It’s no secret that laughter is good for you (unless you have some sort of pre-existing cardiac condition…of course). So as we celebrate Muppet Week, a day for Fozzie is not only necessary because of this bear’s universal beloved-ness it’s good for your health.
Seriously, laughing can help reduce pain, increase your immune response, and studies have shown that a strong sense of humor bears some correlation with a high IQ. So, laughter makes you look smarter too.
Yes, all of the Muppets can bring a smile to the faces of their fans, but none of them have the same kind of tenacity for humor as this lovable bear.
It laughter truly is the best medicine, and if that’s true then someone get Fozzie Bear an honorary PhD. His joke’s may sometimes be unbearable, but I dare you not to laugh.
