You're right, Erin... that may not be funny, but it is really, really interesting. And kinda weird. But hey, I guess the Muppets come in handy all over the place!

Am I the only one who caught, on "My Name Is Earl" that Earl's best friend mentioned he collected the Palisades Muppet figures? Also, I think at one point, Earl's ex-wife said that his voice sounded like a gay Kermit.

I know it's weird when you first see it but the website is actually pretty funny.

Ok guys, I just went through all 23 pages and I didn't see this reference listed. Anyone remember My So Called Life? At the end of the episode

I hope no one mentioned this yet, but a couple of weeks ago, there was a reference on Late Night with Conan O'Brian called "Vomiting Kermit". It's basically a large Kermit doll that spews fake vomit from its mouth.

Oh, and I almost forgot! About last week or so on the Soup, they showed a clip of Sesame Street, involving a "Hairy Godfather". And, um... Yeah. And Joe McHale said something like, "I love your hair, Snufflagupuss!"
