Ah sweet Muppety goodness
Honestly, this is the BEST single greatest piece the Muppets have done in some time.
I'd like to echo what DrTooth said a few pages back. This is one of the most awesome things I have seen from the Muppets in a while.
This video feels like the most important Muppet development since May 1990. Universally lauded, internationally crazy-popular, caters to all ages and all levels of Muppet-fandom-ness...and pretty darn entertaining. As skeptical as some of us may have been with having the Muppets in Disney's hands, you gotta give them credit.

The very last moments, with Kermit doing that jaw/teeth grinding thing, then saying "sheesh", was reminiscent of the classic exasperated Kermit of yore, and Piggy made me laugh out loud for the first time in many years.
Also loved...
..."does anyone know if there is a part for MEEEEEE"
...the eyebrow acrobatics of Johnny Fiama
...how the chickens at the beginning are looking above the camera, and how their wings are all jittery at the "emotional" parts
...Animal, when he raises his arms with drumsticks in hand (during "momma...!"), preparing to play.
...Beuregard (sp?) saying "will not let you joke"
...The entire "oooh...oh yeah...oh yeah" part, particularly the manamanas.
...Bean Bunny! the Beaker/Bobo exchange, Carl the Big Mean Bunny! Swedish Chef bork-ing "Mamma Mia", Electric Mayhem! the really cool monster-chorus that sings "thunderbolt and lightening" line, and the penguin-harmony thing.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful.
