Imagine The Big Lebowski is being remade but all the actors are replaced with muppets, except one. Which actor are you keeping?

Myth?
RedPhule@reddit
Yes?

And I ain't never seen Ms. Piggy in her damned undies, so the feller says

rantiok@reddit
This is the only correct answer btw
RedditGotSoulDoubt@reddit
Walter. That would be most hilarious.
AntonioVargas@reddit
See this way it’s just John Goodman and a bunch of muppets and I just don’t see how that isn’t the Best Picture winner automatically.
Tangible_Slate@reddit
has the whole world gone crazy?
Frankenhoofer@reddit
Am I the only one around here who doesn't have a hand up my ass, making me talk?
Efficient_Mark3386@reddit
I can definetly picture Walter pulling guns, interrogating, biting off ears, and telling a bunch of puppets to shut the fuck up
MouldyBobs@reddit
Meep Meep!
slimredcobb@reddit
Would Sam Eagle not make a killer Walter?
After-Description-26@reddit
AM I WRONG?
Poorgeois@reddit
Jim Henson as Arthur Digby Sellers. Bulk of the series.
Dan_Berg@reddit
Does he still write?
Frankenhoofer@reddit
A good day to you, sir

Well, process of elimination:
Scooter is Brandt Statler and Waldorf are the Big Lebowski Sweetums is Walter Kermit has to be the Dude and Miss Piggy is Maude because thems the Muppet rules for main characters. The Nihilists are probably Dr Teeth and the band although Animal might be the Jesus and Janice could be Bunny. Bunsen and Beaker are clearly the boys at the lab working in shifts. Fozzy is Knox Harrington Sam the Eagle is the Stranger Gonzo and Rizzo are likely Wu and the Blond Guy, and I can see Rowlf as Jackie Treehorn
So yeah, gotta be Donny.
dirtysico@reddit
I admire your work man. However, I feel like gonzo could be a strong Donny. I also suggest keeping Jackie Treehorn as the sole human in this muppets version.
fishbone_buba@reddit
I like Bunsen Honeydew as Jackie Treehorn. Technology guy and all that.
MrJohnnyDangerously@reddit
Came here to say this. He treats objects like women, man...
Ralph--Hinkley@reddit
May I suggest the Sheriff as the human?
brokenwolf@reddit

Haunting_Ant_5061@reddit
Donnie, who loved muppeteering…
BurnerAccount-LOL@reddit
A man of culture, I see!
I like your suggestions, except I really think Ms Piggy should be Bunny.
And Donny is Gonzo!
The human to keep would be Smokey.
Physical_Dentist2284@reddit
I don’t know if I could handle myself if I heard miss piggy say “I’ll suck your cock for $1000.” That might destroy my entire childhood lmao
Proof-Try-394@reddit
Mark it a zero!
marbotty@reddit
I’d say Floyd is Smokey
CuriousSquirrel1213@reddit
Foz is the epitome of having no idea what’s going on.
If Fozzy isn’t Donny, we riot.
Inside_no_9@reddit
Surely Gonzo HAS to be Jesus
MrAndyJay@reddit
I would have gone with Pepe as Jesus. Call him a pepperast.
Lombax_Rexroth@reddit
I love the idea of muppets yelling at the only human to shut the fuck up.
smellsburnttoast@reddit
Crazy Harry is the Jesus.
Lew Zealand is Liam.
AsexualFrehley@reddit
Janice is Sheri, Annie Sue is Bunny
scoosRNR@reddit
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man. (Kermit voice)
Laxku@reddit
Rowlf as Dafino? Love your work man, beautiful stuff.
Jed1M1ndTr1ck@reddit
Brandt (RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman)
LouDog0187@reddit
It's Brandt again.
CF_Traveler_DC@reddit
Which, I assure you, is not a problem.
OhHesThatGuy@reddit
I kinda want to keep Uli or Maude. Just seems funnier that way
thai-stik-admin@reddit
I would say Maude as well. I mean, who wants to see a nude puppet?
Jesus.
MuLeSS76@reddit
I'm throwing everything on its ear and suggesting Arthur Digby Sellers in the iron lung...
TBeard495@reddit
The Dude has to be the only human. It's really the only way it works. He's the main character and interacts with everyone else in the movie. Every scene would have human muppet interaction this way. Otherwise it's just a bunch of muppets talking to each, which would still be funny. But that's just my opinion man.
davster99@reddit
Animal for the Corvette owner
Drewp655321@reddit
lets do two. Larry Sellers and Marty, the only humans the rest muppets
davster99@reddit
Robin could do a great Larry Sellers
LuckAffectionate8664@reddit
All I know is that Sam Eagle is the Big Lebowski and Fozzy is Donny.
Tarphiker@reddit
Naw Sam Eagle is the Malibu Police Chief
davster99@reddit
Sam should cameo at least three different parts - the Stranger, the Sheriff, and the Mortician
LuckAffectionate8664@reddit
All the police with speaking roles are Statler and Waldorf
foxontherox@reddit
Leads!
motorcycleboy9000@reddit
Gonzo is Donnie.
LuckAffectionate8664@reddit
Idk, Gonzo and Rizzo have to fulfill the role of stranger like in mupppet Xmas Carol.
IreCalifornia@reddit
I didn't like seein' Gonzo go that way.

Nah Janice is the nine toed nihilist

"The Pig abides, man," said Kermit the Frog, adjusting the tiny rug in the center of the Muppet Show stage. "Life's a bowl of cherries, and sometimes, well, sometimes it's just a little sticky, you know?" he sighed to Fozzie Bear, who was practicing a bad joke in the corner. "But the show must go on, or whatever the Swedish Chef says."
DasEigentor@reddit
The stranger = Swedish Chef
MrAndyJay@reddit
Omg this is just brilliant. Surely AI could knock this together in about 15 minutes.
Who to keep as the human is incredibly tough.... Saddam Hussein?
newwardorder@reddit
The Dude = Floyd Pepper Walter = Rizzo the Rat Donnie = Elmo Mr. Lebowski = Sam the Eagle Brandt = Scooter Maude = Miss Piggy Bunny = Janice Da Jesus = The Trenchcoat Salesman on Sesame Street Arthur Digby Sellars = Mr. Hooper Carpet pissers = Bert and Ernie Nihilists = The Seksis Knox Harrington = Telly Jackie Treehorn = The worst possible boogeyman who ever existed. ..
I know I’ve left some out, so fire away. However, the more strongly you disagree likely means the human actor is the better choice.
Tasty_Act@reddit
I nominate Rizzo for Walter
Geetzromo@reddit
Now THIS is what AI is for! Get cracking Internet!
foxontherox@reddit
Donnie, you're out of your element.
CuntSlumbart@reddit
It's Walter. He's staying. He's finishing his coffee.
Small-Professor-7015@reddit
Maude
Hagfist@reddit
Brilliant. Fuckin brilliant, Dude. I love it
rounding_error@reddit
Da Fino. Imagine watching an all Muppet movie, for a human to suddenly appear for no reason 80% of the way through the film.
Particular-Wrongdoer@reddit
Liam
LouDog0187@reddit
AKchaos49@reddit
They're all Muppets except the marmot
Frankenhoofer@reddit
I'm more interested in which muppets would play which character. Rowlf the dog for Jackie Treehorn?
LupercaniusAB@reddit
No, Zoot.
Frankenhoofer@reddit
Dr Bunsen Honeydew as the Big Lebowski, and Beaker as his trophy wife. (I know Beaker is a boy, but genderwise I'm pretty cool.)
Natural_Distance_812@reddit
What's crazy is Walter is almost perfect casting for Donnie
CountZero3000@reddit
Flea
woejise@reddit
Flea is already a Muppet
