The Office?

I assume you mean the US version because you're probably a loser because most people are.

It's a good show but you gotta recognise that it's for losers.

Anyway here's Muppets The Office

Muppets The Office (US)

My definitive cast list for a Muppets adaptation of The Office (US)

Michael Scott — Fozzie Bear

Jim Halpert — Kermit the Frog

Pam Beesly — Miss Piggy

Dwight Schrute — The only human. Rainn Wilson again. I just really want to see Dwight get extremely angry at Kermit the Frog.

Ryan Howard — Scooter (duh)

Andy Bernard — Gonzo

Toby — Sweetums. He's got that slight patheticness about him that would make it both fun and sad to see Fozzie Bear bullying him.

Phyllis — Statler and Waldorf. It's less that they'd be playing Phyllis and rather that they would be replacing her.

Stanley — Rowlf

Kevin — Swedish Chef

Oscar — Rizzo the Rat

Angela — Miss Poogy

Kelly — Camilla the Chicken (duh)

Creed Bratton — Creed Bratton

Muppets Pluribus

Pluribus but if it happened to The Muppets.

All the humans except Carol and Manousos (still Rhea Seehorn and Carlos-Manuel Vesga respectively) are part of the hive.

The only other survivors apart from them are every one of the Muppets, playing themselves (not playing the characters) (meaning there's way more than 12 survivors in this version).

What you end up with is something virtually identical to Pluribus except for the parts of the show where you see any other survivor.

Miss Piggy would be a stand-in for Koumba.

Muppets Dimension 20.

Not a Muppets adaptation of Fantasy High or whatever. I want a season of Dimension 20 in which The Muppets play Dungeons & Dragons.

Obviously Brennan Lee Mulligan is the only human and he's the DM.

The players and their character classes are as follows:

Kermit — Paladin. He'd be trying to hold everything together while the game descends into chaos. Unfortunately for him Brennan keeps "Yes, and"-ing the others.

Miss Piggy — Princess. I know this isn't a class and she knows it too but she would insist that Brennan create a new "Princess" class for her.

Gonzo — Wizard. Constantly casting fireball.

Fozzie Bear — Bard.

Scooter — Rogue. He was nervous about going on the show and *really* didn't want to but he's the only Muppet who knows anything about D&D so they dragged him into it.

Rowlf — Barbarian. But he would be really bad at playing a Barbarian. Honestly he would just be happy to be included, but he probably wouldn't do much until a really pivotal moment near the end where he gets a nat 20 and somehow saves the day.

Statler and Waldorf would also be there, off to the side, doing their thing.

I feel like they could pull off a 4-episode season or at least a one-off special.

If you liked my recent Muppets cast posts, I have now made a blog where I plan to create more objectively correct casts for Muppets adaptations of things. If you have any requests for media I should Muppets Cast, please send them there. Good day.

Next up, my definitive Muppets Breaking Bad cast.

Walter White — The only human, this time played by Nick Offerman.

Skylar White — Miss Piggy. Duh.

Walter Jr — Robin the Frog.

Ted Beneke — Kermit the Frog. He's *just* enough of a loser for the role.

Hank Schrader — Rowlf the Dog.

Marie Schrader — Janice.

Jesse Pinkman — Scooter.

Saul Goodman — Fozzie Bear. Works because he's comic relief but also this would lead into Muppets Better Call Saul and I think Fozzie would do really well in a dramatic role.

Mike Ehrmentraut — Sam Eagle.

Gale Boetticher — Bunsen and Beaker (the role being split between them à la Marley and Marley)

Gustavo Fring — Gonzo.

Lydia — Camilla the Chicken.

Hector Salamanca — Swedish Chef.

Tuco Salamanca — Animal.

The Salamanca Twins — Statler and Waldorf.

Badger — Rizzo the Rat.

Skinny Pete — Pepe the Shrimp.

Huell Babineaux — Sweetums.

Controversial one incoming:

Todd — Walter, of The Muppets (2011) fame.

Uncle Jack — Uncle Deadly. And no it's not just because they're both named "Uncle". Deadly is like evil kinda which nazis are also.

If I left any out. Uhh. Shut up

[built-in-a-day]

In honor of the return of The Muppet Show, here is my definitive Muppets Les Mis cast:

(NO ONE CAN DISPUTE ME ON THIS I'M OBJECTIVELY CORRECT)

Jean Valjean — Uncle Deadly. He's got that scrappiness to him.

Javert — Sam Eagle. I feel like Deadly and Sam are kind of inverses of each other because they're both blue and one of them is supposedly "good" and the other is supposedly "bad", which reflects Jean Valjean and Javert in that one of them is the "evil" criminal and the other is the "noble" law enforcement officer (ACAB), which the story flips on its head by saying that "law abiding" does not equal "moral", and I feel these two characters could perform that very well.

Fantine — Camilla the Chicken. I was originally going to put Miss Piggy in this role but it would be really funny to have Camilla sing her little "bwok bwok bwok" to the tune of I Dreamed A Dream and have English subtitles underneath.

Cosette — The only human. Not sure exactly who I'd cast but it would need to be someone with the same ethos as Michael Caine, who would take the role very seriously and respect the muppets as actors.

Marius — Kermit.

Éponine — Miss Piggy. She would absolutely eat up On My Own.

Enjolras — Gonzo. This is the most aptly cast character in this whole list FUCKING FIGHT ME. I've seen people cast Enjolras differently or cast Gonzo in a different role and it simply does not work either way. This role was literally made for Gonzo.

(Various other muppets will also be among the revolutionaries, including Fozzie Bear, Rowlf, Animal, and just really a bunch of ones who aren't playing a main role)

The Thénardiers — Statler and Waldorf.

And finally, most controversially but still objectively correct:

Gavroche — Big Bird. I know we're not meant to bring Sesame Street into this but an exception has to be made here because, as stated, this is all the objectively correct casting.

Anyone who disagrees with this is stupid.

Stay tuned for my objectively correct Muppets Breaking Bad.
