https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6hFnyfGwsY at 2:15 Gordon Freeman yells out "These aliens suck! I'm already afraid of muppets, I don't need this on top of that!!" What do you think the background for Gordon's Mupaphobia. Could it go back to when he was a child and he saw the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTc3PsW5ghQ or could he have taken some acid while at MIT and everyone started looking like Beaker?

 

What do you think?

Obviously because of the kitty corner shot.

Why is he scared of muppets?

 

Because they're fracking muppets!

Is that not the face of terror?

I think we have to test a 4 year old child with this picture... or better not!

 

We know that many people in world have a Clownphobie, right.

A child can never deside if the smile of a Clown is full of happyness or evil, i am not scared of Clowns (I give them what they need on "Left 4 Dead 2" Hell yeah!!!) but to me appears this smile as a fake feeling.

Do i have to laugh with a stupid clown??? No.

Are you fucking kidding me? You can't tell me they didn't get that idea from the game postal

 

@topic: maybe he just watched some movies with killermuppets when he was a kid...

I'm sorry I'm sorry......really? they are Muppets I am scared of them ....they can see through time man :0

I remember when I was a child, there was this one muppet that scared me, and that's Beaker...

 

This guy...

 

 

 

He was always the victim of terrifying experiments, and he always talked in meeps. In fact, I think Beaker here is the reason I stayed the hell away from any career in the science field. This one's lived through many random explosions.

 

Anyways, it's episode 23 of Freeman's Mind that Ross Scott's incarnation of Gordon Freeman says "I don't like to beep much, it reminds me of that muppet", which more likely than not, is a reference to Beaker. I'm guessing Ross Scott had the same fear as a child that I did. Beaker destroyed another possible career in the science field.

Wow, damn muppets, I knew they were up to no good.

Try explaining to a four year old child how your nose WON'T fall off while eating paper clips.

 

I wouldn't believe you.

 

First you'd have to eat a bowl full of paper clips. You'd probably have stomach pains simply from the fact that they're paper clips, then have to go to the hospital and have doctors laugh at you. Then they'll put you through all the psychiatric assessments, trying to figure out whether you're "fit for society", when all you're trying to do is prove a four year old wrong.

 

Science fails...

 

Muppets fail...

Hey there's a difference between paper clips and 'edible' paper clips!
