Copy & paste this:


first!
CONGRATS!
I thought it was “Snuffleupagus”?
So did I. And apparently Wiki agrees. Mr. Snuffleupagus is the entry. Didn’t know he has a first name, too. Aloysius Snuffleupagus.
Same here.
looks like Guy Smiley belongs between Human and Descriptive, not Human and Silly
Or all three, but definitely in descriptive. Also, I don’t think Rowlf the Dog is too silly.
I would think the Yip Yips belong in “Descriptive Silly” as well. Gonzo and Sweetums, too.
It’s silly because Rawlf sounds like a bark, and is a play on the German version of Ralph.
guy smiley should be all three not the dog dude
Kermit, Elmo and Oscar are human?
The names are, yes.
When was the last time you met someone named Kermit or Elmo?
Last week – our retired banker is named Kermit
One of my great-great uncles is named Kermit. Then again, he’s 97 this year
My Father-in-Law is named Kermit.
They have human names.
Where’s Sam the Eagle? I’m sure he would have an official complaint to make about this….or is name etymology not cultural or wholesome enough for him?
There’s a guy at my job that looks like Sam the Eagle, heh
Cool story, bro
Finally, a Venn diagram that is actually a proper Venn diagram!
i totally agree
Since when is “Rowlf the dog” a human name? :\
sounds a little like rolf?
It’s a play on “Ralph”. So a human name, descriptive, and maybe the doggy spelling makes it silly.
Statler and Waldorf have their own diagram, making fun of this one.
A+
YES!
how is guy smiley not all 3?
Wait…aren’t like half of the those Sesame Street Characters?
Well they’re all made by Henson.
Sesame Street Muppets are still Muppets.
Kermit is the only Muppet who appeared regularly on both Sesame Street AND The Muppet Show.
There were also a whole other group of Muppets who were on the first season of Saturday Night Live (1976?).
Rowlf is the very first muppet. Jim Henson designed him way back in the 1960s and he appeared on the Dean Martin Show, where he played the piano, sometimes with Jimmy Durante. He was great back then, as well.
Sorry, the Alzheimer’s is kicking in. I meant The Jimmy Dean Show, not Dean Martin. Hell to get old and senile!!!
Oh look. An image stolen from another site. I thought the point of this site was to make your own?
If you say it’s stolen but don’t post a link, you might as well be making it up.
no need to post a link… the graph says “college humor” on it, DUH!!!
Technically, his name is Count Von Count. Don’t know if that moves him to another category.
As I remember, Gonzo is a human name too.
the swedish chef should be under human and descriptive.
YOU FAIL.
Yes. FAIL!
kermit the frog isnt human, hes a frog.
same with rowlf the dog. hes a dog.
and swedish chef is a human
wrong, wrong, wrong
other than that, great graph

wrong, wrong, wrong!
other than that, great graph
sorry, double post
Dog. Doooog. Yip yip yip yip yip dog.
You don’t understand how the graph works.
‘Human’ refers to the etymology of the name not the characteristic of the Muppet. It’s a ‘human’ name. So Kermit is a human name (Irish in origin) with a descriptive term – hence human and descriptive. Swedish Chef is a purely descriptive name. Rowlf the Dog is silly and human (comically spelled version of Ralph) and descriptive.
So in fact, you are wrong, wrong, wrong!
BEST GRAPH EVEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!
So umm…technically shouldn’t Gonzo fit in the “descriptive” part of the graph as well? >.>
I wouldn’t call ‘Elmo’ a weird name. I know a couple of people names Elmo. They’re both above the age of 50.
I would think the Yips would have been in the overlap of “Silly” and “Descriptive”. They say “yip” and they do look silly. Just my thought. I’m sure the creator could accuratly defend their work. Awesome diagram.
you forgot BEEKER!!!!!! the guy that always says meep!!!!!!!!!
Oh so many things wrong with this! Miss Piggy isn’t there, and things are in the wrong categories
