As posted on Facebook by Jodi:
"Murphy and Sam are just like the two old guys in the balcony on The Muppet Show. Just like them! Except not as funny."

Not only are they still there, so is a beer can they left on the floor! Preserved forever behind the glass!

I didn't catch the whole episode of Community, but at the very end, two characters were dressed up as Bert and Ernie and they did a bit as them, then they "ate" cookies and had the cookies fall out of their mouths just as though they were Muppets.
