Miss Piggy Kissy Kissy Feb 2014
"Kissy, Kissy" as written by Miss Piggy’s own hand in The Muppet Show Fan Club newsletter vol. 1 no. 3.
Kissy Kissy is Miss Piggy's catchphrase, usually used as a form of love to her family and friends.
The phrase has gone on to identify not only The Muppet Show’s resident prima-donna pig, but Muppet fandom as a whole. At MuppetFest in 2001, Kirk Thatcher instructed the audience to raise their hands to help establish a greeting amongst fans akin to that used by Trekkies. Mimicking a puppeteer with one's raised hand, you say, Kermit the Frog's catchphrase, "Hi-ho!" Then, if you're greeted by a female fan, her response is: "Kissy kissy!" If you're greeted by a male Muppet fan, his response is: "Wocka Wocka!"
This page is an attempt to chronicle the popularization of "Kissy Kissy" throughout Miss Piggy's appearances following The Muppet Show.
