Statler & Waldorf on movies.com

That wasn't Eric.

That was not Eric doing Sam, it was a cheap convenience based recast.

Ah; I see... thanks.

 

[Gonzo14]

so it's Victor Yerrid and Drew Massey performing S & W, who does which voice

also who did
Dr Teeth?
Animal?
Sam?

 

[Beauregard]

Who's writing them? I'll ask that questian again. Does anyone know?

Waldorf's voice is good. I quite like them again.

Ooh! Rats.

Hhahahaha!!! "Your brother was spreading diseases by your age." and "Why are you putting on your sister's clothing and make up, your creeping us out."

*giggle*

My real-player keeps messing up, and then everyones lips are out of synch, very distracting.

Good stuff! I liked how they didn't agree on Rent...finally they become real and have different opinions! The cross dressing rat thing was hilarious...I've known a few of those in my time. Took all my cheese.

Yay for Sweetums, penguins and new Muppet characters(tho, the new Muppet characters seem straight out of Sesame Street or Muppets Tonight) They need to bring back the Jim Henson Hour era Muppets Anyways, I liked this episode...it was quaint. Just so nice to have a regular occuring Muppet mini show to look forward to. I also like the context of the humor that lies below the surface.

 

[MWoO]

Yeah I noticed the new style of human characters has taken over since Muppets Tonight.

I like Ivan and Sweetums. That was a good bit. The one with the photographer wasn't that great though. It wasn't awful but it wasn't a must watch either. I'm surprised there were no trailers though. The show use to be a venue for getting people to watch the trailers and now it is it's own little show i guess. I think this movies.com show is taking off. Too bad Steve and Bill and Dave didn't get to take off with it. It's not that I do not like the new guys. I just feel sorry for the old guys.

Hmm... I wouldn't say cheap. AFTRA (the TV union) has worked hard to unionize many performers appearing in web based shows and videogames. The guys doing these performances are union. Odds are whoever are doing these roles are earning somewhere between $500-$700 a day which would be in the range of union minimum, depending on what contract the union and producers agreed to accept. If you have an agent add at least 10% to that sum.

Not many actors (nor Muppeteers) would earn more then minimum for this kind of internet project.

Seems if your name isn't famous across the land, you can't expect premium pay. Most non-famous actors make union minimum (or close to it), so do most Muppeteers.

Wow! That was pretty good! Much better than I expected! But I was kinda turned back when they didn't show any trailers, but I think having Sweetums, Ivan, the paparazzi, and the penguins makes up for it! I loved Sweetums and the penguins!

 

[Beauregard]

Wau! This one is Fabulous! Sweetums voice seems close to perfect, and Ivan is a new character with personality, and Statler and Waldorf were funnier than usual!

I loved it.

Ivan sounds similar to...Steve Whitmere I think? Or jerry? Or someone...so, that is good. We get the Muppet feeling through him. I hated the white background though, Sweetums went a little fuzzy against it. Nice big actions on Sweetums there...a tad off...but close.

Clive Focus is Fab!!!!! Clive: "Diving into the hot tub totally nakkid, that was cold, really cold. *penguins quacking*"

Waldorf seems dead-on now!

HACK-tors. Cool.

And...Hahahaha....Don we now our gay apparel...hahaha...*cough* Excuse me for a moment.

Anyway, I still wanna now who writes these...

To me Ivan sounded al ot like the guy who does Baby Bear. His name escapes me now. Either way who ever did it (one of the 2 new gfuys of ocurse) that guy is a great performer.
