Oh, this is awesome!

I think that the two idiot pigs (I think their names are Randy and Andy) should be in this. They're so stupid! I like Gonzo and Rizzo being Merry and Pippin, so I'm not sure who Randy and Andy should be. They do like to annoy Ms. Piggy though, so maybe they should be Celeborn and Haldir if Piggy's Galadriel.

Oooh! Remember the Spamella Anderson pig lady from The Muppet Show? She should be either Eowyn or Arwen, and Piggy should be the other. Then Piggy can get all jealous when she sees Kermit-agorn with Spamella.

Maybe Pepe the prawn (known as 'the shrimp guy') should be Boromir! "You should give me the ring, okay?" "It's a conspiracy, okay?" "I had this funky dream, okay?" "It is a gift, okay?" Then Faramir could be a normal guy, so it'll look really funny when Denethor says that he likes his seafood son over the human.

Elrond should definately be Sam the Eagle. "You must destroy the ring! It is the American Way!... Er... It is the Middlearthian Way!"

THe Swedish chef should be Sauron. His singing fruit could be nasgul. Gonzo could be sarumon and his chickens should be uruks.

Here's a link to a list of character profiles, just to help out with who should be who:

http://www.muppets.com/profiles/profiles.htm

Yes, Dr. Teeth should deffinately be Tom Bombadil! Janice could be Goldberry and Sweetums as Gimli?

Gorwingel 04-09-2004 10:11 PM

Well we will most definitely have to find a role for Link Hogthrob! He was one of my most favorite characters. He can't be Legolas, but maybe he could be a very vain elf at the Council of Elrond?

Rilwen Gamgee, thanks for the character profiles :cool:

stickifinger 04-12-2004 07:40 AM

How about Eomer for Link Hogthrob?
And, yes, thanks for the Muppet profiles. They made me laugh!

skadork 04-12-2004 01:52 PM

Thank you SO much for that link! I have been going insane trying ot find out the names of those forgotten muppets! thankyouthankyouthankyou!

yes, well, continuing on............I just forgot what I was going to say. dang, that's....embarrasing. i'll be away now, laughing at myself.

Lily Bombadil 04-12-2004 08:18 PM

Hi, everyone. I guess the Wight thought he'd rid himself of me for good, but I've just been a bit busy (net troubles). Yes, 'tis I, Lily Bombadil...again. :eek:

Of course Miss Piggy would be Arwen. And if she wasn't cast so, all Udun would break lose. I think Gonzo would be...hmmm...I've forgotten already. However, Burt and Ernie would be Merry and Pippin. Bert=Merry, and Ernie=Pippin, of course.

Updated list of my suggestions:

Aragorn ~ Kermit
Arwen ~ Miss Piggy or Janice
Frodo ~ Robin
Sam ~ Rolwf
Merry~ Rizzo the Rat
Pippin ~ Gonzo
Gandalf ~ Dr. Julius T. Strangepork
Boromir ~ Clifford
Faramir ~ himself
Denethor ~ Flyod Pepper(?)
Saruman ~ Johnny Fiamma
Wormtongue ~ Sal
Legolas ~ Pepe the Shrimp
Gimli ~ Seymour
Elrond ~ Scooter
Treebeard ~ Sweetums or Bobo the Bear
Statler and Waldor ~ The Argonath
Tom Bombadil ~ Dr. Teeth
Goldberry ~ Janice or Bean Bunny
Eomer ~ Link Hogthrob
Eowyn ~ Janice or Bean Bunny
Theoden ~ Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Hey, it's my list.):P
Galadriel ~ Janice or Miss Piggy
Celeborn ~ Zoot
Haldir ~ Randy or Andy
Sauron ~ The Swedish Chef
Gollum ~ Animal ("Faster! Fish now! Want Precious!")
Gwaihir ~ Sam the Eagle
Balrog ~ Sweetums(?)
Barliman Butterbur ~ Randy or Andy

That's enough for now.

tom bombadil could be in this one. personally, i think he should be played by the "post-christmas" grinch or any one of the whos.
yes, i am well aware that he is not a muppet, this idea came to me in the middle of the night. but there is an explanation: to me, bomabadil is the most random character in the book, thus explaining the grinch. & the rhyming? well, it's dr. seuss, all those people do is rhyme!

well...it made sense to me. :rolleyes:

Meneltarmacil 04-20-2004 09:14 PM

How about Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as Saruman and Beaker as Wormtongue?

Although I'm not sure who Theoden would be in that case...

And any hardcore BDer would know that Clifford would play Boromir. ;)

Kitanna 05-16-2004 09:51 AM

If anyone has said these I'm sorry, but I think Animal should be Gollum, Gonzo is Pippin, that ditzy blonde girl in the band should be Galadriel, someone said Sweetums as the Balrog and I totally agree, and Clueless Morgan the goat should be himself just because he's funny.

Volunteer to make a tally of votes
 
Interesting...does anyone have any time on their hands? Because I've found I don't. :(

It'd be great if we could make a tally: Miss Piggy gets so many votes to be Arwen, and so many to be Galadriel; Kermit gets so many to be Aragorn and so many to be Frodo etc.

And if anyone has any new ideas...keep them coming. :D

Cheers,

Elennar Starfire 07-15-2004 09:02 PM

I like the idea of the Swedish Chef being Sam... or maybe a nazgul...where'd that come from? :eek:

Bekah 11-03-2008 09:32 PM

Just wondering if anyone has any new ideas now so much time has passed...
