DEBUT | 1984 |
Baby Fozzie is the Muppet Babies version of Fozzie Bear. He wants to be a famous stand-up comedian when he grows up. Fozzie often seems naive, and his jokes aren't always funny, but his friends like him anyway. He is also somewhat of a coward, for he is afraid of ghosts, monsters, thunder and lightning, and swimming, among other things. He usually carries a teddy bear with him that is simply known as Teddy.
A running gag in the show often involves Fozzie telling a bad joke (often involving chickens crossing the road), only to get booed at and have one or more tomatoes thrown in his face. In the 2018 reboot, his jokes are met with less derision, and are generally more appreciated by his friends.
