Muppet memes

The Muppets are proof that you can stick googly eyes on felt and somehow create characters more emotionally complex than half the people you meet in real life. These muppet memes show just how much chaotic brilliance Jim Henson left behind. The Muppets aren’t cute—they’re anarchists with morals.

There’s something inherently funny about puppets behaving like disgruntled adults. They complain, they panic, they cause mayhem, and they do it all with floppy limbs and stitched‑on smiles. It’s impossible not to laugh.

These muppet memes tap into decades of nostalgia. Whether it’s Kermit spiraling, Miss Piggy snapping, or Fozzie telling jokes no one asked for, the Muppets are eternal meme fuel.

After scrolling through these muppet memes, you’ll remember why these characters stuck with you for so long. Their personalities are loud, messy, and wonderfully relatable. Even in meme form, they deliver the same chaotic charm that made them iconic.

Jim Henson may be gone, but the memes keep the spirit alive.
