Whenever Jim Henson didn’t know how to conclude a sketch with his Muppets, he usually relied on one of two tried-and-true finishes: A Muppet would eat another Muppet, or a muppet would explode.
From unnamed background Muppets to supporting characters like Beaker to headliners like Gonzo, no Muppet was too big not to explode every once in a while. Here then are 15 GIFs showing all manner of Muppets exploding…
