Which Muppet are You?

You are high-maintenance and attention-seeking. You are ruled by your emotions and are overly dramatic. You want to be seen as glamorous and need to be seen in the most showy and expensive clothes. Life is a shallow performance for you. You've been known to scheme for romantic love. You are obsessed with the superficial, like how you look and sometimes end up looking like bacon dressed as ham.

You are grounded in reality and responsible.   You step up to positions of responsibility like leadership positions.  You are frustrated by madness and disorder and irritated by overt silliness and melodramatics.  You enjoy engaging in intelligent discussion.  You don't believe in fairy-tales, like kissed frogs turning into princes.  You are comfortable in your own skin - white, black, green or otherwise. You're practical and sensible, but a tad boring.  

You are cuddly and affectionate and have a child-like wide-eyed look.  You try to make people laugh, even if it's by telling lame jokes in a nasal voice.  What you lack in intelligence, you make up for in enthusiasm.   You are extroverted and want to be liked.  You like the sound of your own voice and don't know when to shut up.  Sometimes, people find you exhausting to bear.

You are energetic and competitive and prone to tantrums.  You unleash your crazy inner animal and your wild primal instincts.  You don't care for sophisticated speech or even to string words into sentences - guttural grunts are enough.  You are uninhibited about satisfying your basic appetites.  You need a physical way to let off steam, before you erupt in rage.

You're well-liked for your warm, friendly personality.  You're laid back and mellow and are always good-natured, calm and cheerful.  Your well-developed ears make for good listening. You know just the background music needed to listen to people's woes.  You tell witty stories at the appropriate times.  You have an artistic side, and sometimes surprise people when you can be light-hearted and silly (usually after a few beers).

You lack social skills and prefer working with things and ideas rather than people.  You don't express yourself well verbally and come across as nervous or timid.  As a result, you are prone to being bullied.  You are a glutton for punishment, going back for more.  You are inquisitive and quirky.  You wonder why romantic chemistry and fireworks doesn't seem to happen for you.

You're cool and hip, even when you're old enough to need a hip replacement.  Being popular and in the 'in' crowd is important to you - which influences your hair, clothes and speech patterns.  Your lingo includes phrases like 'fur sure!' 'totally!' 'whatever!' which can make you come across as an air-head.  You are groovy and into the latest music.

You have a creative streak but are very messy.  You might cook up a storm, but leave others to do the dishes.  You babble on, mindlessly, often with incomprehensible nonsense and frequently invent words.  You are disorganised and easily distracted.  You are silly which can be funny, even though you are not trying to be.  You enjoy clowning around and lose track of time (which can result in a few pots boiled dry).

You are a misfit - misunderstood by others but then you don't exactly understand yourself.  You are a daredevil that engages in risky behaviour, trying to impress others.  Because you're gullible and such a try-hard, you fall prey to pranks.   You like dangerous stunts that involve height, fire and explosions.   Your looks don't draw positive attention, so you try to gain approval and acceptance by daring behaviour.

You're cynical and sarcastic with a mocking humour. You are a comic genius at someone else's expense. You're so focused on shredding others with lacerating wit, that you fail to see your short-comings - that you can be a grumpy old man (or woman). You complain a lot, but always go back for more.
