Patrick Mahomes’ mother sparks laughter with “Kermit-Like” gift amid memes

Randi Mahomes, mother of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has a knack for charming social media moments. This time, her latest Instagram story brought unexpected hilarity, as she proudly displayed a green metal frog figurine reminiscent of the ongoing Kermit the Frog jokes linked to her son.

The decor piece was a gift from The Rusty Clucker, a company specializing in custom rustic metal designs. Randi shared her excitement over her new collectibles, a vibrant butterfly and a quirky green frog. “It’s the little things! Happy lights!” she captioned the post, showing off the animated toys that lit up with delight.  In a follow-up story, Randi affectionately referred to the decor items as “My new friends!!” Fans were quick to pick up on the humor, noting the unintentional nod to Patrick’s infamous “Kermit” comparison.

Patrick Mahomes and the “Kermit” connection

The Kermit the Frog jokes surrounding Patrick Mahomes originated from playful jabs at his voice, which some fans have likened to the beloved Muppet character. Earlier this year, the Las Vegas Raiders even escalated the gag by mocking the QB with a Kermit puppet after a heated game.

While Randi’s new frog figurine wasn’t customized to resemble Kermit, the timing and resemblance left fans laughing at the coincidence. Her innocent enjoyment of the decor only added to the charm of the situation.

A wholesome moment amid rivalry banter

Randi’s endorsement of The Rusty Clucker isn’t entirely new. She’s previously collaborated with the brand to promote her own merchandise collection. However, this latest post took a lighthearted turn, unintentionally tying into the Mahomes-Kermit meme lore.  Despite the humor, it’s clear Randi’s intention was simply to celebrate her unique new decor. Fans familiar with the inside joke couldn’t help but chuckle at the irony, while others appreciated the sweet, wholesome moment.

In the end, whether Randi was aware of the connection or not, her cheerful post added another layer of humor to the Mahomes family legacy. As the Chiefs continue their season, fans will undoubtedly keep an eye out for more unintentional gems from Patrick’s endearing mom.
