I saw someone mention Rocky Horror performed by #Muppets and i can't stop thinking about it.

Obviously Kermit & Piggy would be Brad & Janet, but who would you cast in the other roles?

Okay, talking with @adhdeanasl about this idea and after going back & forth with jokes about Statler & Waldorf I think the greatest idea emerged.

Statler & Waldorf just watching movies & making fun of them, MST3K style.

Come on, Disney. Make this happen.

@mdmrn Frank-N-Furter would have to be Gonzo. He’s the freakiest muppet.

Eddie: Animal. Maybe Sweetums.

Riff Raff: Rizzo

Rocky: Link Hogthrob

Magenta: Janice

@adhdeanasl @mdmrn Fozzie Bear as Rocky instead?
Show threadADHDeanASLMay 20, 2023
@jspath55 @mdmrn It would definitely work as a gag
Show threadMDMRNMay 20, 2023

@adhdeanasl @jspath55 I agree on Gonzo as Frank N Furter.

Personally, I kind of like Dr. Teeth for Eddie. But, Animal could be hilarious in that role too. Either way I still kind of like Janice from Electric Mayhem as Columbia over Magenta.

Part of me really likes Scooter and Skeeter for Magenta and Riff Raff  

OH! And Professor Bunson Honeydew for Dr. Scott...maybe that's too on the nose

@mdmrn @jspath55 The great thing about the muppets is that they’re all utility players

@adhdeanasl @jspath55 It's true! 

I mean, Rowlf could also be a really fun choice for Eddie.

And a truly hilarious choice for Rocky - Pepe the Prawn.

Related - if you told no one the cast and just cast in Sam the Eagle as Frank N Furter who then plays the role entirely deadpan. Picture it. Picture Sam the Eagle dressed as Tim Curry was in the film

@mdmrn @adhdeanasl This reminds me of the mash-up videos with Oscar doing Tom Waits songs.

@mdmrn @jspath55 Rowlf as Eddie would be classy as hell
Show threadMDMRNMay 21, 2023
@adhdeanasl @jspath55 I know, right? He'd absolutely class up that role.

@mdmrn @jspath55 What if Eddie is the entire Electric Mayhem band, and Magenta is Carlotta the chicken?
Show threadMDMRNMay 21, 2023

@adhdeanasl @jspath55 I like it. I like it.

I also like having Statler & Waldorf serve as the criminologist together. But let them be as snarky as they always are as they narrate.

@mdmrn @jspath55 Don’t let Disney see this until you have copyright
Show threadMDMRNMay 21, 2023

@adhdeanasl @jspath55 Yea, cause if I failed at that - I'd have to go with my second choice: an all Smurf Rocky Horror cast

And that's just not as fun.

Except for Papa Smurf as Frank N Furter...obviously.

@mdmrn @adhdeanasl They'd be like the 007 Blofeld: bump one off and the other takes their place.

@adhdeanasl @jspath55 I love literally everything about Statler & Waldorf narrating Rocky Horror.

Heck, I'd love to see them watch the actual movie & just make commentary like this. Or other movies.

Statler & Waldorf's version of MST3K.

Show threadADHDeanASLMay 21, 2023

@mdmrn @jspath55 I was just thinking the same thing. They could have an entire series. Pick classic cult films and just go to town on them

Waldorf: I’ve been rooting for the guy with the chainsaw since the kid in the wheelchair opened his mouth!

Show threadMDMRNMay 21, 2023

@adhdeanasl @jspath55 I mean, with what Disney owns now - including that deep 20th Century Fox film collection and LucasFilms options, the possibilities just are endless.

Statler & Waldorf making fun of Star Wars or Moulin Rouge.

Sam is obviously going to be the narrator.
