Quirky maybe, but radioactive?Do you like the Muppets?
I hated them growing up. I guess it was due to my 4 older brothers and having to prove I wasn't a childish weakling. They made me hate dolls too, but that's a story for another day. Regardless, it wasn't until I married my off-kilter husband that I really gained an appreciation for the sense of humor behind Jim Henson's creations. I mean, seriously, does it get any better than Pepe the King Prawn or Rizzo the Rat?Okay, maybe it does, but they've earned a warm place in my heart for the snarky asides and unique personality traits. I tend to think Muppets Treasure Island and Muppets Christmas Carol are awesome sauce. (And lest you should ask, yes, I have been challenged to use awesome sauce every single blog post.)
So, now for the show.
I'm constantly on the watch for funnies that smart in the average man's face. This one got me:
Death by stuffed animal, how cool is that?
Are you a Muppets fan? Why or why not?
I haven't seen the a full muppets show, but I've seen little things here and there. And I love that little challenge, awesomesause!!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I seriously laughed until I turned blue. Then I ate some cheese and watched it again. Whew!
DeleteI used to watch the Muppet show and enjoyed it although I could never figure out the appeal of Kermit. Fozzie was far more entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. Gonzo was my hubby's favorite.
DeleteYes, I'm a huge Muppet fan. My dream job would have been to be a part of that creative team.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? They must have so much fun on set.
DeleteMy daughter is a huge fan of Imagine Dragons, but I had never seen/heard any of their stuff. That was a little disturbing! :P Muppets were after my time, but I thought they were cute.
ReplyDeletetm
A little disturbing in a hilarious way. =D Seriously, if it wasn't such a cute and cuddly thing taking revenge...well, how do you get more awesome than that?
DeleteAAAAH! I hadn't seen the video! Death by squeaky stuffed toys is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I have to re-watch it every so often just to get my giggles.
DeleteI think that's how I want to go -death by stuffed animal! ;)
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
DeleteHa! I have always loved the muppets. That is awesomesauce! :) seriously, though, any musician that can twist something so cute and cuddly like that is just freakin amazing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow could I not, right?
DeleteI liked The Muppet Show well enough, but I wouldn't watch Farscape because the idea of humans and muppets interacting in a serious show turned me off. I thought of it as "Muppets in Space."
ReplyDeleteExcept they did make a "Muppets in Space", and it's my hubby's favorite one! (Because it's all about Gonzo, crazy man.) To each their own, eh? ;)
DeleteWell I wasn't a muppets fan but I LOVED the muppet babies!! My favorite cartoon :)
ReplyDeleteHee hee! I remember that show--especially the Star Wars episode. It was pretty awesome, but it doesn't have anything on Muppets Treasure Island. Tim Curry singing, I mean, awesome, right?
DeleteHonestly, I had no idea where the video was going at first...yes, that was very funny...in a disturbing way! Or maybe the other way around. I love the ending! Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAs for the question, I grew up on Muppets and I did love them. But as far as Jim Henson's entire cast of characters, my favorite is and always will be the fluffy blue cookie connoisseur himself... Cookie Monster. :)
COOKIE MONSTER!! Yeah, he's pretty awesome. Him, and Oscar the Grouch. Wow. It's amazing how many of those characters have become cultural basics 101.
DeleteI guess I would say I'm indifferent to Muppets! :)
ReplyDeleteNo feelings one way or the other? *gasp*
DeleteThey made some excellent movies! And that video was very funny too.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that. ;D
DeleteOh I LOVED the Muppets, when I was a kid luckily they were on the one tv channel we got, so every week I got to see them! Still like them too :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Did you see the latest movie? I thought it was pretty stellar. My kids still sing the music.
DeleteI never got into the Muppets ... feel like maybe I'm missing out :)
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late--especially once you start into the kid stage. =)
