Celebrities: what a crowd of muppets

Both Darren and Rick have covered Sesame Street this week. I was beginning to feel left out inspired. So here, gratuitous celebrity lookalikes - in fact some are so uncanny you'd have to wonder where they got the inspiration:

























All these and more on TMZ. The Elmo one is just scary.

Who's your favourite Sesame Street / Muppet show muppet, and if you could pick one to play you, who would it be? I think I'd go for Count Von Count.

  1. The Ben Affleck one is genius.

    I loves Elmo - I wants to take him home as my pet.

  5. some awesome likenesses.

    can i top that? sortof.
    i did a photoshoot yesterday of the puppeteer for the main character in the Northern Ireland version of Sesame Street, called Sesame Tree, which began airing on BBC in April.

    I didn't get to see any sesame street characters, though i did see some which were very like those in Labyrinth.

  9. Really quite excellently done, Darragh. Hilarious stuff.

    Does anyone have a JPEG of the thing the Irish Sun did a few years ago of the Irish soccer team as muppets? Now that was a classic.
