Come on then guys, lets have a bit of Muppet-loving seeing as they've mentioned it on the show a lot recently! (I got 8/10 on the Muppets quiz this morning...)

This is one of my all time favourites - still makes me laugh!

I always hated Miss Piggy. Always going around hitting people. Until she met her match...



But it's hard to see past the classic...

the Muppets' promotion for their film has been so good - close to the perfect campaign. They've had viral videos, great social media exposure, a LOT of media exposure (even to the point where in Modern Family they were going to see the Muppet Movie, a 1 minute mention and it's ingrained in your consciousness), sponsoring WWE Raw - they deserve a lot of profit for it. Very impressed!

I only got 5/10. Was a bit disappointed with myself, to be honest. I plan to play the clip to my flatmate this evening and see if he fares any better.

I got the 40 Yrs of Sesame St dvd for Christmas and the accompanying book for my birthday - they are amazing. It's made me wanna buy more and more Jim Henson stuff, he was such a visionary. The stuff in the book about his work with computer animations in the early 70s is fascinating.

I always liked Statler and Waldorf. Not sure what that says about me!



Also, have this bonus video. Nic, don't watch this one! :D

I probably should give the Muppets a try at some point given the hype. The interview was funny.

They were great this morning. Looking forward to watching it on the website this evening.

I'll be watching something entirely different that will be indulging in having a man in someone's throat (Kermit referenced it this morning)...




Innerspace.

Loved the Whatnot they got him. I don't know how anyone can fail to like the Muppets. The interview was brilliant and they really gelled well. Definitely a highlight of the show.

I don't like them. I don't recall ever liking them as a child either. They don't entertain me in the slightest.

I love the Muppets. The Muppet Christmas Carol is my favourite Christmas movie after all and always enjoy watching it every year on Christmas Eve. Looking forward to seeing the movie when it comes out but sucks we didn't get it before Christmas since I think that would have done well.

I would love to have a Wot-not but don't think you can get them online and only can get them done in the store in New York.

Muppets Christmas Carol is awesome - I also love A Muppet Family Christmas which features the Sesame Street gang and the Fraggles too.

Oh awesome, thanks very much for that Dreamer. Might get one for myself as a birthday treat in April. I assume they ship internationally or else I'll be disappointed.

Nope. U.S. only -- I know because I made one and then they told me they wouldn't ship it! :? :(

My mum is going to New York later this year...I'm hoping to persuade her to get me one :)

The Muppets quiz and interview are both now in the sound vault, by the way.

Well, Kermit said he found the Chris Whatnot in Covent Garden, so maybe there is a secret factory there!

Has anyone seen the film? I've never seen the Muppets but since I learned of Jason Segel's involvement in it I've become significantly more keen.

I'm going next week. I really wanted to go this week but my flatmate has an exam tomorrow so he's been spending all his time revising, so once that's out the way we're gonna go.

I saw it last Saturday, it was amazing. Like Dom said today, it's oddly one of the best films I've seen. It was SO charming. Sounds cheesy to say, but it was good, wholesome fun. Unbelievably well written, sad at times & funny throughout. 9/10.

Sat and today are up
