Muppet Monday: Christmas 2011 Can’t Come Soon Enough

Well, there’s more than just Muppet movie casting news these days.  No, what we’re getting now are actual photos from The Greatest Muppet Movie Ever Made, and not just promo shots of Jason Segel and the gang, but photos from the set.   Behold, the Henson Company Studios in Hollywood transformed into Muppet Studios, a once thriving studio that has fallen into disrepair.  It’ll be Segel’s character Gary, and his roommate, the new Muppet Walter, who ostensibly rally the Muppets to reunite and revive the studio.

(one of our greatest regrets from our time living in LA is not trying to take a tour Henson Studios, or at the very least stopping at the gate on La Brea Ave and attempting to bribe the guard with pepperoni pizza).

Muppet Thursday: Surprisingly Not a Muppet April Fools’

Muppet Studios uploaded another one of their delightful videos today, although it curiously doesn’t appear to tie into April Fools’ Day.  One would think that if they were going to debut a video on April 1st it would be some sort of Muppet prank.  But then again, maybe by not delivering an April Fools’ joke they’ve executed a reverse prank.  Maybe the absence of the prank is the prank.  Outsmarted us again, Muppets!

ANYWAY, this new video finds a furry, faux-bunny ear’d Muppet Monster hunting wabbit while crooning (murdering) the Ben E. King classic “Stand by Me.”

Not my favorite of the Muppet viral video series but damn do these uploads look good.  It’s like the monster is stalking his prey right inside this coffee shop.  AH!  Stay away from my jasmine green tea!
