If you're okay with them not being muppets, check out Dorkness Rising. Once they start playing, about 15 minutes in, the action bounces back between the players and the characters. It's old but still works.
Dorkness Rising is their second movie, and it makes a lot of references and throwbacks to the first.
It’d be a great skit, but the gag would get old pretty quick for anything full-length.
Do you're saying we'd only get seven or eight seasons of it ?
It'd get old by the end of the skit.
I mean that kinda goes for every muppet movie.....I'd still watch it
I would. Honestly.
I for sure would. Ryan Reynolds as a Bard being played by Gonzo.
Gonzo is DM.
Fozzie = wise cracking Bard
Miss Piggy = Half-Oink Barbarian
Kermit = Elven Ranger
Animal = Wild magic Sorcerer
~~Rolf~~ Sam the Eagle = paladin
Rolf = Druid
Dr. Teeth: BBEG, trying to rule the realm with Electric Mayhem

But Animal is their drummer.
Shhhhhhhhhhh! He's a sleeper agent...Turns on the rest of the party at the end!
Rizzo is obviously the rogue.
And Swedish Chef the local barkeep
Honeydew & Beaker run the apothecary shop

Maybe the first episode could be shot with the famous actors playing it up for the camera, and the rest of the campaign could be just a podcast with the Muppet voice actors and maybe slideshow illustrations for YouTube/Patreon?
I love the original idea, but there's no way that would be sustainable for the art least hour a week content I feel most podcast subscribers would expect.
there is nothing that cannot be improved by the addition of muppets
I think I'd pass on Muppet Schindler's List.

Holy fuck this is GOLD!
So kind of like Drunk History but with muppet dialogue instead of slurred speech?
If so, I'm sold.
Isn't there already a muppet like dnd thing where one of the muppets has giant bazongers
Watch it? Hell, I'd crowdfund it if it wasn't for the fact that Muppets are a Disney property. The House of the Mouse has more than enough cash to make this work.
FWIW, this format would work with a bunch of awkward teens at the game table.
You could also go the other way and re-release "Honor among Thieves" by constantly cutting away to the game table with hilarious die-rolls and the rest. Think: "Of Dice and Men", or "Dorkness Rising".
It’s a yes from me. Hitting the golden button!
Drunk history X muppets. There you go
