Too Many Easter Treats?
Happy Easter.
In their heyday, Jim Henson's Muppets were often sentimental. But they were also sometimes edgy and abstract. This clip is new, but has an old-school feel. The comments run the gamut from "disturbing" to "hilarious." Why can't it be both?
Anyway, Muppet stock is finally rising again. Another -- supposedly offbeat -- movie is in the works. And their YouTube channel of new content gets a ton of traffic. Like 13 million views for their take on Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

I've never liked the muppets-they're very weird and kind of stupid. And none of them can sing.
You cut me deep, Oddyoddyo.
I'm guessing Oddy's not a fan of Dylan, Jerry Garcia, Levon Helm, Randy Newman....
I'm glad they're still putting out new stuff. I think this is in the same vein of what they were doing 35 - 40 years ago. I'm torqued off that they changed the looks of Statler and Waldorf. I can understand the new voices, but why change the puppets' faces.
That was....bizarre. Maybe us gals have a tougher time relating to puppets that eat other puppets. It goes against our sensibility as the kinder, gentler gender...
Dude. Love the Muppets. In a strictly platonic way, of course. Jim Henson is from these parts (Maryland).
