More than any other performer I often think how great it must have been for the guy who actually played the drums on The Muppet Show - his name was Ronnie Verrell - to get to play with some of the best and most famous drummers of the era, including full on drum battles with people like Buddy Rich.

Apparently (and, I suppose, obviously) he was a pretty accomplished drummer in his own right, but to play as animal must have been an absolute blast.

Monty Python and The Muppets separately had sketches about animals trained/tuned to squeal at a particular pitch when hit. They were assembled into an instrument that allowed a sadist play tunes on them with hammers.

Between the timbre of the notes and the look of the 'keys', from start to finish I couldn't stop thinking of this instrument as the same, but using pleasure instead of pain (if you get my meaning).

Yeah -- just raise the rates like they did in December of '18. That ended REAL well and it was only 1% and some talk of 3%.

I'm all in favor of stupid money and the Robinhood muppets getting a taste of what a real bear market is like, but once this shit gets rolling, I have no idea how to stop it -- and neither does the Fed.

*Pours you a shot* Cheer up bud! A Clown was beaten by a Muppet and your country might not go down the shitter as quick. *Cheers*

Uh why does this have the Asia tag?
It's clearly Australia.

Also we don't have a mandatory masks rule here because unlike some countries run by orange muppets, we're actually doing an okay job at stopping the spread.

The more you know!

I thought it would be more like something from muppets/swedish chef #hurdygurdy

I admit it. Even as a muppet-fan I up-voted this within 30 seconds, but I regret nothing.

I never thought I'd *promote Elmo, but that muppet sure does know how to melt with embarrassment.

jesus.... how do they keep fucking this up?

I'm a 40-year-old guy who grew up on DC comics. I have a shelf full of them. There are one or two Marvel titles, but really they were never my thing.

And yet, I've seen nearly every MCU movie and only 2 DCU movies, and only one I actually enjoyed.

FFS WB, this isn't that hard. It's not even like you haven't done it before... just animated.

Batman animated, Justice League, Teen Titans... they all had elements of the "dark and gritty" but they were fun! They certainly weren't an absolute clusterfuck like this nonsense.

Just stop. Please... just give it a rest.

Give it to the animated dept, or the guys who made the Arkham games, anyone but the muppets in charge of this shitshow.

Actually, Henson probably would have LOVED it. His whole thing was to get puppets into places that they hadn't been before.

In fact, a pilot of The Muppet Show was originally called "The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence"

(the sex and violence name was there specifically to indicate that the show was NOT for kids)

Muppets! A rail trail is a disused line.... idiots.
