It’d be a great skit, but the gag would get old pretty quick for anything full-length.
It’d get old by the end of the skit.
I mean that kinda goes for every muppet movie…I’d still watch it
Do you’re saying we’d only get seven or eight seasons of it ?
ok but hear me out.
this but the muppet babies.
Nanny DM: Animal? Make me a wisdom roll…
Animal: Nat 20! Nat 20! Yayayaya!
Kermit: Erm, Animal? You, uh, rolled a D12…
Animal: Nat 20! Yayayaya!
Kermit: Good grief…
I could have swore this was an actual episode.
actually just found out they kinda did it on the 2018 version (though it was more like larping less d&d) -> sir kermit the brave
Holy fuck this is GOLD!
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
RolfSam the Eagle = paladinRolf = Druid
Dr. Teeth: BBEG, trying to rule the realm with Electric Mayhem
I like Rolf, but i think Sam the Eagle would be better a better choice as an uptight paladin.
Agreed. Rolf can be a Druid.
I think you’re trying to align the Muppets to what their personalities would be. Instead pick against type. Or as their off type. Gonzo has been the narrator in almost all the muppet versions of movies. So he’d be great at telling stories and winning over NPCs as a Bard.
Or how about Gonzo as the wizard who keeps getting KO’d in silly/pathetic ways, only he seems way too into it?
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
Sounds like Drunk History which I’ve always said would be better if it used muppets.
So kind of like Drunk History but with muppet dialogue instead of slurred speech?
If so, I’m sold.
You might enjoy HarmonQuest! Bonus fun fact: the DM was originally just an audience member when Dan Harmon came up with the idea and asked for a DM, but is now a regular cast member.

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”.
Oh hell yeah. Kermit as DM or Fozzie?
Gonzo. Gonzo has his own view of the world, which is perfect for running a game.
All the wenches would be sexy chickens
I’m not sure Hasbro, the Hensen estate, or Disney would approve where this is going. But I do.
you don’t make them sexy, you just imply that they are.
No. Honorary Muppet Tim Curry. Just being himself. The only person not being played by someone else, they’re just themselves.
Even better. That way when The Big Bad™ comes up it can be Tim Curry!
I kinda like the idea of the players constantly antagonizing the DM. Kermit could pull it off but I think he needs to be a player hero to pull off the script.
My dark horse Muppet DM pick is Sam the Eagle
Legit this is a fantastic idea
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.
there is nothing that cannot be improved by the addition of muppets

Oh how quickly history forgets the horrors of the past…
You think it wouldn’t? I’m not saying it’s be more arousing, but it damn sure would improve it.

Unfamiliar with Peter Jackson’s pre LOTR work?

It does have Muppet sex though.

There is a certain adult Muppet detective movie with some pretty erm… graphic scenes
deleted by creator
Disagree. A few felt jokes landed. Remove those muppets and the film is worse.
Let my puppets come …was an “adult” movie made with puppets
Edit: I totally fucked up this comment. Please disregard. I’m tired. It’s been a long day. I just need sleep. Good night everyone, and I wish you all the best for tomorrow ❤️
Have you witnessed the glory of Pterodactyl Porn? (Don’t look up Attack of the Flying Lizard if you have any taste or morals.)
I think I’d pass on Muppet Schindler’s List.
An entire movie with half being lip synced live action sounds awful to make. That’s a lot of lip syncing.
But I’m sure there’s a bunch of tools and talent out there that could make this happen. And it’d be a fantastic movie.
It doesn’t have to be lip synced well… that would be half the charm.
Having watched Kung Pow: Enter the Fist… Yes.
Foreign dubs are basically whole movies lipsynced from start to finish and that happens all the time.
Also fair. but that actually opens up a whole bunch of opportunity. There could be so many easter eggs hidden in what the live action actors are actually saying, versus what the mupets are saying.
I would. Honestly.
It’s a yes from me. Hitting the golden button!
