Shoulder length red hair. That’s all
KarisPurr@reddit
My grandmother because I called her Nanny too, and I never even questioned it.
analogswampwitch@reddit
Me too!! I have never come across another "Nanny" grandmother before.
Farm-Alternative@reddit
Nanny or Nanna is common for Grandmother in Australia. Pretty sure it's originally a British thing though
analogswampwitch@reddit
I'm from the South (USA) so I have no idea who came up with it then.
KarisPurr@reddit
I don’t either! My grandmother is 100% Serbian and was born in California 🤷🏻♀️
Decafab@reddit
I pictured my Granny bc close enough
Eddies_Current@reddit
My son calls my MIL Nanny, i love this
cbih@reddit
This one. She looked like my grandma.
Positive-Attempt-435@reddit
I called my great grandma nanny, so I kind of did the same thing in my mind without realizing it.
Shanoony@reddit
Well that’s adorable.
c_girl_108@reddit

Nanny ……, :-(
nojaneonlyzuul@reddit
Ms Frizzle and it never occurred to me that anyone would think anything different
byronicrob@reddit
What the hell's a Ms Frizzle? Are you millennials trying to put one of your childhood things into one of our GenX cartoons??
nojaneonlyzuul@reddit
That's bold when my comment has 350 updates currently.
And xennials are literally where genx and millennials overlap - are you new here?
Google is your friend, friend.
byronicrob@reddit
Google it? Sure thing...
“There is no Xennial microgeneration. Those born on the cusp where Gen X ends and Millennials begin are still a part of their respective generations — sorry Oregon Trail fans!”— Jason Dorsey, Center for Generational Kinetics
It's something elder millennials made up who don't like being called millennials.
nojaneonlyzuul@reddit
I'm confused, why are you in the xennials subreddit then?
Maybe just go back to gawking at pictures of gen-z butts instead?
byronicrob@reddit
Dunno, it came up on my feed. And to be fair I like butts of all generations.
geriatric-sanatore@reddit
The Magic school bus is solidly in xennial territory the books came out in 1986 and then there was a brief TV show in the mid 90s.
Vdazzle@reddit
Exactly!!!!
Cheaperthantherapy13@reddit
Yeah. Obviously, Nanny and Ms Frizzle are sisters.
CrystalSplice@reddit
This is perfect! I have to be honest, as a kid I…didn’t really think about her upper body. I guess that’s a bit weird?
Sidewalkstash@reddit
Yeah always pictured a red head.
StrategyOdd7170@reddit
Me too!! Frizzy red hair and glasses😭
astronauthomer@reddit
Mrs Frizzle was the first thing that popped in my head too. Really though, I pictured her as a combo of Mrs Frizzle and Mrs Garret from Facts of Life
TheLastBlakist@reddit
This is why the muppets imagination was so lively.
The bus is powering the nursery.

bankrupt_bezos@reddit
Wait…. No one else pictured Rose from Golden Girls?
Sharessa84@reddit
I don't think I ever watched the cartoon and I probably read the books after I saw Muppet Babies, but yeah I always imagined they looked the same, just with a palette swap.
Mother_Echo4502@reddit
I thought it was the Frizz also
fpaulmusic@reddit
TOTALLY
Shell831@reddit
Omg
No_Solution_2864@reddit
Same, just with slightly bigger hair and hips
Ordinary_Aioli_7602@reddit
I actually thought it was Ms Frizzle at first
rangeghost@reddit
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Mick_Limerick@reddit
I didn't even watch much MS when I was a kid and somehow I instantly knew it was Ms Frizz
Brave-Panic7934@reddit
Holy shit. I was just about to type this
tuwts@reddit
Same. Didn’t she?
jbotts50@reddit
Yes!!
Wasting-tim3@reddit
Same
shinysquirrel220701@reddit
I always pictured her with frizzy, red ,curly hair
staypuuuuft@reddit
Me, too, but never connected to Ms. Frizzle. I never watched Magic Schoolbus
1920MCMLibrarian@reddit
I’m pretty sure Magic Schoolbus was about a decade after us
surfingbiscuits@reddit
Well, there are a couple things at work here. Of the humanoid Muppet Babies, Scooter, Skeeter, and Beaker all have red hair. Bunsen was green, bald, and eyeless, so he doesn't count. Furthermore, red is the complement of green on the color wheel, so the green socks indirectly prime the suggestion of red hair.
All without invoking Ms. Frizzle -- who wouldn't hit shelves until 1986.
staypuuuuft@reddit
Oh that makes sense. I was young enough for Muppet Babies in 1984, but I was too cool for school by 1986. Because I was nine. And you're probably exactly right about why we all thought red hair. Thank you for your thoughtful response.
ScumbagLady@reddit
I always pictured her as a redhead too! I loved Muppet Babies as a kid (I'm 44 now).
Seems like a lot of commenters also pictured her as a redhead as well! So strange because of it not being a very common hair color (depending on where you live)
flismflasm@reddit
The female version of ronald mcdonald?
GarminTamzarian@reddit
panasonicyouth09@reddit
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
shinysquirrel220701@reddit
Not quite. Think more Bette Midler circa Beaches.
Fairycharmd@reddit
Nanny is Mrs Frizzle’s sister.
Same hair
KnottyCatLady@reddit
Same! I think it's because I associated her socks & shoes with those from the teacher or bus driver of the Majic School Bus.
PleezaJazz@reddit
I think I'm experiencing some kind of mandela effect or something, cause I swear she was shown in one episode. I haven't taken the time to do the research and haven't scoured every single episode to try to see if this was true. I probably just dreamed this all up during naptime at daycare after watching an episode of muppet babies. Cause I have a specific memory of seeing the nanny reveal while at daycare. Anyone else have any sort of vague memory of the nanny being shown??
Scrotchety@reddit
My memory is that the camera pulls up and her face is obscured by some harsh backlighting, and when she blocks the light we can finally see her face and >!surprise, it was Animal on stilts or riding some other muppets piggyback style!<
Maaaaaandyyyyy@reddit
Me too! Wasn’t it the last episode? I feel like I have this memory of her being kinda older with short curled grayish purple hair and wearing a bonnet-like cap.
Bulk-of-the-Series@reddit
Yeah I feel like this happened and like everyone else I can’t prove it. But I specifically remember being disappointed because it was different than what I expected.
CaperGrrl79@reddit
Sounds like Lost Media.
Sharp_Head_7188@reddit
Huge bulge, that starts right above the camera cutoff
tortical@reddit
Glasses with grey hair in a bun. I associated “Nanny” with grandma, rather than caregiver.
CaperGrrl79@reddit
Like Loony Toons Nanny.
tortical@reddit
Exactly. Minus Tweety.
TeaMe06@reddit
The fact that I said muppet babies in my head while seeing this picture just makes me realize how much I loved these shows growing up now I’m 36 and still remember 🤭💜🫶🏾

Last-Management-3457@reddit
Omg yes! Same!
BostonBlackCat@reddit
When I was a kid my dad brought me to a Muppet Babies live theater performance, and what I remember most was that they did have Nanny, but it was just a giant pair of legs that took up the entire stage and disappeared up into the curtains.
Last-Management-3457@reddit
I was obsessed with that part on Muppets take Manhattan!!
goat_penis_souffle@reddit
Yes! The legs were a backdrop behind a door that would swing open when Nanny had dialogue.
someunlikelyone@reddit
Never knew this existed. Absolutely wild.
Here you go:
https://youtu.be/C4UbsaHjrus?si=ysm2ZgJUNaGL6nLa
BostonBlackCat@reddit
Holy crap thanks for that! Had no idea there was a time capsule of this.
marteautemps@reddit
I also went to a Muppet Babies Live performance! Sadly I don't really remember anything about it even though I was on the older end of the demographic, like it was probably the last year I had that going wouldn't of seemed "babyish" I actually remember more that I was able to bring a friend and having a little trouble picking one for that reason. I remember that we enjoyed it though.
Last-Management-3457@reddit
Haha omg what a great post!!! I loved this show so much
CrystalSplice@reddit
Someone roll the tape from Cow and Chicken where they pull back and show their parents are…literally just two sets of legs.
There is no upper body. Where is your god now?

chryco77@reddit
GlitteryFab@reddit
Oh that’s just creepy. And so true.
weltvonalex@reddit
I like the Cow and Chicken solution to that problem.
epidemicsaints@reddit
Like this outfit Pizazz wears in "Lovesick" but her face is homely like Margaret Hamilton / The Wicked Witch out of costume.
FionaGoodeEnough@reddit
Pizazz looks like she would hang out with Patsy on Absolutely Fabulous.
anOvenofWitches@reddit
This is a late season entry as I’m pretty sure that’s Rapture of the Stingers next to Pizzazz
epidemicsaints@reddit
You get an A+, she is making a fool of Pizazz by giving her advice to make Riot notice her. She puts her in this getup and then uses her "gypsy magic" to make a potion out of raw liver and eggs then makes her stand in a weird position and cross her eyes when he walks in.
CaperGrrl79@reddit
"Raw liver?" "To give you fortitude!"
I remember that concoction. It also had ketchup. And olive oil!
"I gotta drink this?!"
"Quickly! Before its magical powers fade away!"
Pizzazz turns as green as her hair and runs off to barf.
Rapture cackles.
epidemicsaints@reddit
I just watched it this week, yes! She also put sopme mysterious powder in it right before she drank it, but as far as I know nothing was revealed in the episode that it had any effect maybe it was more salt to make it gross?
The outfit is really great even though it's supposed to be embarrassing. Reminds me of that old style blog Man Repeller.
CaperGrrl79@reddit
Rapture knew Riot wouldn't want anything to do with Pizzazz lol.
He wanted Jem. But he seemed pretty snuggly with Rapture and... oh my, what was the other girl's name? Rivana?
anOvenofWitches@reddit
Vague recollection of this now! I loved the Stingers. I’m pretty sure they resulted in Jerrica having to come up with a second alias in an episode or two
epidemicsaints@reddit
The Stingers saved the show. Watching it as an adult, the Misfits rivalry wears thin fast. I can only watch Pizazz run over buildings with a tank so many times. My fave plot is when Rapture wears a cloak and ends up getting a concert crowd to join her half baked cult. She poses as a fortune teller and preaches to them from a pyramid or something while the other members pickpocket.
FionaGoodeEnough@reddit
I watched Leave It To Beaver on Nick at Nite at the same time as I was watching this, so I always pictured Barbara Billingsly, the voice actor. But I imagined her with a Dorothy Zbornak haircut as Nanny.
AldusPrime@reddit
Purple and green pigtails, glow sticks, and a heart sticker on her cheek.
With striped leggings like that, always assumed she was a rave girl.
Either that, or just like Mrs. Garrett from The Facts of Life.
PlasticPomPoms@reddit
I just pictured her as an old lady. A lot of people pictured her with red hair and I’m not sure why. Maybe the stockings were reminiscent of Pippi Longstocking
Darth-Buttcheeks@reddit
An older version of princess aurora from voltron.
That’s how my six year old brain worked
surfingbiscuits@reddit
I had her as an older, non-feline WilyKit from ThunderCats, so I'd say that mental circuitry checks out.

Reddish brown hair…. Either with a bob cut with bangs or frizzy/curly neck length hair. And big round glasses.

I have been a preschool teacher for my entire working life (that means I teach kids who are the ages that the muppet babies are supposed to be).
I used to be absolutely enamored with this show, I loved the blending of reality and imagination, and I always appreciated the caring but mostly hands off supervision from nanny.
I have only just realized while looking at this post that a big reason why I ended up with the career I did is because of this show.
Few_Buddy_6491@reddit

Same here. From my memory, she had short grayish hair and purple glasses.
Jr5309@reddit
I swear they had an episode where they panned up to her face, but then it was obscured by light. At most we got an outline.
CorgiMonsoon@reddit
The only time I remember the camera panning up was an episode where they were scared of the dark or something and when the camera panned up she was some sort of monster/space alien
