Bill Nye Muppet
No? -- MuppetDude 17:37, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'll agree, with that outfit and facial features, it looks like a Bill Nye parody to me. What sketch was this from? Theatrefreak25 20:01, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- It's from "Cookie Monster's Experiment", at Sesamestreet.org. -- MuppetDude 20:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Bert Shalit
If someone doesn't mind fixing this photo, I have the elusive Gene Shalit caricature (AKA Bert dressed as him..does that count?)Scooter 07:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
More Sesame Caricatures?
The Sesame Workhop site has a "Parody Descriptions] page, which lists two segments which may have relevance to this category, though lacking a reliable PBS signal right now, I'm hardpressed to verify either myself: "Chasing the Cheese" "A parody of ESPN's sportscaster Chris Berman. A Chris Berman Muppet is the commentator for the annual Sesame Street Chasing the Cheese event. Exercise is discussed as being healthy and fun as we watch the contestants, Telly Monster, Baby Bear, Elmo and Zoe chase the cheese.
And this segment: "24" A parody of the show "24." The Count prepares to watch his favorite television program "24," which takes place in 24 seconds and he gets to count each second. We see a Keifer Sutherland Muppet hanging from a cliff in split-screen format (in the style of the actual television program "24.") With each passing second, the suspense builds and at the end of the 24 seconds he falls a few inches and walks off.
I'm not sure if the latter would count as a caricature or a spoof (likely the latter), or to what extent either are accurate caricatures or, like Dr. Feel, just a careful tailoring of an Anything Muppet. --Andrew, Aleal 01:22, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
