Ok. Now I've calmed down a little....
Yes, I agree it is good that the Muppet's are getting exposure. And better yet, that they were advertising all adult films, not children's.
However, I felt they laid on the innuendo a little thick. Pepe needing to take a cold shower? Stadler and Waldorf talking about Viagra? This is not the Muppets I know, ok. Land of Gorch, maybe. But not Muppets.
The voices were definitely off, though Stadler wasn't bad. And Pepe seemed quite good.
The Puppetry had much to be desired, specially Waldorf.
The Puppets, I am pleased to say, were up to their usual standards, which makes a change recently.
The writers, though, don't seem to understand what it is that makes Stadler and Waldorf funny. They seem to be under the impression that the two old gentlemen say anything, and laugh about it. Which was never true on the Muppet show. What they said on the Muppet show was not always funny, but it was funny that they thought it was funny, whereas here:
"I'm Stadler"
"And I'm Waldorf"
"And we're not dead"
"Yet"
"Oh, ho, ho, ho"
was not v. funny in my opinion, and even them laughing about it wasn't very funny.
So, what is the spark that is missing? I am not sure, but I think A. They should be in their proper box. And B. They need better writers.
