Behind The Scenes At The Muppet Theatre

by Lil' Fizz

Story 2. Kermit and Miss Piggy's two children, Axel and Jasmine have been set a school project to make a presentation about their home. But instead of making a PowerPoint or a boring old booklet, they decided to grab a camera and make a film of it! Prepare to see the Muppet Theatre like you've never seen it before, through the eyes of two excitable, boisterous children!

3. Fozzie Bear

Jasmine, Axel and Fozzie are in Fozzie's dressing room. Axel is setting up the camera, Fozzie is smoothing down his fur and Jasmine is telling him not to get too excited because it's just a homework project.

Fozzie: So, what is this for again?

Axel: This is our homework project. We're just going to give you a quick interview.

Fozzie: OK. Hey, did you hear the joke about the jam?

Jasmine: No jokes please, Fozzie

Fozzie: Alright, I won't tell you, you'll only spread it!

[Jasmine and Axel groan]

Axel: Camera's rolling.

Fozzie: Oh, great! How do I look? [He peers into the camera, a banana in one hand and a rubber chicken in the other]

Jasmine: You really do love the limelight, don't you?

Jasmine: That's very sweet. So you're a comedian, but what is your role behind the scenes?

Fozzie: Well I like to think I'm quite important because I'm Kermit's best friend. Do you remember that time when he was off sick, so he put me in charge of the show? That was brilliant. It really showed his trust in me.

Axel: Either that or he'd lost his mind.

Fozzie: Hey! Don't you think I get enough of that already?

Jasmine: So, anyway, Fozzie. If you're Dad's best friend that means you're kind of like an uncle to us. Can we call you Uncle Fozzie?

[Axel makes a disgusted sound but Jasmine and Fozzie ignore it]

Fozzie: Sure! Hey, did you hear about Vincent Van Gough's magician uncle? He was called Wherediddy Gough! Ahhhhh! Wocka, Wocka!

[Axel and Jasmine look at each other and sigh]

Axel: Well, we'd better stop here before you tell anymore rubbish jokes.

Fozzie: Can't I tell you the joke about the broken bicycle?

Jasmine: No, please don't!

Fozzie: Alright, alright, it doesn't go anywhere!

[Axel turns the camera off]

Fozzie: No, no, no wait! I didn't tell the one about the monkey and the-

Sorry for the abrupt end but I thought it would be funny.
