Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
At the movie theater, you get a strong urge to throw your popcorn up in the air and shout, "3-D! 3-D! Gosveerr de poppin' it in yer face..." (and/or hold two soda cups up to your eyes and go, "do dee do dee do dee do...")
That reminds me! I hate when people think the only Muppets that exist are Muppet Show Muppets; Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, etc. (Ex. "Grover's not a Muppet. He's from Sesame Street!")
This isn't really annoying so much as funny, but I mentioned Jerry Nelson to one of my friends today, and her reply was, "Isn't that the guy who sings 'Great Balls of Fire'?" obviously confusing him with Jerry Lee Lewis. It's funny because, if you think about it, doesn't Jerry Nelson sound like...
It's really hard to do characters that are so close to the performer's real-life voice, like Fozzie or Kermit or Scooter. The extent of believable Kermit and Fozzie I can do is basically "aaaAaah", "wocka wocka", and "YAYYYYY!" (arm flails included). I can sort of fudge Scooter when I sing, but...
Ugh. I cannot do Grover to save my life. Frank's characters are pretty tough. Though I can do Fozzie's "aaaAAAAaah" pretty decently.
Oh, and I can do a pretty good Beauregard. "Hey, who left mah bukkit out on duh floor?"
I'm no master impressionist, that's for sure. But I've been told that I do a spot-on Sweetums (his "HOLLYWOOD?" from TMM, at least).
My brother and I go back and forth as Bunsen and Beaker all the time, and I've gotten better at both. I remember reading somewhere that Richard inhaled Beaker's...

If you hit File - Save Movie File on Windows Movie Maker and go through the motions, it'll save your project as a .wmv file and you'll be able to upload it to Youtube.
Here's a little tribute montage thing I made in honor of Jim. I'm new to this Youtube thing (owning an account, anyways), so I've been spending a lot of time putzing around on Windows Movie Maker.

I couldn't get the video up on the 16th like I had planned, because I've been having trouble with Windows Movie Maker and converting the project to the right type of file and all that fun stuff. But once I figure that out (hopefully within the next day or two) I will definitely post the link...
Most of these have already been said, but my biggest Muppet pet peeves are:
- Beeker, Fozzy, Ralph, etc.
- Veggie Monster. Every time somebody tries to tell me that Cookie Monster is now the Veggie Monster, I have to cut them off mid-sentence and say, "IT'S AN URBAN LEGEND."
- Ernie and...
You might be an obsessed Muppet fan if...
