* TheOtherDarrin: He was performed and voiced by Creator/JimHenson from 1955 until Henson's death in 1990. Following this, he was replaced by fellow Muppet puppeteer Steve Whitmire (previously known as Rizzo on ''The Muppet Show'' and Wembley on ''Series/FraggleRock''), beginning with ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol''. To put it mildly, Whitmire did a nearly ''perfect'' impression of Henson's Kermit, never for a second making viewers feel that they were not watching the same character. Then, in 2017, Whitmire was fired, and replaced with Matt Vogel, a ''Series/SesameStreet'' puppeteer known for taking the role of Big Bird over from Carroll Spinney, and for the role of Constantine in ''Film/MuppetsMostWanted''. Vogel's performance as Kermit has been received... less warmly, though so far the only major Muppet media he's been in is the Disney+ show ''Series/MuppetsNow''.

to:
* AmbiguouslyGay: See above. In the "Flowers on the Wall" [=YouTube=] video, he has a romantic dinner with a fake Bunsen, and constructs a Bunsen-shaped house of cards with hearts in its eyes. Most blatantly, in ''Series/TheMuppets2015'' episode "Pig Out", he and Bunsen arrive at work in each others' clothing and refuse to talk about it.
* BodyHorror:
** Testing Bunsen's edible paper clips caused Beaker's nose to fall off.
** A Halloween web video has him get stuck in an automatic Jack o'Lantern carver, which turns his head into a pumpkin with holes cut out for his eyes, nose, and mouth; this pumpkin head is also hollow, as he's able to stick a finger in and out through his eye socket.
* ButtMonkey: Played with in so many ways, often when the experiments go wrong: losing body parts, getting electrocuted, being eaten by a giant germ, and so on.

* CuteButCacophonic: Especially in his ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'' incarnation; Beaker has a goofy charm and a lot of charisma despite his unfortunate work life, but good lord, can he ever ''screech''.
* HiddenDepths: In some episodes of ''The Muppet Show'', Beaker was implied to be into costuming, as he would occasionally dress up for certain lab demonstrations (ex. as a tourist when demonstrating the luggage compressor).

* VocalEvolution:
** Richard Hunt's Beaker tended to be very mumbly. When Steve Whitmire inherited the role, his "meeps" became much clearer, and beginning with the 2010s, he began to speak real words more frequently (see: ''Wrestling/WWERaw'', "ESPN Tournament Selections").
* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: He was designed to perpetually have this look on his face. Given his ButtMonkey status, it's pretty well-founded.

* GentleGiant: After repeatedly trying to eat or smash Robin in his first appearance in ''Film/TalesFromMuppetlandTheFrogPrince'', he was reimagined as this. He looks big and mean, but it's just bluster 90% of the time. For example, in ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland'', he's initially part of Long John Silver's crew of evil pirates, but switches sides to the good guys in the final battle. When Kermit questions this, he replies, "Are you kidding? MuppetTreasureIsland I love you guys!"
