CollegeHumorEdit

In an animated parody called "Angry Birds PSA" released on February 22, 2011, Miss Piggy and Big Bird are among various fictional birds and pigs who decry the bird-on-pig violence of the Angry Birds video game. Piglet, Donald Duck, and Daffy Duck also appear.
"If Adult TV Shows Were Remade for Children" from July 28, 2011, imagines a kids' version of Mad Men titled Mad Men Babies, using a Muppet Babies-like font, a Nanny-like character, and a sign reading "Henson Cooper Nursery".

FredEdit

In Fred Goes to the Movies!, Fred goes to see an R-rated movie titled Nightmare on Sesame Street.

JibJabEdit

In their 2011 Year in Review video "2011, Buh-Bye!", popsicle stick puppets of Bert and Ernie appear singing "We told the whole world, 'We're not gay!'" Caricatures of Kermit the Frog and Jason Segel are also seen briefly.
- The original gag intended for Bert and Ernie (pictured below) was that they would pop up with female pigeons and a female Rubber Duckie.^[1]

MythbustersEdit

In the Mythbusters aftershow for the episode of Mythbusters aired on November 23, 2011, Adam Savage remarks that he got the idea for his bright-red game-show-host suit: "The only game show hosts who wear super-loud suits are the ones on Sesame Street, which is clearly what I was influenced by." (video)

Pube MuppetEdit

The titular character is a disembodied, homosexual Kermit head with pubic hair (represented as black scribbles). "Pube" versions of other characters feature, such as "Pube Piggy", "Pube Jason" (Gonzo), "Pube Swedish Chef", "Pube Nerd" (Scooter) and "Pube Cookie Monster".

Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon ComedyEdit

In "A Scotsman who can't watch a movie without shouting..." the title character watches The Muppet Movie and yells at Kermit for not using his brain to make decisions such as taking a Studebaker to Hollywood, and picking up other puppets on the way. (YouTube)

Tiny FuppetsEdit

A cartoon created by Scott Gairdner satirizing both Muppet Babies and hastily-produced foreign knockoffs of American cartoons, supposedly an original Portuguese creation whose creator is apparently unaware of the existence of Muppet Babies.
