The Extremes are impulsive creatures who causes silliness and are emotional. They were signing aliens for the Muppet franchise who first appeared in "The Jim Henson Hour".

They appeared in three episodes of the The Jim Henson Hour including Outer Space, Oceans and Videotape.

In the episode "Outer Space", they get close up to Kermit and to the screen and yelling "Shout the yeah" and making noises on the episode's introduction scene. They also perform the song "Neutron Dance" which was performed by the Pointer Sisters. On the closing number, they make their line "She's gonna cry until I tell her that I'm never wrong".

They sing about Maneater on the episode "Oceans". Three extremes get grabbed by the shark. The orange extreme gets bit on his triceps with his femur to be pulled off the area, The yellow one was done the same way to the orange but pushed off, and the Blue one gets pulled off from his abdominal muscle and the only one left was the purple un-tampered with. After the song ends, the purple extreme bites the shark on the face and then swims away.

They also danced on the All Nighty Party music along with other people and Muppets on "Videotape".

The extremes were later used in "Muppet Time" for the sketches of "Alien Opera".

On Muppets Tonight, they make cameo appearances on certain scenes exposing their shenanigans against Clifford on the show's introduction on the first 2 episodes. They perform their dance number after they told the crew to run the Koozebanian dance number tape by Nigel. They dance and sing along with other Muppets on Opposites Attract with Clifford and Paulda Abdula.

In Popular Culture[]

The extremes are very rare and are hard to find on certain cartoons other than Muppets in their cartoon series. In Despicable Me 2, there is a blue extreme dome statue in one of the properties of Paradise Mall. Though it has insect antennas and Wimzie's bat wings instead.

The old set of Extremes have not been spotted in different cartoons yet at this point. The new set can be found in "Super Silly Fun Land" in the Despicable Me series and in Universal Studios Attraction Park in real life.
