OK Go Makes Beautiful Music With The Muppets

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comAugust 24, 2011 //

OK Go makes awesome music videos. The only thing that could make one of their epics even better? Muppets! Luckily, the band contributed a song to The Green Album, the new collection of Muppet cover songs. My favorite moment? When the guys hop on their signature treadmills—and Bunsen and Beaker speed them up. Oh, and there’s a special twist ending. Amazing. [AV Club] Keep reading »

The Muppets Take “The Green Lantern”

I’m having a hard time staying patient while waiting for the new Muppet movie, which won’t be in theaters until Thanksgiving. So I’m happy that Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and crew have taken to making parodies of the big movies of summer 2011. In this brand new one, the Muppets do “The Green Lantern.” I love the line, “If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were reciting some sort of important plot point.” [Huffington Post]

After the jump, more Muppet movie parodies. Keep reading »

A Muppet Marriage Proposal

Ami AngelowiczDecember 17, 2010 //

As a huge Muppets fan, I think this proposal video is just about the most romantic thing I’ve ever seen, besides when Piggy marries Kermit in “Muppets Take Manahttan.” This guy ordered custom Muppets that resembled him and his girlfriend for this proposal. Of course she said yes, but if she hadn’t, I would have taken him. [The Daily What] Keep reading »

Do Not Want: Straggly Muppet Dress

Carrie MorrisseyDecember 6, 2010 //

Growing up with “The Muppets” has been a way of life for the children of the last several generations. The quirky and adorable creatures taught us how to sing, dance, and work things out with friends. And as much as we owe them for all of the life lessons they’ve taught us, the way to pay them back is not by wearing a ridiculous feather and sequin “confection.” This dress is just like a Muppet who was hit by a car –depressing, expensive and in the end–very, very ugly.

Zach Galifianakis To Be Muppet-a-fied

SimchaNovember 1, 2010 //

Robert Downey, Jr. recently opened his big mouth on accident, and no, it wasn’t to tell me he loves me, sigh. But it’s pretty much the next best thing: Zach Galifianakis is going to be in the next Muppet movie! Yay! But who will he play? While normally I’d say he’d make a terrific live-action Fozzie Bear, after seeing Zach’s cheesecake shots in Vanity Fair, I think he’s a shoo-in for Miss Piggy! Keep reading »

The Swedish Chef Is Back!

Kelli BenderJuly 19, 2010 //


This is the only “Top Chef” I need. I’m suffering from cuteness overload from this video. The combo of the Swedish Chef’s mumbling, the ticklish shrimp puppets, and the lonely caption typist makes this the best popcorn shrimp recipe I have ever seen. Sorry, Bubba Gump. Enjoy the triumphant return of “The Muppets”‘ Swedish Chef. Keep reading »

Animal On Yer Phone? Awesome!

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMarch 11, 2010 //

I’m one of those iPhone owners who feels totally overwhelmed by the whole app phenomenon—isn’t “app” short for “appetizer”—and as a result has, uh, only two of them. But I am so going to get this one called “Animal Drummer.” It’s a game where you put on some tunes, and make Animal drum away to them, getting points for accuracy. I can already feel my subway rides going faster. [PopEater] Keep reading »

Muppet-Inspired Runway Looks

Lily QMarch 4, 2010 //

Whether it’s Miss Piggy imitating Lady Gaga, Benicio Del Toro’s eyebrows making him almost indistinguishable from The Muppets’ Wolfman or Ozzy Osbourne’s bizarre resemblance to Muppet musician Zoot, there’s a lot of human/puppet crossover going on these days. Perhaps noticing this trend, a handful of designers decided to extend it to the runway this season, sending out looks that might be more at home on Sesame Street than at Bryant Park. Check out more high fashion Muppets after the jump. [Refinery29] Keep reading »

Jake Gyllenhaal Learns How To Separate, Looks Hot At The Same Time

Susannah BreslinDecember 14, 2009 //


OK, um, hello? Is it just me, or is this hawt? I mean, I had no idea that an octopus puppet on Jake Gyllenhaal‘s head could be so titillating. Something about the spread legs, and the on-top-of-Jake’s-head position, and the obsessing over the word “separate.” I feel like it’s all some kind of primal dialogue to which I am only partially privy. Where was Jake when I was watching “Sesame Street”? Probably not born yet. Sigh. Keep reading »

The Muppets Do Queen And It Is Beautiful

Amelia McDonell-ParryNovember 25, 2009 //


It’s a well-known fact that Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” is one of the the hardest songs to sing and until this very second, I didn’t think anyone but my beloved Freddie Mercury could pull it off. I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was to have The Muppets sing this classic rock song, but they should be given a prize or a medal or perhaps be knighted by the Queen. I particularly like Beaker’s contribution — mee-mee-mee-mee! [via Buzzfeed] Keep reading »
