Okay, good. I'm not very funny at all... that's why I'm only a sidekick.

:sleep: : Hey Statler!
:boo: : What?
Waldorf: Do you know why Sal failed at the Muppet Survivor Challenge?
Statler: No, why?
Waldorf: Because he couldn't make a joke about Tom Cruise! **laughs**
...
Statler: That joke isn't funny.
Waldorf: Well, neither is Tom Cruise.

The Newsman...
*Hearing Mildred deliver her scripted joke for Statler and Waldorf...

Well, I can get the gist of what she was trying to do. Not unlike the routine they did where they kept saying a particular act was worse than what the other had just proclaimed, going further and further competing with themselves until they convinced themselves it was a good act instead.
Not sure on which TMS episode it was though. I'll brave the relative danger of my desk and flip up this score card...

*Flips up a 2.

Alright! Thanks, Judges. We will be adding up all the scores at the end. We now move on to Sal's piece...

Waldorf: Hey Statler!
Statler: What?
Waldorf: Do you know why Sal failed at the Muppet Survivor Challenge?
Statler: No, why?
Waldorf: Because he couldn't make a joke about Tom Cruise! **laughs**
...
Statler: That joke isn't funny.
Waldorf: Well, neither is Tom Cruise.

:grouchy: (looking at Sal's composition) Well, it wasn't quite that funny til I got to the last 2 lines. It was icky sypathetic until I was hit with the Tom Cruise trash talk out of no where. What a nasty trick...I loved it!! 4 rasberries!!

Well... I'll hate myself in the morning, but I agree with Oscar. The end about Tom Cruise not being funny was dead on.
*Discovers his cards are mostly missing... Oh, um, do you mind if I just give you this score? It's the only one I got left.
*Flips up a 2 again.

Next is Boober's pitch...

Ok, first Statler says "Say, did you hear about what happened to Rosie O'Donnel at the county fair?". Then Waldorf says "No, what happened?". Then Statler says "She tried to enter a beauty contest and the judge said, 'Sorry, no animals allowed'." Then they both laugh.
