Slashdot Mirror
Statler And Waldorf From the Balcony
An Anonymous Reader wrote in to mention Statler and Waldorf From the Balcony, a short feature on movies.com where the surly Muppets review current films. From the site: "This Week's Episode -
Will War of the Worlds' aliens scare off our cranky coots? Will Bewitched be the end of Will? Plus, Pepe the Prawn begs Miss Congeniality to cuff him."
Well, it's not as bad as some of Zonk's other stuff. Yeah, it's not a dupe. I suppose this is okay. Yeah, it's not bad. In fact, it's pretty interesting. I'd like more stories like this. Encore! Encore!
I waldorfed violently from my balcony when I saw that muppets were being abused. Do we call PETA or ACLU on this one?
I'll be your candy shop of infinite deliciousity if you'll be my discotheque of endless rump-shaking.
"That was TERRIBLE!"
Sorry I'm afraid we're all out of waldorfs
Zzzzzzzzz...
after the first 5 seconds, the slashdot monster cut the power.
No, not funny.
fuck was that?
i expected some witty and funny stuff and all i got was the content mafia abusing two puppets to promote their latest brain farts.
Nows my chance to sell all the wasabi-peas I've collected that look like statler and/or waldorf.
Good times ahead!
Does this imply some sort of Muppet porn flick? I'd watch that for a dollar!

Why do we always troll here?
I guess we'll never know.
It's like some kind of torture
To try to get first post!
Are any of the muppets not being pimped now? Miss piggie and kermit are selling pizza, ugg...
:)
Hey, I was jusy happy to see Alf get out of rehab and pick up some commercial work. I heard his coke problem made John Belushi look like a Boy Scout.
And the "Pets.com" sock puppet get out of 'club fed' after being convicted on 'pump and dump' internet stock charges. I hope he can rehab also and become a contributing member of society.

No longer living doesnt mean that we cannot expect a comporable performance. Elvis is dead as well but I saw him perform last week - and let me tell you the guy has not lost a step.
I was never a real muppet fan but these characters always killed me, it was sad to see that the creative team behind this little endeavor didnt make sure that the characters were "done right."
But hey, this was a first, hopefully they will take the constructive criticism and go back to work.
---- The real Slashdot is still here. You just have to browse at -1 to read the comments.
You moderators who don't know the muppets should stick to talking like Charlie Brown's adults. "Wah woh wa wa wah whoa."

Both Jim Henson and Richard Hunt are no longer living.
:(
Neither are their legacies
Maybe everyone is just doing their Statler and Waldorf impression?

When 900 years old you are, review movies you should not.
The comment has already been made. Let's move it along people. Nothing to see here.
Darth Vader: "I am pleased at your faith in the dark side, Beebos of Slashdot. You wish for more of the dark side? Take the special edition Dark Side(r) M&Ms(tm) to feed the inner darkness of your soul, and together we can rule the galaxy!"
Bart: "Don't worry, amigo. Here, have a crunchy, peanut-buttery Butterfinger(tm) bar to make you forget the pain of childhood memories selling out. Aye carumba!"
Leonardo: "Whoa, hang on a sec, duuude! Eveyone knows the best comfort food for a crime fightin' turtle is a hot slice of Domino's(tm) fresh baked pepperoni pizza! Just eat one up, and you'll be kickin' butt in no time! Cowabunga, dudes and dudettes!"
Oscar: "Just do what I do when I start to feel down and think my life is a miserable failure. Crawl into a big, comfy garbage can stuffed with newspapers for warmth and cuddle with a nice bottle of Stolichnaya(r) vodka and soon you'll forget that you're the laughingstock of Sesame Street and children beat you senseless with sticks everyday while laughing, always laughing... *sob* - *gulp* *gulp* Ahhhh, much better... Now come here, Elmo, let me show you some fun things you can do when you don't wear pants...."
After the cameras are off
Statler: I can't beleive it's come to this.
Waldorf: Well, it can't get any worse.
Statler: They made me smile! And for a movie I didn't even see!
Waldorf: You think that's bad? I'm still waiting for this freak to get his hand out of my butt!
Don't use the Troll mod just because you disagree with me.
