The Tournament of Muppets, Day 2
Pepe the King Prawn was shut out! Dr. Julius Strangepork was shot down! And Animal was defeated by Gonzo, prompting a flurry of reader contempt, disgust and disbelief (and a call for the wild percussionist to be brought back into the ring as a wildcard entry down the road). But what’s most important is that, after yesterday’s Tournament of Muppets debut, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Scooter and the Swedish Chef live to die another day – as does our Tournament of Muppets.
Click the graphic to see who comes out on top of four new matchups — this time, featuring Statler and Waldorf, Fozzie Bear and, of course, Kermit the Frog. May the best Muppet win!
This is, of course, awesome.
Behold: The Tournament of Muppets
