one from Sesame Street”. He said “That one doesn’t count” and I said “Oh contraire”.

I find it difficult to believe that Miss Piggy would cheat on Kermit.

Lots of Vampires suffer from a right mania, which is an obsession with numbers.

Miss Piggy looks like she has lost some weight, the Ol’ Count must be tapping her real good.

If being intimate isn’t how you show someone they are special, you better come up with something really good.

Is it me, or does this rendition of The Count make him look a lot like Howard Cossell?
