When Irish Eyes are...Swedish?

Thought about saving this one for St Patrick's Day, but realized I might forget I was saving it, so here it is. Besides, I'm Irish on my maternal grandmother's side all year round! So why not acknowledge it in true Muppet style?



This song always makes me think of my brother, whose name is Herman Reginald Fernando Danny. The vid is nutty enough that he would really like it, so I'm dedicating this to him.

This was my favorite Muppet sketch from Sesame Street.

I loved the two little Martian dudes and their "Yep yep yep yep" noises. They don't look like any other Muppet in use at the time, which is a part of their charm. They're almost kind of ethereal in their shapelessness. I love the way that their big chins snap upright when they're surprised or scared. Still too funny after all these years.




When I was looking for this sketch on YouTube, I was surprised at how many times these guys have been used. I remembered a few of them, but there were a lot that I was unaware of. It was a fun video search to do. The telephone bit is far away my favorite one, but I like this next one a lot too. It reminds me a little bit of the old fable about the blind men and the elephant, but with a fun twist. They can see the clock, but are trying to identify it using a book that is giving them ambiguous ideas. What fun.

Still striving for a modicum of class, this time from chickens!

This has got to be the most fun you can have with a bunch of chickens and not get arrested. Be sure to watch the bottom row of chickens after Gonzo steps out front!



"Not enough to kill it." Ha!

It's time to raise the bar here and bring some class to this here joint

Welcome to Muppet Week. How can you not love poor, unfortunate Beaker, especially doing Beethoven? Especially love Statler and Waldorf at the end. Play it again, indeed. Over and over and over and over....
