And I never liked that Cookie Monster piano. It somehow haunted my dreams when I was younger. Thank frog I never had it.

Isn't that the same Big Bird Baby Rowlf was playing with in MTM?

Now that I think of it, there's nothing but disturbing looking things in this advert.

The empty count puppet look like that really ugly ersatz Count from the last (and terrible) MadTV Sesame Street skit.

The Big Bird plush is hideous and he has T-Rex arms.

The position of the cookie on the Cookie Monster bean bag toss game makes him look like he's drooling vomit.

The Snuffy doll resembles the original (read: creepy enough to creep out the most avid Snuffy fan) version of the character.

And I don't much care for the expression on that Cookie Monster doll's face.

But that Kermit doll, wrong colored collar aside, looks pretty darn good.

I like all these Muppet toys, including that Count. (That Count puppet was actually never sold, and a crappier fabric head version replaced the Count seen in the picture.)
