Talk:Miss Piggy/Archives/2012

Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:44, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Expanded role in the show

Since someone added Miss Piggy to the list of breakout characters, I went over to see if there was any sourcing for that. There isn't, so I tagged it.

If someone does have a source, please put it in not only here but the breakout character article as well, where it will be similarly tagged for a week and then parked on the talk page (That page came out of a contentious deletion discussion, and part of the terms were that we aggressively seek references for allegations to prevent the article from crufting up).

As a major character

She was one of the major characters, appearing for a long time in the film and her "all-so-wanted" relationship with Kermit the Frog all make her one of the major characters. Iolaana•T 20:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)|<font

Appearance

I believe the beady-eyed Piggy design was used in early episodes of the Muppet Show, contrary to what the opening paragraphs state.Bitbut 03:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

That's actually true. I also read somewhere that the reason she was "Miss Piggy" was because she was supposed to be a one or two show character, like "Miss Mousey." have to find that reference...

It guess it depends on how you define "beady-eyed". In early episodes of The Muppet Show, Miss Piggy's eyes were smaller and flatter, with shorter eyelashes and eyelids the same color as her face (instead of purple eyelids). See, for example, this sketch with Rita Moreno (Season 1, episode 5), in which Piggy is a non-speaking background character. But the Muppet Show version of Piggy never had black "shoe-button" eyes like those of Dr. Julius Strangepork (and some of the unnamed "pig extras".

Vandalism???

Hey, I noticed that at the bottom of the article, there is a note that says, "Also known as.. Miss Ketabchi's idol". Does this relate to the article and I just don't get it, or is this vandalism? It looks like vandalism to me, but just in case it's not, I figured I'd ask first. A pyrate's life for me... (talk) 16:08, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Full name

Back in August a user from IP 92.9.141.114 added "Lorelei" as Miss Piggy's first name. I've done some research and can't find any support for that name anywhere (despite plenty of material on Piggy's full name, including a few one-off jokes). Does it have any legitimacy? Is it vandalism? I have no idea, but have removed it for now. Three white leopards (talk) 05:03, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I'd guess vandalism, as I've never heard that name in any of the movies or episodes. Good eye.

Charles Grodin

Charles Grodin posts a humorous but convincing article to Vulture Magazine alleging that Miss Piggy was based on a real woman who briefly wooed him during the filming of The Great Muppet Caper. The article was written so convincingly that it's difficult to be completely sure that Grodin wasn't serious. (User talk:Ubruni) 16:48, 23 November 2011 (MST)
