Another double shot coming your way today. Wunza Matrix trailer with computerized Muppets standing in for everybody...
...and wunza takeoff of V for Vendetta, prompted by the real-life revelation that Cookie Monster was going to start scarfing healthier foods.
A student of comedy could really go to town analyzing why these are funny. In the first, the familiarity of Matrix gets turned on its head by the Muppets' presence, while in the second, it's the Muppets' familiarity that gets a whole new spin. Yet in them both, the Muppets are a grounding presence, a conduit for the idea.
Or, as the Swedish Chef might say, "Un de hurr de hurr de hurr."
