Though Henson never actually cooked the bird, it's the same concept.
Only Henson did it funnier.

Yeah, big Bird's a big bird. So naturally, we eat him. yeah. hey! there's a pidgeon on the window sill covered in dirt and germs. Bet that's tastey.

if you're going to do a Muppet send up, do something original and funny. Not so much for us fans, but for yourself.

Ah, just take it a light hearted dig at our beloved Sesame Muppets. That particular "joke" has been on the net for as long as I can remember. It's certainly not as tasteless as some Muppet send-ups I have seen!

Not tasteless, mind you.... just unoriginal and not funny on that level of Henson already made that joke much better.

What, the family guy thing or the comic? Either way, I'm sure Henson would have a good sense of humor about these.

If that offends you, what does this do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtRBBbEJpVw
Holy crap, good find! Some people have waaaay too much time on their hands to put stuff like that together. I'm definitely not complaining, though.

I can't remember who said this but I've always heard "Parody is the sincerest form of flattery". That's how I look at stuff like this.

Oh yeah, yeah. He would have had a great sense of humor about it. I read somewhere that Art Cloaky had a sense of humor seeing Eddy Murphy as Gumby on SNL.
