22 Times Muppets Were Caught Hanging Out with Bad Guys

Neill Lynskey Published 7 hours ago in Funny

The Muppets and residents of Sesame Street are famous for their spotless reputation, good-hearted attitude, and kid-friendly vibe. They’ve been on the air for years, and their images remain untarnished, until today.

With these puppets being as famous as they are, they’ve gotten to meet a lot of people, and occasionally they’ve met bad people. We’ve dug up all the times the Muppets were caught chilling with future criminals, corrupt politicians, and cultural icons who would eventually be canceled. They’ve been seen rubbing shoulders with horrific, convicted criminal Jared Fogel, canceled creep Kevin Spacey, and they were even tight with George Bush in the years leading up to the Iraq War. Most shocking of all, however, is their enduring friendship with Bill Cosby.

The Muppets have declined to comment on this piece and their silence is deafening.
