Calling someone a Muppet. In NZ (and to a lesser degree, UK/Australia), it’s a common thing to call someone who’s being an idiot. Not sure why. I think as a nation we generally like the Muppets, but not someone who’s being a Muppet.

I think the connotation is that a Muppet is controlled by someone else. Their every thought, word, and action is the intent of their handlers.
I think it’s more that most Muppets are silly and not very intelligent
Yeah, I’ve definitely seen it most used to describe people acting ridiculous.
That’s a puppet. A muppet is someone being stupid
