6 Silly Celebrity Lookalikes

GiggleSugar — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Why is it that so many celebrities resemble other celebrities? (I'm looking at you, Kristen Bell, Jennifer Aniston, and Lo Bosworth!) More importantly, though, why do so many celebrities look like muppets, cats, and cartoon characters? See some of my favorites by clicking "start slideshow."

Flashback: Muppet Babies

GiggleSugar — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Back in the day, the burning question was, "How do we make the already loveable Muppets even more adorable?" Answer? Turn them into babies with even higher pitched voices. Genius, I tell you!

Sesame Street Spoofs CSI

When there's rhyme in the streets, it's time for RSI: Rhyme Scene Investigation. These folks need to head over to the nearest spoken word event, if you asked me. (I love the David Caruso Muppet, y'all, and he's just as smug as the original!)

Kermit Sings Radiohead's Creep

Oh, man. I remember when we posted Kermit singing "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. It instantly killed a part of my childhood. Well, now we have Kermit singing an equally depressing song from Radiohead - their classic "Creep." He wishes he were f•ucking special. You are f•ckin special, Kermit, you are! (Make sure you watch until you get to the end when Fozzie Bear chimes in! Ha!)

Noooooo! Not Miss Piggy!

There's a simple formula to this brand of humor. A song by the dirty singer Peaches + some beloved wholesome show = WTF?! First it was Peaches + Mayberry and now? Peaches + The Muppets! Oh, nooo! I know Miss Piggy was something of a hussy, but this is all kinds of wrong! Look away toward the end if you want to retain any innocence.

The Muppets Are So Seinfeld

It's been lingering in the back of my mind for a long time now. Could we just replace each of the Seinfeld characters with muppets? I know. I know. You're thinking the show would lose its mundane charm if we turn Jerry, Elaine, and George into puppets. (Kramer is another story.) The muppets are all novelty; they couldn't pull off "nothingness" if they tried. Well, not so fast! Here's a little something of nothing . . .

The Muppets Roll With the Flow . . .

This only affirms my suspicion that Beaker was the unsung badass on The Muppet Show. Those looks, that voice, and a jokester to boot! Beaker is everything I want in a man - puppet and all - w00t! w00t! (I kid, I kid.) A gag can't officially wear out its welcome until the non-blinking, neurotic muppet sings, so here's my guy, ready to rick 'n roll . . .

The Muppets Take Manhattan: The Grim Reality

I heard from a respected source that next to the xylophone-playing Cookie Monster was a pink bass-playing gorilla. (The eyes can only take in so much, right? Hence, the cropping.) The question is, what is Cookie Monster doing busking in the NYC subway system? I guess he's gotta pay for his cookies somehow. It's hard out there for a Muppet. . .

Friday Musical Interlude: Beaker Sings "Feelings"

GiggleSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0700

You may know "Feelings" to be a slow, sappy, painful song, but it's something else on The Muppet Show. Our bug-eyed buddy, Beaker, tweaked the lyrics and added some of his personal flair to the song. In doing so, he made it ten times more tolerable and gave the ballad a bit more substance. Prepare to be wowed.

Muppets + Senator Craig = Awesome

For those of you who don't follow the news, Idaho Senator Larry Craig was busted for making hand signals in a men's bathroom. To the person who nabbed him (what a weird job he has!), this meant he was soliciting sex from other men. Just kinda funny, right? Add the muppets from the musical Avenue Q to puncuate Craig's subsequent "I'm not gay" speech? Very, very funny.
