Statler & Waldorf on movies.com

This weeks wasn't that great. Will Bill always be theo ne to perform the guest character? I like his characters and all, but though in someone else once in awhile please.

Johnny Fiama! Oooh, I'm over there! *runs*

As usual it was really funny. Steve does such an excellent job with Statler in my opinion. Is Bill doing every guest character? So far it's been Pepe, Rowlf, and Johnny (plus Pepe in the bonus) and those are all characters now performed by Bill. We need some more characters like the Floyd or Scooter. Oh well it's still great to see the Muppets doing something really cool!

It might be that only Steve, Dave, and Bill are signed to the feature so only they are working on it. I was surprised Sal was not with Jonny. Sal is ALWAYS with Jonny. Jonny is not as funny without Sal and Sal is not as funny without Jonny.

I would like to see Scooter appear. This could be a way to reintroduce old and new characters to the general public.

Oh man, this is the best one yet!

Statler makes reference to the fascist Fox News and their millitary mongering, Fiama makes reference to mob violence, Statler and Waldorf completely diss Michael Bay's summer action films over the years...and don't forget to click on the bonus clip with pepe! Pepe goes on about adult films, and references a few things I cant mention on here. Whee, good to see Disney is letting the Muppets keep some edge. Keep em coming movies.com!

I love the way they poked fun at how weird Tom Cruise has become (in the first From the Balcony). One of the best lines was about how they liked War of the Worlds because Tim Robbins wasn't "boring us with his politics". And after the clip was shown "Its good to see Tom Cruise not acting crazy!" Loved knowing that they also see what the general public sees.

I loved this weeks edition. The vocies are still off, but I'm gettign used to them. Johnny was adorable! "I spent two minutes in he!!..."

I liked it. And peeps who think the Muppets are for kids, go take a lok at this, h'okey.

I know what you mean. Johnny was still pretty funny though. His humor is just so subtle you really have to listen for it. Sometimes it takes a second to really sink in what he says. When Sal is there, it is a bit more obvious though.

This weeks balconism:

Expenda-BILL

The nameless annoymous character that goes along on dangerous missions and ends up being the first to die. Always played by an actor of little or no merit.

Talking of Bill, Mr Barretta is certainally keeping busy with his clips... somewhere on the site it mention that the Swedish Chef is set to make an appearance so that will always be someone different. With the Muppets, you never have to repeat a guest star.

Pepe seems to be an additional feature now, so it looks that there will be plenty of Bill anyway:

"They tried to replace me with Johnny Fiama OK. But without me there's no sex appeal; unless two old guys do it for you in which case you want to speak to a specialist!"

The Chef is also done by Bill. Dang, I guess ll the guest stars will be his. It's not a bad thing really, I just would lioke to see more from other characters, especially more like Rowlf who have been silent for a long time.
