The Fraggles Had an Odd Obsession With Death

"Dance your cares away, Worries for another day."

The Fraggles directed us to kick fear aside in favor of undaunted booty shaking, but it turns out that the underground Muppets actually lived in dread.

Fraggle Rock fan and YouTuber Squigiman observed something interesting while tuning in to watch Gobo and friends.

I noticed something of a pattern with frequent mentions of death, dying, and killing by the show's characters, at least once, in NEARLY EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

Here, after months of work documenting and editing, I have compiled these instances for you to see, all in one place.

In a sad coincidence, Jane Henson, puppeteer and wife of Muppets creator Jim Henson, passed away this week. Geez, Fraggles -- bad timing.
