If you happen to stopped by ToughPigs on April 1st, you have been probably bamboozled by our little ploy. As we do yearly, we poked enjoyable on the Muppets for April Fools Day. This yr, we professed slightly frustration on the lack of Muppet merch by creating a few of our personal. Lots of our personal. Possibly an excessive amount of of our personal.

Sure, we made up some faux merchandise from the Disney-owned Muppets, Sesame Avenue, The Jim Henson Firm, and even ToughPigs. From bearskin rugs to radish vehicles to replicas no person requested for, we had all of it. Additionally for some purpose, an entire bunch of rocks.

Don’t quote me, however I’m fairly positive this April Fools Day gag featured extra rocks than some other yr.

Many because of all the ToughPigs staff for coming collectively to brainstorm and create these concepts and their corresponding descriptions. Cheers to Matthew Soberman, Katilyn Miller, Shane Keating, and myself, Joe Hennes.

In case you didn’t see our faux articles yesterday, they’ve been preserved in amber so you possibly can learn all of them on the hyperlinks under! Get pleasure from!

First up, we shared some dream Muppet merchandise, together with the Swedish Chef “Borkinator,” Doc Hopper’s Vegetarian Frog Legs, and a Fleet Scribbler motion determine. The one we have been (barely) shocked to see get plenty of curiosity was the Fozzie Bearskin Rug. Let’s be sincere, we’d all purchase that one.

Our batch of Sesame Avenue merchandise included pre-chewed Cookie Monster cookies, a reproduction of Oscar the Grouch’s trash can, and The Letter J. My favourite is the set of Teeny Little Tremendous Man shot glasses, which make sense till you keep in mind that he’s a preschool character on a product definitely not made for preschoolers.

The Jim Henson Firm gave us loads to work with, overlaying much more bases when it comes to franchises to poke enjoyable at. We teased a pre-holed Emmet Otter washtub, a dubious-looking “Essence of Gelfling,” and Jim Henson model elephant paint. Simply the most effective was the life-sized duplicate of Pink Fraggle’s radish automotive, and I’ll be ceaselessly unhappy that it isn’t actual.

Lastly, we wrapped issues up with a bunch of pretend merchandise out of your buddies right here at ToughPigs. We provided up membership within the Mr. Curly Twirly Fan Membership, “The Full ToughPigs” print version, and an obnoxiously lengthy (and arduous to learn) t-shirt for the nerdiest of Muppet followers. We’ve been instructed that “Hubba-Wha?! The Residence Sport” must be actual, and truthfully, we couldn’t agree extra.
