Not one muppet, but this exchange:

Gonzo: "It just feels weird."

Rizzo: "That Mr Arrow is dead?"

Gonzo: "Yeah, that. And my pants are filled with starfish."

Rizzo: "...you and your hobbies!"

    Miss Piggie is pure comedy gold. Everything she does is hilarious.

    That or Tim Curry

    As a kid I always hated Miss Piggie since she as sort of the humourless foil to Kermit but I think I can appreciate porcine Yoda a bit more now if only for the voice.

    humorless Kermit

    But Kermit was clearly the straight man in the show

    He was, undoubtedly. But in my memory and my conception of the two characters, their interactions were always like this . With Miss Piggy the angry diva or upset girlfriend to Kermit having a chuckle. It might actually have been that that happened maybe a couple of times ever but as a little kid you don't have the best grasp of nuance so that's the impression it formed. I also had obviously a lot less appreciation for characters having roles and functions so even though that exchange was actually really funny and very memorable since I still remember it even today, as a child I only take it on a very literal level, so Miss Piggy isn't a diva character that creates funny situations by being quick to anger and not tolerating anything she considers beneath her, instead she's "mean" or "fussy" you know? Obviously different as a grown up, but it made me not like the character as a kiddo.

    Animal.

    I know he won’t be top of many people’s lists of favourite but he’s always been the one I liked. Might not be the funniest or have many lines in any of the shows or films but there’s just something I like about him.

    How has nobody said Statler and Waldorf, yet? Easily the best.

    When I was a kid, it was Animal.

    Now that I'm an adult and a parent, it's Kermit.

    Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, as a whole.

    I guess within the band, my ranking would go:

    • Dr Teeth
    • Animal
    • Janice
    • Zoot
    • Floyd
    • Lips

    It's hard to pick a favorite, but the Swedish chef was always a laugh

    It's so hard to pick just one. They all have their moments.

    ...except Miss Piggy, who has always annoyed me beyond measure.
