Convincing John Convincing John is a Fraggle who can convince anyone of anything . He bears more than a passing resemblance to the flashier kind of evangelical priest . His technique for persuasion involves a catchy song ( assisted by his backing singers , the Fragglettes ) outlining a spuriously awful fate that will befall his listeners if they fail to heed his advice . According to the Fragglettes , the more verses his song has , the more convincing it will be . Other Fraggles tend to view the persuasive " Mr . John " with awe and , at times , a certain amount of apprehension . It is said that he could convince the stones to change color , convince a Gorg that he was a Doozer , and convince a Doozer to stop working and start dancing . Convincing John first appeared in the " Fraggle Rock " episode " , " when he was asked by Mokey to convince the Fraggles to stop eating Doozer constructions . She later realized this was a mistake , and called on him again to persuade them to resume eating Doozer sticks . Convincing John is not above abusing his power - - although Mokey and Red ' s first meeting with him is not shown , Red leaves it wearing a blindfold ( " He told me it was the only way to live " ) and Mokey is seen wearing plastic cups on her hands . In " , " it is revealed that , like Wembley , Convincing John is an indecisive " wembler . " This , in fact , is the key to his success , as it allows him to see things from all possible angles . In " , " John was the Vanguard of the Poobahs . In this appearance , he has a hard time separating " guilty " from " innocent " ( " Doesn ' t it have something to do with lambs ? " ) . Convincing John is one of the only two recurring " Fraggle Rock " characters performed by Jim Henson , the other being Cantus the Minstrel . _ _ NOWYSIWYG _ _
