Bunsen Honeydew: Don't give up on them, Beaker. Beaker: What would you have me do, Bunsen? I've heard these arguments before. Bunsen Honeydew: That was a long time ago. Mankind has evolved since then. Beaker: Yes, into us.
These are two Breaking Bad mashups I've had sitting around, finally getting to them. Above: Jeff Matsuda, producer and creative director on The Batman, drew a pile of mashups for an awesome Reddit thread. Below, Dann Matthews brings The Muppets into the world of meth, where I'd always assumed they'd been for the past few years.
Is he died? Beaker find out why the web is a tougher audience than a live variety show. On the other hand, Statler and Waldorf are the perfect internet commentators.
Beaker, the put upon assistant of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, really does take the most abuse of any Muppet. But this time he's going for the wind with his version of Ode To Joy, over at the Webby Awards. And you can't help him with your vote, because I don't read my subscriptions in a timely fashion! But this mayhem-filled video is still worth watching. Mee-mee-mee, Beaker, mee-mee-mee.
Update: It appears that Beaker does win on occasion, taking home a People's Voice award at the Webbys for Ode to Joy. As a reward for the people who voted, they have pulled the above video. One step forward, two steps back, Muppets crew.
The Muppets may be testing the waters of their popularity, with the release of several sure-to-go-viral clips o YouTube over the past couple of weeks. There are rumours of a new film on the horizon or perhaps a return to TV. Either way, I'd love to see them back, especially if they can recapture the pre-Disney, Jim Henson anarchic joy of the originals.
For now the Swedish Chef, Beaker, Gonzo and Sam the Eagle have all set up YouTube accounts and are creating original clips. It's funny stuff and I'd be satisfied with that alone.
Waldorf: The internet is a completely different culture, isn't it? Statler: You said it. Everything here is immediately followed by sarcastic comments and nasty responses Waldorf: Yup. We're finally where we belong.
Here is Beaker's version of Ode to Joy to give you an example.
