Everyone else in the real world is human, everything else in the fantasy world is muppets.

Except Tim Curry.

It’d be a great skit, but the gag would get old pretty quick for anything full-length.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Do you're saying we'd only get seven or eight seasons of it ?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It'd get old by the end of the skit.

I for sure would. Ryan Reynolds as a Bard being played by Gonzo.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

Gonzo is DM.

Fozzie = wise cracking Bard

Miss Piggy = Half-Oink Barbarian

Kermit = Elven Ranger

Animal = Wild magic Sorcerer

~~Rolf~~ Sam the Eagle = paladin

Rolf = Druid

Dr. Teeth: BBEG, trying to rule the realm with Electric Mayhem

Rizzo is obviously the rogue.

And Swedish Chef the local barkeep

Honeydew & Beaker run the apothecary shop

Dr. Teeth: BBEG, trying to rule the realm with Electric Mayhem

But Animal is their drummer.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

Shhhhhhhhhhh! He's a sleeper agent...Turns on the rest of the party at the end!

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I like Rolf, but i think Sam the Eagle would be better a better choice as an uptight paladin.

So kind of like Drunk History but with muppet dialogue instead of slurred speech?

If so, I'm sold.

[–] supergrizzlybear@pawb.social 59 points 4 days ago (13 children)

there is nothing that cannot be improved by the addition of muppets

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (14 children)

Porn

Edit: people think porn could be improved by adding Muppets?

Oh how quickly history forgets the horrors of the past...

Unfamiliar with Peter Jackson's pre LOTR work?

Have you witnessed the glory of Pterodactyl Porn? (Don't look up Attack of the Flying Lizard if you have any taste or morals.)

Watch it? Hell, I'd crowdfund it if it wasn't for the fact that Muppets are a Disney property. The House of the Mouse has more than enough cash to make this work.

FWIW, this format would work with a bunch of awkward teens at the game table.

You could also go the other way and re-release "Honor among Thieves" by constantly cutting away to the game table with hilarious die-rolls and the rest. Think: "Of Dice and Men", or "Dorkness Rising".

If you're okay with them not being muppets, check out Dorkness Rising. Once they start playing, about 15 minutes in, the action bounces back between the players and the characters. It's old but still works.

[–] Mesophar@pawb.social 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Dorkness Rising is their second movie, and it makes a lot of references and throwbacks to the first.

Dead Gentleman Productions

Holy fuck this is GOLD!

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 32 points 4 days ago

Drunk history X muppets. There you go

[–] Skellysgirl@lemm.ee 21 points 4 days ago

It’s a yes from me. Hitting the golden button!

[–] jpablo68@infosec.pub 8 points 4 days ago

I would. Honestly.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 13 points 4 days ago

Good lord this is brilliant !

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

This is brilliant ! I would watch it in a heartbeat.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You might enjoy HarmonQuest! Bonus fun fact: the DM was originally just an audience member when Dan Harmon came up with the idea and asked for a DM, but is now a regular cast member.

Maybe the first episode could be shot with the famous actors playing it up for the camera, and the rest of the campaign could be just a podcast with the Muppet voice actors and maybe slideshow illustrations for YouTube/Patreon?

I love the original idea, but there's no way that would be sustainable for the art least hour a week content I feel most podcast subscribers would expect.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So Jumanji The Next Level movie?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Jack black is obnoxious but he really did nail the high school girl impression.
