Asked by @nuggetaubrey

Favorite Thing About Them: He could be just an one note joke about a prawn living out of water, but his performer Bill Barretta managed to create a very complex, energetic, fun and interesting character who has a sarcastic and witty sense of humour who also shares the dream of making people happy trough his desire to perform on stage, film and TV, enjoys things like wearing pretty dresses and performing ballet without being bothered with other people's binary view of gender, sprinkles some touches of spicy adult jokes and is proudly corny when it comes to romantic dreams.

Least Favorite Thing About Them: His portrayal in A Very Merry Muppet Christmas, where only at the very end he showed any caring for his friends in the Muppet Theater, because for most of the movie he was mainly a selfish, materialistic character who only cared about partying with shalow rich people and easily trew himself to be a lover of the main villain even tough she wasn't particularly charming or seducing.

Three Things I Have In Common With Them:

*I sometimes enjoy sappy romantic music and movie fiction;

*I like writing comedy;

*I performed stage plays and ballet when I was younger;

Three Things I Don't Have In Common With Them:

*I'm not a spaniard;

*I'm not a king prawn;

*I never worked as an elevator operator or as a cafeteria cook;

Favorite line:

From the Muppets Tonight episode guest staring Garth Brooks:

"Yes, I especially love the song about the low places, okay."

This exchange with Seymour the Elephant from the Muppets Tonight episode guest staring Sandra Bullock:

"Say Seymour! What do you get when you cross and elephant with a rhino?"

Gee, I don't know. What?"

Ela-if-I-know!"

From the Muppets Tonight episode guest staring Rick Moranis:

"Yes, Seymour. From now on, it's you and me calling the shots, and as God is my witness, we'll never have to cook again!"

"Tonight, we are going to make a delicacy enjoyed in many of the finest restaurants in the world, that gourmet treat - bread!"

From the Muppets on the Internet Youtube videos:

"Hola, I am Pepe the King Prawn, okay. And I know you can see me, but I cannot see you. So, if you're the pretties, stick around, baby. If not, go click your mouse somewhere else, okay."

From the 2015 ABC series episode Bear Left Then Bear Write:

"You leave her a note saying you love her... But you're ashamed. Then... Drink poison."

brOTP: His cousin Manolo, Rizzo the Rat, Yolanda the Rat, Clifford, Seymour the Elephant, Johnny Fiama, Sal Minella, Big Mean Carl, Bobo the Bear, Gonzo, Scooter.

OTP: Seymour the Elephant, Spamela Hamderson, Rizzo the Rat, Yolanda the Rat.

nOTP: Constance Hatchaway from Muppets Haunted Mansion.

Random Headcanon: Before coming to the United States, the first place in the American Continent that he lived after imigrating from Spain was Mexico.

Unpopular Opinion: I feel that he has better chemistry to form a comedic duo with Seymour the Elephant and Rizzo the Rat, but not strong enough chemistry to be a dual foil to Gonzo.

Songs I Associate With Them:

1, 2, 3, 4

Brick House

help i can't stop making these

it's important to note that while some are in the same category, their motivations are different:

•pepe is being annoying on purpose but bean bunny is just a lil shithead

•piggy thinks sweetums is annoying, stat+wal just want more space in the car and sweetums is the biggest, and also the bit of sweetums always getting left behind on road trips was too perfect for this

•rizzo has the good snacks but refuses to share. swedish chef has... food? and is very enthusiastically offering it to his friends but nobody has taken him up on it

•electric mayhem only plays bangers, don't get me wrong, but in my head sgt pepper was playing "Fugue for Frog" (muppet show S1 last episode i think) on repeat to annoy kermit and the rest of the band was vibing until kermit flipped

thank you i put way too much thought into this

(i found the chart template on google so i don't know who made it but pls lmk if you do)

Muppet Casting Rules

Because you can't just do whatever you want when you're casting the muppets.

Rule #1:You get ONE Human celebrity actor to play a character. This can be a main protagonist, a villain, a joke character, whoever fits best, but you only get one TRUE "celebrity" guest.

Rule #2: You may have multiple celebrity cameos, but their characters must appear only once and then never again, otherwise the celebrity counts as your one true celebrity role.

Rule #3: You may have two additional non-celebrity human actors to play roles where necessary. Generally this should be one man/boy and one woman/girl, but gender is a construct and this rule can be flexible depending on the roles in question.

Rule #4: Muppets should not be cast as multiple characters unless it is a story where two roles are traditionally played by the same actor (ie, the wolf and the prince in Into the Woods). Each muppet should only have one character in the story that they play.

Rule #5: The exception to rule number 4 is Miss Piggy, who may play multiple roles (as she does in Muppet Wizard of Oz) if the roles all make sense for her to play. This is both because she is really the only female muppet of note, and because, let's face it darling, she has the range.

Rule #6: You get ONE Unique Muppet per show. This should only be used once all other possible casting options have been exhausted, but an original muppet may be designed in order to fill a role that's particularly difficult to cast with current existing muppets and the One Celebrity and Additional Humans have already been used.

Rule #7: Background characters can be a mix of human and muppets, the ratio is dependent on the story itself. However, background characters are only really worth mentioning in the case of musicals, when discussing ensemble pieces.

Rule #8: Finally, any and all of these rules are in fact breakable if the end result is funny enough to justify it.
