So as a general heads up, I’ve got more art ideas inspired by Muppets Mayhem so there will be spoilers on my tumblr
You think there was ever a feud between the Teeth’s and the Pepper’s cuz Tina didn’t like Floyd?
I imagine at least once or twice Floyd’s parents would eventually meet Teeth’s, and Terri would not like Tina one bit. Mick and Gerald just want to have one normal get together
‼️Spoilers‼️ for MUPPETS MAYHEM - episode 6 !!
I was hella inspired by the new show to make this cheezy lil comic (which might actually be the start of some more doodles hehe)~ hope y'all enjoy some mariteeth fluff!!🦐🎣💚💙
Edit: Here’s a Navigation table because this turned into a Whole Thing lol
Part 1 (You’re here!) | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
I’m a big fan of the idea of Lips having so many musical connections (which may never be explained) and Janice having a twin sister (who I wish we knew the name of). I also like how when Nora was reviewing the Electric Mayhem’s old works, Zoot’s with her. (He’s asleep but he’s with her)
The band’s hallucinations were pretty hysterical. Lips feels compelled to save the world, Animal talking to his dignified speaking baby-self (which was CUTE), Floyd having a pretty motivational talk with Weird Al, and that stop-motion-esque thing Dr. Teeth went through (Who animated that???). I also love how when Moog is trying to pull Teeth out of the ground, he questions the elasticity of his arms, to which Dr. Teeth pretty much says it’s normal, and Zoot somehow manages to photograph all of the hallucinations! (How???)
i'm 3 episodes into muppets mayhem and i am having a good fuckin time lemme tell ya
i love penny, i love what they've done with lips and he gets the funniest lines, the covers are GREAT, and this feels very very muppety
the human lead feels a bit generic but i do like moog, tbh i feel like it would've been cool to have him be the main character but then again i can see it being too much of a rehash of walter's story
i know the desaturated colors are on purpose to give a cinematic feel but... eh i really don't care for it. it's the muppets! they're supposed to be colorful! everything looks washed out 90% of the time and it's distracting
(spoilers ahead) when they painted the house and sang can you picture that i had the BIGGEST smile on my face, that was so good and so real i fucking loooooved it
Not picture: Young adult Teeth and Floyd nervously eating their gumbo across the room alongside Mick and Gerald

More art showcasing the feud between the women of the Teeth and Pepper family.
Part 1 here - https://palettepainter.tumblr.com/post/719764890416562176/palettepainter-devilsrecreation-palettepainter#notes
I bet young Teeth and Floyd had to sit through a few awkward dinners when the families where together. I imagine the only reason - in the beginning at least - that Tina would wanna invite the Pepper family over, would be so she could passive-aggressively rub her business success in Terri’s face. But jokes on Tina Terri isn’t polite enough to put up with that disrespect
I have a part three, possibly a part four continuation for this mini comic series, so who knows, maybe this’ll be a mini series showing how their bond developes, cuz they DO eventually become some what neutral work-in-progress friends after the events of Muppets Mayhem
Ive finished the new allotted streaming released all at once series that i marathon once a year...and ok im like so fascinated by the choice of the stans that they set up as the aggressors
Beyhive ft Nicole Byer
Swifties ft Rachel Bloom
Beliebers ft Riki Lindhome (the only gang leader to post abt the show on instagram)
Little monsters ft Jack McBrayer
Which ok so the choices here feel so 2012 specifically, and its deliberate too to jab at adult fans who have arrested development about specific eras of a singers career. Like it was a choice to have actors who were on the younger end of middle aged. A lot of stan parodies focus on teenagers n children as the people who have the time to devote. So it is interesting to make it adults. There could be so many reasons why they did that (casting kids wouldve taken more time and money, it feels meaner when its abt kids,with adults you get to put more cameos from comedic pretty prolific actors two of whom showran their own musical shows)
But the stans then being in minecraft (along w a couple of other fan communities i remember rihannas navy,bts army and (funniest joke of the ep) natalie merchant marines) kinda is where it lost the thread for me like showing the gang leaders avatars hearing their voices... Like idk man these middle aged superfans arent coming to Minecraft.
Like the episode showed the youth of minecraft love electric mayhem, so the idea that its kids who love them feels so ... Patting themselves on the back bc like that's not the case kids that are on Minecraft arent going to unanimously love Electric Mayhem ... Idk it took me out of it..it would've gelled more if they had a knockoff minecraft or sth but the use of Minecraft itself felt so hamfisted like i get it they wanted it to be grounded in real life but idk ...
Especially bc they nvr rlly get into like the superfans much or comment Abt the obvious arrested development in any way so it feels disjointed especially when the superfans get turned into Mayheads through the sheer power of rocking tuneage.
Unrelated but tbh i didnt even recognize jack mcbrayer as an actor i Knew until i looked up the cast so finding tht out blew me away. Like i didnt recognize Riki bc yeah im more familiar w kate when it comes to Garfunkel n oats but like i knew she was someone whos work i knew i knew she was a comedic actress who i have seen in things and whos voice sounded familiar.
I do wonder if they planned a musical number? Like casting Riki and Rachel both really talented musicians as well actresses feels like wasted potential in a show about music idk
Edit: also i really dug the Warriors reference with Little Monster Leader saying "Mayhem come out and play"
