Statler And Waldorf From the Balcony

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the muppets-with-attitude dept.

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."

    When the Muppets have sold out, there's no use in fighting it anymore. The world is a dark, despicable place. I might as well join the dark side. Can anyone think of any great ways I can screw my fellow man?

      There's a reason for that. Both Jim Henson and Richard Hunt are no longer living.

    If only Henson had lived, we might not be visited with these travesties.

    If you listen carefully you can hear Jim Henson doing 6,000 rpm in his grave.

  6. Way Off.. by Thinko · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They strayed from everything that made these guys funny in the first place..

    Way too much chatter, and far too 'happy'.. it's supposed to be short glib responses that are cynical and comedic, not conversational or 'talk-show-host'.

    Way to totally miss the boat on this one, this is a disgrace.
