Poll: Jian is

this one hasn't been covered yet. at least not that i know of.

i think jian is animal (the drums thing and the wildness, and that picture on the liner notes of live noise is so animal)� but he could work as gonzo cuz of the nose

mike is rolf

we took a poll once of mike, jian, murray, and tobey (where was dave? i can't remember) and they all had great answers. when i get home and can find that notebook, i'll post 'em.

...Is Kermit simply because Rainbow Connection has that incessant (sp?) banjo line in the background.

I chose animal.� But Jian could totally be my mom.� We both have those persian skin/hair/eyes.� Oh.. that's not funny if you've never seen me. Sensitive light skin, blonde hair, green light sensitive eyes.� Just like Jian!

I know Jian thought he was Kermit or Animal. A few of them said that Murray and Jian were Burt and Ernie.

because of the drums, and because they're both nearly entirely id. ("Wo-man! Wo-man! Beat drums!")

"i what do! eat drums!"
"no, animal! BEAT drums!"
"BEAT DRUMS! BEAT DRUMS!"

Murray = Sam the Eagle
Dave = Dr. Bunson Honeydew (but was mistakenly called Beeker during the show)
Jian = Kermit (because of the voice)

As far as I know these have all been mentioned onstage.

yes yes yes!!!

although it's hard to imagine Animal spouting politics.

Bush Bad!!� Me like healthcare!

how is jian's voice like kermit's?� neither speaking nor singing (except in killer tents maybe)�

yeah and b/c kermit is kinda the leader and i always thought of dave as "the leader" maybe b/c he's the king of spain. . . .

Well, it's like Jim Henson's, anyway.

hmm. . .yeah. . .i guess i can see that

i actually think mike is either animal or crazy harry :)

or lew zealand..throwing his fish

Mike is SO Fozzy with the bad jokes. :)

OMG!!!!

that SO cracked me up!!!!!

just -never- interfere with grrrrodan when he is asking this question to bandos.

coz then he feels you're influencing their answers *cough* fordy *cough*

and iffin we were doin sesame street, let's all remember that jian is big bird.

*chuckle*

I found the "cannonical list!" To recap we asked all the frulads and Tobey how to map fruvous onto the Muppets. This is what they said.

• Murray
  
  • Jian = Ernie
  
  
  • Murray = Bert
  
  
  • Mike = Animal
  
  
  • Dave = Sam the Eagle
  
  
  
• Mike
  
  • Jian = Ernie
  
  
  • Murray = Bert
  
  
  • Mike = Oscar (thanks to Shelly)
  
  
  • Dave = Animal



• Jian
  
  • Jian = Kermit/Animal
  
  
  • Murray = Zoot
  
  
  • Mike = Fozzie
  
  
  • Dave = Bert



• Tobey
  
  • Jian = Gonzo
  
  
  • Murray = Sam the Eagle
  
  
  • Mike = Scooter
  
  
  • Dave = Statler *and* Waldorf

What does it say about the Batnose Brigade that when we had a chance to talk to the Frulads about anything, this is what we asked?

Funny, I hadn't thought of it before, but I always viewed Dave as "the leader" as well.

I totally forgot about this!�� I must have been somewhere else at the time.

For the record, I have to agree with Tobey's list.�

hee...i think you *were* in the kitchen when fordy told gordon to go to hell, tho. :)

I don't remember that. Fordy was mean to me? Do all the Frulads hate me? I thought it was just Jian. What was that in response to.

i believe it was in response to just that -- you said jian was the only mean one, and fordy was always nice to you. heeeee. :)

I have to remember to add that to my list of celebrity who insulted me.

I guess Kermit's naked, let's talk about that!!

Does anyone...� nah, it's too easy.

Jill Friedman and I have been found on more than one occasion doing just such an animal/Jian impression.

Nononono... Jian sounds exactly like Big Bird in Welcome To C.

jian always sounds like big bird.

Not true. He has two distinct tenors to his voice. There's the higher Big Bid tenor that he usally uses when singing, and then in his speech he will drop his voice as can be heard on the Intra-Pennsylvania Rivalry track, for example, or the intro to Fly.
