I know I am the ten thousandth blogger to embed this video, but come on. It is, quite rightly, today`s top story.

Bravo! It's nice to see that the Muppets can still knock one out of the ballpark.

Great video. I wish there was more Swedish Chef though and Statler/Waldorf should have done a crotchety review at the end.

What, you didn't like seeing Kermit at the end?

I am conservative when it comes to Muppets. I want things how they were meant to be – performance ends with heckling from irascible old timers – and not this newfangled ending.

I understand that it is not easy being green but Kermit gets plenty of attention as is.

If you like your Muppet videos darker…

Very dark! I like it.

So, it wasn't easy being green after all.

But fellating Rowlf ? My happy muppet memories didn't need that…

That was pushing things for me too.

Well there goes another part of my childhood.

Not for the kids, that's for sure. It's oddly compelling as non-satire, in a way.

If you like it, open up the MuppetsStudio link on the page: there's 9 more videos and some Statler + Waldorf "surplus"

Thanks for the tip. Did not find what you mention but did come across this.

Cårven Der Pümpkîn is a fine example of Muppet absurdist slapstick.

Skateboarding Dog Gets Served. Absolutely priceless.

Although this is very amusing, and needn’t be anything more than that, I also believe the point at which you first laugh out loud while watching could be used as something of a gauge of character.

Surprising even myself, I smiled but did not laugh at Animal's "Dada?" and Beaker’s cameo. I was, however, powerless to resist the Swedish chef’s contribution.

I kept wondering, "Where's the pig?" and finally she showed up, so all's well.

And, as for all artistic genius, it took a second viewing to fully appreciate what I missed the first time: The Menuminum-Doo-Doo's were there! How could I not have noticed that on the first go-round?
