If you know your Fraggle Rock history, you know that out of all the Fraggle Five she has traditionally been perceived as the least popular, though I can’t understand why. We can all be Fraggles! I will argue, however, that there isn’t enough Mokey merchandise. I’ve come to see the error of my ways - kind of - and I don’t incite arguments over such a petty detail about who can be a Fraggle. How could we all be the easy going Fraggle? The adults gave us an order and said it in a voice that said “No arguing, under penalty of spanking and no dessert.”īut I knew Mokey Fraggle was mine and so was Red Fraggle. They resolved the situation by saying all of us could be Mokey, but to quote Sarah from Labyrinth, “It’s not fair!” Since there was only one Mokey, only one of us could be Mokey.
None of us could actually be Mokey Fraggle. The adults were so confused about why all of us were fighting about an imaginary concept. Little Connie Wesley still has my sister’s teeth marks on her arm. I can proudly assert that six adults were needed to tear five squabbling girls apart. We fought to be Mokey, but none of us won. Many Barbies lost their articulated limbs, My Little Ponies were slaughtered to feed the troops, and many Pound Puppies were left orphaned. My group of friends and siblings were part of the pink cult and we latched onto Mokey. But there was one difference we could latch onto: Mokey was pink. They were neither ugly nor beautiful, but had more facets than a Doozer stick construction.
When we watched Fraggle Rock reruns, Red and Mokey presented us with a conundrum. There were different varieties of these archetypes: the pretty one that was either nice or stupid, while the ugly one was either fat, stupid, or brainy. The girls that were on these shows usually fit two archetypes: the pretty one and the ugly one. Kids have this weird habit of picking a character when they watch a show and claiming that character as their own, but cartoons and other shows geared toward us kids had a significant lack of girl characters. When I was a child, though many people argue that I’m still a juvenile, I used to watch Fraggle Rock reruns with my siblings and friends. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Muppet Crap!
