Obviously that means Gonzo plays Fonzie, breaks the jukebox worse when he hits it, then says something about "picking up chicks" and leaves with Camilla.

Kermit is probably Richie, Scooter is Potsie, and Fozzie is Ralph.

I haven't thought out the rest of the casting, but Ted McGinley should definitely come in as the token human to end out the bit.

Oh, absolutely. They're supposed to be an acting troupe, right? Make an anthology show where each episode is a self-contained Muppetized version of a classic TV show. Muppet Cheers could be fun too, or MASH if they kept to the lighter side of it.

Kermit as Bob Newhart would be amazing.

Gonzo saying “as god as my witness I thought turkeys could fly”

This is an amazing idea.

Now I'm imagining Muppets doing the MASH series finale and playing it absolutely straight.

Brilliant ideas. I'd (re-)watch stuff like this throughout the year. Ofcourse I would hope for more than one off episodes.

The Muppet show already had a surgery room situation that worked, so translating that to a MASH one would be fine imo.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
