Don't let this unfortunately named swine flu outbreak cloud your memories of the celebrity pigs we all have known and loved. Vance from "Big Top Pee Wee" selflessly aided Pee Wee Herman try to grow hot dog trees. Porky Pig stood up for stutterers everywhere. And Babe was nominated for an Oscar long before Martin Scorcese won one.
But it was the inimitable Miss Piggy who topped Asylum's all-time top 10 list: Reclaiming the Swine – 10 Pigs We Will Always Love. Hey, she taught us all to speak French with one simple question: Moi? The folks at Asylum said:
Singer, lover, karate expert -- Piggy, er, Miss Piggy is the biggest Muppet star of them all. (We're deathly afraid of her Pig Wan Do skills, OK?) Eternally stalking her beloved "Kermie," Piggy always brightens up whatever crappy talk show/children's series/parade float she deigns to bless with her presence. She also possesses the incredible ability to make us think of pigs as sexual creatures.
(They said something else, too, but you'll never hear it from us.)
Here's the list:
10. Vance from "Big Top Pee-Wee"
9. Napoleon from "Animal Farm"
8. "Spider-Pig/Harry Plopper" from "The Simpsons Movie"
7. Orson Pig from "Garfield and Friends"
6. Arnold Ziffel from "Green Acres"
5. The Piggly Wiggly Pig
4. Porky Pig
3. Babe
2. Wilbur from "Charlotte's Web"
1. Miss Piggy
