New Muppets Trailer: Puppet Sex, Bear Bowels and 405 Freeway Jokes

You know, I like adult Muppet parodies as much as anybody – Avenue Q, Sad Kermit and Special Ed from Crank Yankers are all things I’ve enjoyed (Jim Henson’s kids really don’t like them, though – I’ve asked).

But I’m not sure how I feel about the actual Muppets making sex jokes and discussing their bodily functions. I do, however, know how I feel about 405 freeway jokes, and it goes a li’l sumpin’ like this: I live in the Valley area of L.A. I have to take the 405 to get to the westside. THE 405 IS A GOD-FORSAKEN NIGHTMARE. Also? Nobody who lives outside of L.A. knows what the fuck you’re talking about when you bring it up. So maybe best not to.

Another thing: could we maybe not just call the show “The Muppets”? Since they just did a movie called that? I promise, as long as the word “Muppets” is in the title, we’ll know what it is – I’m just giving you the heads up that parents might want to know just by looking at a title whether they’re about to put on the PG movie, or the TV show that talks about Fozzie shitting in the woods.
