At first it was simple. This was just one of the most adorable lamps with a smirk I’d ever seen.
But boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy did it get complicated. My brain, being plagued by listicles, sent me spinning…
Who is the best muppet and how would I rank them? Is the best muppet duo Bert & Ernie or does Elmo have a clear #2? At the outset Elmo and Cookie Monster are the OG Spongebob and Patrick but if Cookie Monster doesn’t get half of the screen time as Patrick (no citation)… then are they even comparable? Is Elmo’s bestie-less because we, the audience, are cast as his bestie? If I was to rank all muppets that have ever existed do I split them up between movie muppets and TV muppets? And ummm…does Sesame Street exist in The Muppet Universe as a children’s TV show or are the concepts of Sesame Street and the Muppet Show sister-universes to each other? Sound off in the comments. 🤣
I look back and laugh. Tuesday mornings are never simple.
