Pitch: Muppet Lord of the Rings. Miss Piggy as Eowyn. Imagine her just throwing herself at a human man playing Aragorn. Imagine her defeating the Witch-King of Angmar by going “HI-YA!” and karate chopping him.
Throwing herself at Aragorn
Then Kermit arrives as Faramir and she just bodily pitches Aragorn offscreen
Aragorn is, of course, played by Viggo Mortensen reprising his role
(Gollum falls into the lava of Mount Doom)
Statler: If you ask me Gollum’s the lucky one
Waldorf: The lucky one?
Statler: He doesn’t have to be in the movie any more!
Both: DO-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO!
I had never thought of this before, but I now I must see it.
Please may I live long enough to see Muppet Lord of the Rings manifest.
Noting, by the way, that Kermit!Faramir is problematic, since Kermit kind of has to be Frodo.
@jaynaneeya I don’t recall where you stand on muppets, but I feel like your input on this would be very helpful.
Update: I consulted my partner in crime, who said Miss Piggy should play Galadriel.
Yavanna, Kementàri, queen of the Earth and giver of fruits 🌱🍐🌽. Also creatress of the Ents and the two trees of Valinor. Wife of Aulë.
Aulë, the blacksmith god ⛰️💎🔨, lord of matter and all crafts, father of the Dwarves. Creator of the Two Lamps and the vessels of the Sun and Moon. Husband of Yavanna.
Sinéad’s birthday is coming up, so I’m planning to gif an important Sinéad moment or series of moments every day from now until then. And what better way to kick off her birthday countdown than the moment that started it all? If Sinéad hadn’t written “Edgar Allan Poe Buys Girl Scout Cookies” and then actually made it, Shipwrecked Comedy might not even exist, and if it did, it would certainly look very different. So thank you for this, Sinéad!
