    Fozzie's Comedy Tour

    Chapter 4 Fozzie's next stop was at a hunting lodge. "Hiya, folks! I'm Fozzie Bear, here to tell you jokes both old and rare!" "I prefer well-done", said a member of the audience. "A funny thing happened to me on the way to the lodge. I was in the desert, and..." Everybody...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Anybody notice how on live-action shows that don't regularly have musical numbers and don't include established recordings in the shows soundtracks, that there might still be occasions where a character will sing a copyrighted song, or even do an entire performance of an existing song, yet on...

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    I don't know if Rocky and Bullwinkle was less accessible than The Muppet Show. In the past two decades, Rocky and Bullwinkle reruns have aired longer than The Muppet Show reruns. Though I don't know when the last time that shows reruns have been on (last I saw the show on TV was in 2008, I think...

    Fozzie's Comedy Tour

    Chapter 3 Fozzie drove out into the middle of nowhere, until he saw a big building with a large sign out front that says "Fozzie Bear performs tonight - third floor". "That must be the place." Fozzie parked his car, as the last of the jellybeans blew up. "What loud jellybeans...

    Fozzie's Comedy Tour

    Chapter 2 Fozzie pulled up to "The Grand Hotel". "Well, this is my first stop, the Grand Hotel. Sounds like a nice place to perform." But when Fozzie entered, he saw that it wasn't a very good-looking place. There was mud on the walls, the lobby couch exploded, and customers were...

    Fozzie's Comedy Tour

    Enjoy this new fan fic, in which Fozzie Bear goes on a comedy tour. The humor might be a little dark (though I don't intend any dark humor to come from the Muppets). Chapter 1 Fozzie was outside the Muppet theater, getting ready for a comedy tour. "I can't believe my manager managed...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    That part I was really referring to prominent human characters (Max wasn't a villain, either). I guess I mistakenly worded it wrong.

    Why can't Sesame cameo In Muppets Most Wanted?

    I expected that. Normally whenever movies include clips owned by outside companies, they include copyright notices for the footage. But I was surprised to see that they didn't just give Sesame Workshop a copyright acknowledgement for the clip, but also for associated characters and elements...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I thought it might be fun to tally up all similarities I found between this, The Great Muppet Caper, and The Muppets Take Manhattan. Similarities to The Great Muppet Caper: A random appearance by the villain in the opening song (then again, in TMM we saw Max and Doc Hopper before we knew who...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I wonder why they couldn't have replaced or cut Walter's line about the song's title being The Muppets... Again. After all, many of the songs had cut lines (and that part wasn't in the music video for "We're Doing a Sequel"). Not sure how easy it would have been to come up with a different line...

    Lips

    I was wondering what the context of the "buh we don't got any instruhments" line would have been about. I noticed that Lips is there quite a bit for maybe the first hour, but then he seems to disappear for the rest of the movie. He's not at the wedding, he's not in the gulag finale, he's not...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    According to The Muppet Mindset's interview with Nick Stoller, he wanted to include a cameo by the Martians, but couldn't figure out a way to include them (I would have put them in Constantine's song, or on the train for one scene). It's never brought up in the interview whether Disney and/or...

    Why can't Sesame cameo In Muppets Most Wanted?

    Today The Muppet Mindset posted an interview with writer Nick Stoller, and he said that he had tried to put a cameo by the Martians into the movie, but couldn't find a way that fit the plot (I think they could have been in the "I'll Give You What You Want" song). The fact that they are owned by...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    So Nadya catches Kermit escaping because she knows what escape plans prisoners use. She knows the first, second, and third attempts they make. I wonder if she would have caught Kermit if he went back to his first or second attempt ("going back to the second attempt is always the fourth thing...

    The ending in the book is a little less happy than in the finished film. The book ends with Nadya arresting Kermit not just for breaking out of the gulag, but also for stealing her heart, and the Muppets get their prison sentence shortened from several years to just six months in exchange...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    When I saw the official credits listing, I was surprised to see that Pepe was billed first of Bill Baretta's characters. But while there's more of Rowlf and arguably more of Dr. Teeth and The Swedish Chef, it seems like none of Bill Baretta's characters are really that dominant (though Rowlf...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Well, I saw the movie this morning. The first showing I could. And it was great. Not much from the commercials was cut. There's some things that I think were cut, but I don't know off-hand whether the visuals were there and they just looped the lines (though looped lines could have been...

    Well, since the film comes out tomorrow, I guess I'll say which characters I was surprised to see have a part in the film. It was Bobby Benson and his baby band.
