That is seriously an amazing idea. I have never before wished so hard that you were the 'real' Cookie Monster and had the connections to make this happen.

Please tell us what you thought of it next week! (No spoilers as I am seeing it Thanksgiving day and will not have the time to hunt you down and kill you if you give the good stuff away before then)

That's what inspired me to watch Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas this weekend. 'Tis the season.

The Muppaphone skit was my biggest laugh-out-loud moment so far this season. How he has to 'tune' his instrument by re-arranging the little fluffy balls is great.

The first time I saw the movie I was willing to agree with Tasha that Cera was playing the role that way on purpose, mainly because I liked the rest of the movie so much I wanted it to be true. Then I saw "Youth in Revolt", where Cera is supposed to be playing two different characters in a fight club-esque evil alter…

Similar concept in Black Snake Moan, that Sam Jackson chained Christina Ricci to a radiator was because she was a skank and it was for her own good. Because obviously a guy who would chain a girl to his radiator is morally superior and we should all be so lucky to earn his redemption.

I too have been shotgunning Parks and Rec episodes and kicking myself for not watching it sooner. I also wish I could change my AV Club handle to DJ Roomba because my current one is too long for disqus. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

It's a blessing and a curse. When something is funny, it sticks in there forever, but reciting Wet Hot American Summer line for line does not help me find my fucking car keys.

Mentioned this in a different post, but that was one of my recurring nightmares as a kid- eaten by a giant muppet. I can still remember the feeling of felt teeth closing around me *shudder*

I heard him talk about it at one of his concerts years ago, right when he was beginning to go solo. He mentioned how in some magazine the band Korn called Ben Folds Five the worst band ever, and how completely ridiculous it was that they were using his band as a way to prop themselves up as badasses. So I've always…

It's my fault. I started watching it and loving it this season, so of course it started to sink in the ratings. How silly of me.

That's such an amazing story. I think a person's appreciation of this song coincides with how optimistic they feel about love, and finding that one person. Me, I'm like the poster on Mulder's wall- I want to believe. Not surprisingly I love this song.

If you squirt a little liquid alfalfa in there, it's blast off time.

It wasn't just refusing to embezzle that did Smoochy in- it was refusing to cooperate with the Parade of Hope, "the roughest of all the charities." Ok so the movie, and Williams' role in it, is a bit obvious and broad, but goddamn if it doesn't crack me up anyway.

Seriously. Have none of the writers on the show ever had a kid? Between the belly and the "pregnancy brain" BS (which Lily is now miraculously cured from) I'm doubting they've ever been around an actual pregnant person.

I just looked at the above image long enough and I got it- he was the creepy guy that acted on Gloria's behalf and did the ritual with Dawn. Wow, random.

Depressingly accurate. Good call on Tom Waits though.

I'm going to have to give back some Buffy nerd points, but who was he on Buffy?

I feel like every episode of the Muppet Show is a battle royal- they get stomped, punched, eaten, even exploded and still live to see the next day. Obviously, they are indestructible. We should all just feel lucky that they use their powers for good.

I started watching these on YouTube last week for TV Club and now I am way ahead- they're like potato chips. These two episodes were unremarkable for me, except for the Mahna Manha and Rowlf sketches. Things start getting consistently better in Episode 4 though.
