Ugliest Muppet Ever?
April 24th, 2008
Anybody who knows me well knows that I am a huge fan of the Muppets. That said I believe the gambler puppet in this version of Kenny Rogers “The Gambler”, has to be the ugliest old man puppet ever. Notice three things in the video and see if you agree: 1) The cancerous lump behind the gambler (Yes, I know it is the puppeteer) 2) His extremely matted hair 3) He is sitting beside Mark Twain – OMG. (Not really relevant to the state of ugly, but it is interesting none the less.)
It’s also pretty disturbing that the song ends with the Muppet’s death. At least he seems happy about it.
