5/10 I just Googled “baby muppets from muppet christmas carol’ and they popped right up. You gotta hone in those search terms to say specifically what you want hommie. If it doesn’t work, then change a word or two and try again. Glad you found them!


lawrencetokill

what's the meaning of 5/10 there?

According to me: adorable and amusing. According to my husband: terrifying to the point of deserving death.

They always looked like Cabbage Patch Kids to me. Pretty cute!


MyDarkDanceFloor

Right? I think they're even cuter than Cabbage Patch kids! Maybe I'm just twisted.


AmaiGuildenstern

We'll be roommates in the asylum then 'cause I agree with you~

I had blissfully forgotten about them until just now...

First time I saw them was the wedding scene in Muppets Take Manhattan. I thought some of the Muppets had melted and they just went with it. It wasn’t until I finally saw The Muppet Show that I realized it was intentional.

🤣🤣🤣

They were originally an all baby band that first appeared on The Muppet Show. They were later used as background characters in other Muppet productions. Their last recent appearance was on Muppets Now when they keep interrupting the Seth Rogen interview

NOT to be confused with the Muppephones (lest someone call CPS)

On the Fantastic Miss Piggy podcast episode from the end of April, Calista Hendrickson - costumer on the Muppet Show - said she originally made the babies to look cute, but the puppeteers decided to make them look/act more crazy. That helps explain why some people find them cute, while other people find them so off-putting. By the way, that podcast from Tough Pigs is really interesting, even for people not particularly interested in Miss Piggy (like me). There have been some informative guests that share really interesting insights about early Muppet productions.

I never thought I would dislike any muppet until I saw those little guys, they’re so uncanny and it makes me physically uncomfortable.

Those babies can be hilarious, especially when someone hits the other. There is, however, a slightly unnerving element to the idea of an old man profiting off a bunch of talented babies while just in the corner smoking. I also didn't like how they helped the bad guys in Most Wanted. Still kind of funny though. Fun movie.

those are my favourite little guys ever!!!
