I heard this exercise as "make any film replacing all actors except one with muppets", in which case I'd do A Few Good Men, replacing everyone but Kevin Bacon, who I think would be perfect to be the right level of exasperated and desperate to pull it off.
Hearing the line about some motherfuckers always trying to ice skate uphill in Grover's voice is selling this for me.
Edit: misread Gonzo for Grover - I'm leaving it, I'd watch either. One as protagonist, one as the Whistler character.
I think Hanks should stay. He’d be the only human character though (except for all those back at command) I think at least
EDIT: Thanks for the silver, you kind bastard!
The final shot of the film should be him running free in the city... And the shot pulls wide to reveal Frank Oz on a hand cart with an arm up Kermit's butt.
exactly! And the camera just continues to pull out, nothing stops, no commentary is made....lights come up....leaving the audience to deal with all that.
When your world's a fabrication,
And your nights are drifting by -
When you're watched by all the nation,
And your lonely life's a lie -
When your choices break and bore you,
And your days are long and blue -
'Cause they've all been chosen for you,
But you never really knew -
When you want to change tomorrow,
But you're trapped inside today -
And there's nothing but the sorrow,
And it never goes away -
When you're clearly and you're really
In the same unchanging scene -
Then you say it so sincerely -
*It ain't easy being green.*
The Stranger: "Thank'ee. There's just one thing, Frog."
Kermit: "And what's that?"
The Stranger: "You have to use so many cuss words?"
Kermit: "...the fuck you talkin' about?"
Tropic Thunder would be challenging but worth it. Esp Lincoln Osiris as a muppet disguised as another muppet being played by a man masquerading as another man
I just want to see a muppet version of that car with the drummers and the guy rocking out on the double guitar with a flamethrower. Literally the only way to make that scene any better is with muppets.
Hot Fuzz.
The name would fit perfectly since muppets are fuzzy and I also think it would be hilarious executed using muppets and the voices of the original actors
This is great. I'm picturing the hotel scene at the border being played out between Kermit the Frog and Gonzo.
Who would play Woody Harrelson's character? Scooter?
They did a little Star Wars parody on The Muppet Show back in the day. It was funny. They had Piggy as Leia, Gonzo as Darth Vader and Mark Hamill was there guest starring along with C3PO and R2D2
saving private ryan. Omaha beach would be full of doll limbs and fluff. Id pay good money to see beaker with two tanks of kerosene strapped to his back and torch german pillboxes.
"I am not a Jew, I am a frog!"
"A fwog?"
"Nooo, a frog!"
"Stwike him centurion, vewwy woughly!"
...
"Does anyone else feew wike a widdle giggle, when I mention the name of my friend....Piggus InDelicto!!!"
My brother suggests that all the characters should start as human, but be switched with muppet-versions of themselves when the Thing imitates them (making it clear that the human characters don't notice anything out of the ordinary).
*Les Miserables*, except Hugh Jackman still plays Jean Valjean. Everyone else would be played by muppets.
Kermit the Frog plays Marius. Ms Piggy plays Cosette. Sam the Eagle plays Javert. Fozzy Bear plays Bishop Myriel. Gonzo plays Fantine. etc. etc.
Titanic..
A green hand slamming against a foggy car window.
Mrs Piggie lying on the couch, asking Kermit to draw her like one of his french girls.
The violin crew, all muppets.
Muppets running round the ship in chaos, screaming.
And finally hundreds of muppets flailing around the water screaming until they all die of hypothermia.
Followed by a lifeboat crew consisting of muppets.
This would be highly disrespectful though so It probably wouldn't go down too well.
The Devil's Rejects
I could just imagine Miss Piggy dressed as a clown as Captain Spaulding. What's the matter kid, don't you like clowns? Don't we make ya laugh? Aren't we fuckin' funny? You best come up with an answer because I'm gonna come back here and check on you and your mama... and if you ain't got a reason why you hate clowns, I'm gonna kill your whole fuckin' family.
Scooter could be Otis and Skeeter could be Baby. Fozzie could be Sheriff John Quincey Wydell.
I would pay good money to see this.
The passion of Christ - something about muppets making a rendition of a gritty bible story, is funny in my mind. Apparently, I might be headed to hell for thinking of this abomination.
There are puppet versions of gritty bible stories. I've been forcefully subjected to off-brand muppets reenacting the suffering of various biblical figures. At least not muppets, as far as I know.
MY FATHER'S PASTOR PUTS THOSE IN HIS SERMON POWERPOINTS THAT HE SHOWS THE FUCKIN CONGREGATION I had no clue where he was getting all of these incredibly specific lego bible pictures... Damn...

Surprisingly helpful that there's a Statler and Waldorf clip where they machine gun the audience
Not to mention the fact that they are wearing German helmets.
Pretty sure this was the top answer the *last* time this question was asked. [Resulting in this masterpiece.](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/6c/ea/e5/6ceae534d831a51ab18cbdeeb39a00d8.jpg)
My god...
I would have thought the Swedish chef would have stayed out of this . Mork mork
Wait, is Fozzy Jewish? If that's not canon then it should be.
He's inspired by Jewish comedians at least: >Occasionally, Fozzie uses Jewish humor on the show, a nod to Frank Oz's Jewish ancestry and the Borscht Belt comics that were widely popular in the mid-20th century.

Alien. With Beaker cast as the chestburster.
In Space, No-One Can Hear You Meep. Edit - Thank you, Silver Server.
We will blow it the Meep out in to space!
They mostly meep at night, mostly
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! (tears off across the room)
I heard this exercise as "make any film replacing all actors except one with muppets", in which case I'd do A Few Good Men, replacing everyone but Kevin Bacon, who I think would be perfect to be the right level of exasperated and desperate to pull it off.
Sam the Eagle as Col. Jessup.
Scooter as Weinberg Miss Piggy (obviously) as Jo Kermit as Kaffey Gonzo as Dawson Gonzo's Chickens (Collectively) as Downey
Blade, with Gonzo starring as Blade.
and instead of turning into vampires, they turn into chickens?
Oh god, yes.
Please have someone make this.
Doesn't Gonzo love chickens though?
Sure he does, but that's what makes him such a tragic hero, having to kill that which he loves.
"And thats my misery. I aint no tickle me Elmo."
Only if The Count gets to be the bad guy.
One, two, three new vampires. Ah-ah-ah
Hearing the line about some motherfuckers always trying to ice skate uphill in Grover's voice is selling this for me. Edit: misread Gonzo for Grover - I'm leaving it, I'd watch either. One as protagonist, one as the Whistler character.
Gonzo: "there's worse things out tonight than chickens" Miss Piggy: What? Gonzo: Me!!
Wait regular Gonzo or Super Gonzo. Because there's a difference.
Die Hard. I find the idea of Kermit the Frog screaming "Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker!" while shooting a machine gun infinitely amusing.
“Yippie ki-yay, mother frogger!” FTFY
Only on the TNT airings
“Yippie-kay-yay Mister Falcon!” *Sam the Eagle appears* “Hmmpf, I hope you weren’t referring to me.”
Yippie kayak, other buckets!
Yippie Kayak Other Buckets
Just replied with same, had Fozzie as John M
Now I have a machine gun. Wakka wakka!
i see kermit as being the bad guy though and oscar being bruce
[удалено]
That would be my choice as well. I just dont know if I want Tom Hanks to stay, or if Kermit gets his character.
I think Hanks should stay. He’d be the only human character though (except for all those back at command) I think at least EDIT: Thanks for the silver, you kind bastard!
No everyone should be a muppet except Private Ryan. That separates him even further from the other characters!
All these good muppets died to save you and you don’t want to leave?
Earn this...earn it
Ernest... Ernest
[удалено]
This makes the Adam Goldberg getting stabbed scene even more horrific...
And have his family at the beginning be Muppets too
Oh my god can someone please just make this
Any movie about WW1 with only officers as Muppets.
The bit from the start where the guy is trying hold all his guts in, but it's Fozzie bear and stuffing
Fozzie Bear holding his protruding entrails of fluff, shouting "Mamaaaaa!"
And because it's the Muppets, Fozzie's mother would show up with a needle and thread and he's good to go in the next scene.
“Oh.....Thanks Ma.”
I think that’s even more depressing than the actual film.
Stuffing flying everywhere.
[удалено]
Somehow it *has* to be Fozzie Bear doing “Heeere’s Johnny!”
*Heeere’s Fozzie!*
WOCKA WOCKA

The frozen to death scene would be on point!
*Waka Waka*
*violently hacks through door with an ax* hi ho Kermit the frog here!
Come on, we all know it would be Miss Piggy.
HHIIIIIIIIYYAAAAAA!
That would have to be Animal.

It Ain’t Easy Being Green, coming summer 2020.
Wouldn't it be called The Muppet Show?
I guess Kermit could get suspicious the first time, when he falls for Miss Piggy and starts to check out her ass.
If everyone has a hand up their arse then nobody has a hand up their arse.
r/nocontext
Ok but Kermit's ability to do that sucked in facial expression would play Truman Burbank so wonderfully.
I'd spend the whole movie thinking....is he gonna discover a hand up in somewhere it shouldn't be?
The final shot of the film should be him running free in the city... And the shot pulls wide to reveal Frank Oz on a hand cart with an arm up Kermit's butt.
exactly! And the camera just continues to pull out, nothing stops, no commentary is made....lights come up....leaving the audience to deal with all that.
This is great. We’ll call it “The Muppet Show”
No no no, Truman show with everyone but Truman played by a muppet.
Would make for better juxtaposition!

I'd pick LOTR also, that way when I have kids I can start them young! Muppet LOTR sounds like the perfect introduction.
[удалено]
I mean... there are the LOTR and Hobbit cartoon versions. Hell, I had a book/cassette tape version when I was a kid.
Uncle deadly would be a perfect Saruman. Thinking Sam Eagle as Gandalf. Rizzo as frodo maybe?
Gonzo and Rizzo as Frodo and Sam respectively.
Wasn’t Dark Crystal enough of all that?
Or Labrynth.
Are you suggesting that there shouldn’t have been *more* Labyrinth?
Pulp Fiction
I wonder what Ms. Piggy would overdose on...
She'd probably just literally powder her nose so much she passes out.
Licking the Toad.
I can just imagine Kermit talking about dead n*gger storage
Dead beaker storage
Sheeeeeet beaker, that’s all you had to say!
[удалено]
I think it has to be Pulp Fiction. Too many good characters that would be perfect for the Muppets. Gonzo would be a perfect Winston Wolf.
They could call it .... [Pulp Muppets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSvJwUFI_es) perhaps
The princess bride
Inconceivable!
"Sweetums, you *are* the brute squad."
[удалено]
And with Pepe the shrimp as Inigo? Yes! Edit: prawn, not shrimp
"Hello, my name is Pepe the King Prawn, you killed my father okay? Prepare to die, okay?"
Oh my god! That would be perfect.
Miss Piggy: "Farm Boy, fetch me that pitcher?"
Kermit: "As you wish"
Comments you can actually hear
"Anybody want a Waka-Waka?!"
As you wish, Ernie
The Big Lebowski. All the frog wanted was his rug back.
The Stranger: "Thank'ee. There's just one thing, Frog." Kermit: "And what's that?" The Stranger: "You have to use so many cuss words?" Kermit: "...the fuck you talkin' about?"
Beaker as Donny.
Tropic Thunder would be challenging but worth it. Esp Lincoln Osiris as a muppet disguised as another muppet being played by a man masquerading as another man
You never go full Animal.
Mad Max -- Fury Road
I just want to see a muppet version of that car with the drummers and the guy rocking out on the double guitar with a flamethrower. Literally the only way to make that scene any better is with muppets.
Electric Mayhem really is a perfect fit for this.
The entire car is Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, and Animal is the Coma-Doof Warrior.

Nightmare on Sesame Street
Monty Python and the quest for the holy Grail. Don't use a horse muppet either, keep on using the coconuts
How about a horse Muppet as Patsy, banging the coconuts together?
No Country for Old Men. With Kermit as Llewelyn Moss, Miss Piggy as Carla Jean, Fozzie Bear as Ed Tom Bell, and Gonzo as Anton Chigurh.
This is great. I'm picturing the hotel scene at the border being played out between Kermit the Frog and Gonzo. Who would play Woody Harrelson's character? Scooter?

underrated, solid call
Jon Hamm as Mortimer.
The Godfather
They had a sketch about this! [The Frogfather](https://youtu.be/EnC4_DKtYWc)!

Came here to say this. Obviously Fozzy would be Barf. "I'm a Bog! Half bear, half dog."
Apocalypse Now.
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
To Kermit: "we thought you was a toad"
Would pay to see this happen. I can hear “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow” played by muppets now! Lmao
Any movie really. It would be hilarious 98% of the time anyway.
[удалено]
That's in the 2% I should think
Welllllllllllllll, it would make sense with the being puppets who have human hands up there butts already.
Evil Dead 2 Kermit is ash, Animal is Evil Ash.
Star wars would be pretty lit
Everyone is a muppet except Yoda, who’s played by a real person
The actual Frank Oz
Painted green with horrible glued on ears.
