About
The Muppet Joker, also known as Kermit or The Croaker, is a Tumblr blog and character who writes about his dramatic life and adventures on Tumblr alongside several related figures who occasionally also post on Reddit and other sites. The events of the Muppet Joker are collectively known as the Croakerverse.
It is generally believed that the blog is run by a troll and that the Muppet Joker, much like all other persons mentioned in the blog, are fictional characters.
(The Muppet Joker has used a variety of preferred pronouns during his time on Tumblr, with he/him being the most common. For the sake of consistency, this KnowYourMeme entry uses he/him pronouns throughout.)
Personal details
The Muppet Joker identifies as otherkin through the identifies of Kermit the Frog and The Joker in combination,[1] in addition to other occasional other characters such as Applejack [44] and Bro Strider [51]. He also describes himself as being in a relationship with both Kermit and the Joker.
He is also a gay man and a practicing Catholic. During his first few months of activity, he hated women and refused to speak to women,[1] but later changed his mind to identify as a “dark feminist” and vary his pronouns.[41][42] He writes a lot of fanfiction about the characters he kins and ships. He owns a Kermit plushie that he uses as a sex toy.
The character's real name is Colter White.[6] He was born on December 25th, 2001. He lives in the United States. He plays badminton.[11]
The writer of the story has at one point identified himself as Norman Light and that writing the blog caused him to fall out with his wife and child.[8][9] It is, however, unclear if this is an earnest reveal or simply another layer of the fictional story.
Reception
The Muppet Joker and his adventures quickly gained popularity on Tumblr, spawning a fandom and cult following. He was arguably the biggest meme on Tumblr throughout 2024 and 2025.
Narrative
Here follows a brief summary of some of the Muppet Joker's stories and phases. The blog was started on May 10, 2023, but there was no true storyline to follow until February 2024.
2024
Horse poisoning
On February 25, a horse that belonged to the Muppet Joker's father fell ill.[30] Four days later, private eye determined that the Muppet Joker had poisoned it, so he was banned from going near any horse.[31] He never admitted openly to the poisoning, but spoke many times about having a motive.[32][33]
Aunt's Easter dinner
On March 7, the Muppet Joker threatened to his haters to send cruel texts to his aunt if the haters didn't stop.[2] Later that day, he followed through and posted screenshots of the texts.[3][4][5][6] Later still that day, his mom forced him to apologize.[7]
Due to these texts, the Muppet Joker was not invited to an upcoming Easter dinner at the aunt's place.[12] The aunt's husband posted about it on Reddit on March 22.[13]
On March 31, the Muppet Joker declared that he would crash the Easter dinner.[14] On April 2, he reported that it ended badly and his parents were upset with him.[15] The aunt's husband explained what had happened on Reddit on April 4.[16]
The resulting family chaos caused his father to leave the family on April 25,[48] and two days later the Muppet Joker attempted to run away.[47]
Ethan
On March 14, the Muppet Joker started working at Starbucks.[10] On April 15 he reported having fallen in love with a coworker named Ethan,[18] and was creating an altar dedicated to him.[19] On April 22, he was fired for forcibly cutting a piece of Ethan's hair[17] for the altar.
On May 2, the Muppet Joker reported having obtained Ethan's phone number,[20] and texted an apology and explaination to him two days later.[21][22] Ethan responded by threatening to file a restraining order.[23]
Adam kin Catholic schism
On April 29, the Muppet Joker reported that during his runaway attempt[49] he gained a new kin identity as Adam from the Book of Genesis.[50]
On May 5, the Muppet Joker had started a new job as gardener at a local church.[24] He soon told the priest about his kin identity as Adam,[25] and after a negative response he announced that he was planning to curse the entire Catholic Church.[26]
Feud with Strange Æons
The Muppet Joker first mentioned YouTuber Strange Æons on February 21, expressing rage from mistaking her gender and her percieved mockery of masculinity.[59]
On May 31, Strange Æons uploaded a video discussing and documenting the Muppet Joker and his adventures.[36]
The Muppet Joker reacted negatively to this[37] and added Strange to his DNI list.[40] The two would continue to feud and clash on Tumblr for the coming months. One of his fans claimed to have battled and defeated Strange on the astral plane.[38][39]
The two even had voodoo dolls of each other.[27][28]
On July 31, it was decided that the two would duel in the ballpit when they both attended DashCon 2 in the following year.[35] Fanart was created in anticipation of the duel.
Bible rewriting
On June 16, the Muppet Joker announced that he would start writing “my Magnum Opus”,[34] which was to be “a retelling of the Bible and all of human history” from the perspective of his reworked versions of Kermit the Frog and the Joker.[29]
Emo coven
On June 14, the Muppet Joker had found a new home to move into – an self-described “coven” with three emo roommates: Athena (Tumblr username mydarlingathena), Sage (Tumblr username minuseyes), and Milton (Tumblr username lifedoesntdiscriminate). Athena kins Gerard Way and claims to be an vessel for his spirit. Throughout the month of June and July, the four people and their neighbor wrote about their experiences.
Fanart was created depicting the coven.
2025
DashCon 2
The Muppet Joker attended DashCon 2 on July 5, 2025.
He hosted a dramatization of his Bible rewriting.
He also duelled Strange Æons as planned. He lost the duel and was declared “canonically dead”, and a chior sang the Jason Segel song Man Or Muppet to commemorate him.
More fanart was created after the duel.
Super Hell
On July 8, after DashCon, the Muppet Joker reported he was screaming in “Muppet Superhell” after his duelling death.[43]
Possible author reveal
On August 17, Muppet Joker declared that the blog was suspended due to adverse effects on the author and their marriage.[8]
However, three months later, on November 14, another post was made, stating that the author was still overwhelmed by thoughts of the Muppet Joker.[9]
He was soon posting regularly again, which caused him to be divorced,[45]fired from his job,[46] and "losing everyone".[54] He claims that the blog is “not a bit anymore” and instead presents his true self, asserting “You think I would lie to the internet ? Twice?”[46]
There has been doubt as to whether this reveal is genuine or just another part of the fictional story. This is in part due to life details being unconfimable,[52] and stating that his 22-month-old (under 2 years) son is able to write and run away from home.[53]
