If You Could Replace The Cast Of One Movie With Muppets, Keeping Only One Human Actor, What Movie/Actor Do You Chose?

Last night, I saw this question come across my timeline and sat in awe for a few moments. It’s one of the greatest hypotheticals I’ve ever read. I racked my brain long and hard for the answer, but failed to realize the answer was right in front of me the entire time.

It’s my favorite movie of all time: ‘The Dark Knight’, and I’m keeping Christian Bale in his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Now let me stop you before you go, “Why not keep Heath Ledger?! He’s clearly the best actor in the flick and delivers one of the most iconic performances of all time in that movie!” I agree with you. I get it. But The Joker, a certified lunatic, absolute psychopath, talking to a bunch of Muppets for an entire movie wouldn’t be nearly as funny as Batman playing it straight and screaming his head off at fuzzy little fuckin’ puppets. Imagine the classic “WHERE’S RACHEL?!” interrogation scene but he’s actually just beating the piss out of this guy:

Every tense, serious scene on the Gotham City Police Department’s rooftop with Commissioner Gordon is now with this mothafucka right here:

And “Some men just want to watch the world burn” is now delivered deadpan to Bruce Wayne by homeboy below:

The ridiculousness of literally every scene would be must watch material, so much so that I’m almost mad this hypothetical exists. Because I need to see ‘The Dark Knight’ starring Christian Bale and a bunch of Muppets.

So, Stoolies, now I’m throwing it to you…

If you could replace the cast of one movie with Muppets, leaving only one human actor/actress in place, what movie do you pick, and which actor/actress do you keep human?

My runner-up pick was keeping Jim Caviezel in ‘Passion of the Christ’.
