Play the Goddamn Music and Light the @#$%ing Lights, the Muppets Are BACK
Behold the final trailer for Jason Segel’s Muppet movie, The Muppets. There’s so much brilliance in just this footage that I honestly can’t imagine me not loving this movie. The Muppets coming together to save the studio? Yes. A Muppet who is himself obsessed with the Muppets? Awesome. Ridiculous celebrity cameos and a mix of sly meta-humor and fart jokes? Fantastic. The Moopets? FUCK AND YES. Also if somebody eats Pepe Le Prawn, that’s just icing on the cake for me.
