How Sam the Eagle Spent Memorial Day
I’m almost as excited about Jason Segel’s new Muppets movie as I am for Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World and Tron: Legacy, but really, if the Muppets only did these web videos for a while. I don’t know who’s in charge of these things, but they’re fantastic. If you’re bored, you could do far worse then to spend the evening watching them here. Also, the only thing funnier than Sam the Eagle’s shockingly accurate assessment of the internet is his rage when he finds out the Guess Who is Canadian. (Via Geeks of Doom)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
