Beaker. Pure chaos. 10/10

Difficult choice. I like Fozzie’s bad joke schtick, and Statler & Waldorf are classic, but I think my heart truly belongs to Dr. Teeth and by extension all of The Electric Mayhem.

I second that
Kermit. And before you call that a boring pick, might I remind you that this man is the head of what is essentially an art collective from the 70s. He knows how to have fun.

Also leading the Frog Resistance. :)

Dr. Teeth. “Golden teeth and golden tones, welcome to my presence.”
Lew Zealand
A true fan here.
Yup. Didn’t include a picture because if you don’t know who he is, you have already failed.
Lew is right up there with Crazy Harry.
Did somebody say Crazy Harry? KaBOOM
Lew Zealand

Lew Zealand’s act involves boomerang fish: "I throw them away, and they come back to me!" His first appearance was in episode 310 of The Muppet Show, where his timely boomerang fish throwing saved Kermit from being tricked into a real marriage during Miss Piggy's sleuthfully-designed "wedding sketch." Lew Zealand was meant to only appear in that one episode, and he was made from a Whatnot designed by Dave Goelz. However, after that, a more permanent puppet was built and Lew Zealand became a...

Rizzo the Rat is unfortunately gone. His original creator and performer, Steve Whitmire, was dismissed by Disney in 2016 and they haven’t announced plans to hire a new performer for Rizzo since.

On the Muppets shows and movies, they’ve fully replaced Rizzo with Pepe the King Prawn. He’s Gonzo’s new annoying sidekick.

Me personally, I’ve always been a Kermit fan. He’s exactly like me, personality-wise. And I’ve definitely dated a Miss Piggy or two over the years…

Oh no! I love Pepe but he’s no Rizzo. That’s heartbreaking.

This. A terrible surgeon by all accounts, but laid-back and entirely competent as a musician.

Fozzie also proved to be a competent pianist, but his personality, or at least his "on" stage persona, well, that leaves something to be desired.

Rowlf & Fozzie-English Country Garden

A personal favorite that always makes me laugh.

YouTube
Fozzie is a great comedian, if your idea of a great comedian is someone that tells bad jokes and knows how to take a few tomatoes to the face.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Fozzie, in fact I think I kind of want to give the guy a hug.

The man (or rather, bear) just wants to be loved after all. He wants to make people laugh and have them be happy. He's the clown with a touch of melancholy, and might even be in my top 10. He's just not top of the list.

My lovable, furry old pal Grover
Seconding Grover. His adventures are the best!

I learned all about spatial relations from Grover. He nailed the near-far conundrum.

Im not a fighter, I’m a Grover.

Tim Curry
Ah yeah the classic Michael Caine acted like the muppets were normal people and Tim curry acted like he was also a muppet.
Steve Buscemi.
I could narrow down maybe but no way I could come down to one. I mean even the ones who only appeared a few times are in the running.

Pepe. The whole concept of a prawn Muppet is amazing.

Animal for sure. But also really the entire band.

Although a large part of that comes from the best Robot Chicken Sketch in their entire series…

The only one that counts. I’ll show myself out. . .

Are we talking muppet muppets? Or can we go all old fashioned?

If so my choice is Big Bird.

Rizo and Gonzo. Don’t make me pick just one.
