“Kermit, we convinced ourselves that evil frog was you because he gave us what we thought we wanted. When what we really wanted… What we really needed… Was you, Kermit. The actual, real you.”
#19 The Muppets (2011)
This is what happens when Disney asks Jason Segel to write a script that could have been a really touching coming-of-age story and BURIES IT under Muppet references from the last 40 years to nostalgia bait parents into buying their kids Muppets merch.
#93 Muppet Treasure Island (1996)
Muppet Treasure Island is a film that exhibits all of the Muppet tropes and… exists.
#83 The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
I want all of my movies to include supportive besties like Gonzo and Rizzo.
#72 The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
The Muppets Take Manhattan answers the question “But what if the movie executive in The Muppet Movie said no?” and then the Muppets slummed around for months in bummer city.
#87 The Great Muppet Caper (1981)
Much like the Vacation movies, the Muppets decided to take a trip to England for their sequel, The Great Muppet Caper.
#47 The Muppet Movie (1979)
The Muppet Movie balances slapstick humor, puns, social commentary, 4th wall breaking gags, and emotional beats that catch the viewer off-guard in their earnestness.
#94 Purple Rain (1984)
I tried to keep my thirst at a minimum, but it’s hard to resist a guy in heels riding a purple motorcycle.
#95 Dancer in the Dark (2000)
Misery porn, but film it like a youtube flash mob.
#96 Meet the Feebles (1989)
I’m sorry, Jane Lane, puppets cannot make anything funny.
