This was a funny commercial.

I wonder if Dave Goelz actually operated Bunsen here. Something about his movements seem different.

I also wonder if Kermit was only here to include one of the main Muppets. I think it could have worked with just Bunsen and Beaker (and they're certainly not obscure characters). I guess the main thing Kermit added to being there (aside from introducing) is telling Bunsen that Beaker is on fire.

I wonder if we'll get more commercials anytime soon that star supporting characters. It'd be great to see a commercial with The Electric Mayhem (or just a few members... I don't really want to see one with just Animal, though), or a commercial starring Scooter.

To be fair...how long did it USUALLY take for Bunsen to even notice that poor Beaker was afire, or being eaten, or stuck in glue, etc, etc, etc? Beaker needs to invent a "your assistant is in mortal danger" alarm and strap the reciever to Bunsen's earlobe... :eek:
