it's a total popularity contest

Kermit T. Frog: long-legged, big-eyed, friendly, green, and true. Knows how to tap dance, host a newscast, and ride a bike.

Miss Piggy: blond, snout-nosed, brassy, pink. A total diva, in love with Kermit (see above), but like all Muppets, good at heart.

Gonzo the Great: short, furry, and blue. Hook-nosed and a daredevil. In love with chickens.

Fozzie Bear: Huggable joketeller, dapper sense of fashion. Wocka wocka.

Rowlf the Dog: Gruff-voiced, piano-playing mellow, cool dog.

Animal: Wild, freaky-haired drum player in chains. Grunts a lot, destroys property.

Sam the Eagle: stately bird, serious, straight-shooting. Patriotic, commanding, and reminds us some things are still sacred.

Swedish Chef: happy-go-lucky cook, food flinger, and horgey borg. Can't understand a word he's saying, but horgey borgey borgey borg. He makes the celery dance.

Bunsen: the scientist. Smart, sincere, helpful, wears a lab coat. Makes potions explode.

Beaker: sidekick to Bunsen, also wears a lab coat. Sports one fantastic hairdo. Sweet, but don't cross him. Meemeemeemeep.
