VEVO News: On the Set with OK Go and The Muppets

---

That's me, Walter.

Where... Where'd you go? Oh, there you are!

I have the best life in the whole world.

That's my brother, Gary.

He's the best friend you could ever have.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking.

We could be twins.

Smalltown...

...the best town you could ever grow up in.

Gary and I did everything together.

And, as the years passed, my brother

was always there for me.

I got it! Gary, throw me! Throw me!

Aaah!

We were a great team.

- Nice job, Walter. - Thanks, Gary.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It's not perfect.

- That was so fun! - Nothing is.

Sorry, kid.

- I wanna do that again! - Come on. I'll ride with ya!

Hurry up!

Even the sunniest days can have a few clouds in them.

Ride's bogus, anyway. Hey, wanna rent a video?

Yeah. Race you home!

And, well, that night sorta changed everything.

It's The Muppet Show, with our very

special guest star, Mr. Steve Martin!

I found them...

...The Muppets.

I guess you could say I was their number one fan.

Oh, Gary, it's an entire map of The Muppet Studios.

And they made all the difference.

- Trick or treat! - Because from then on...

- Hey, guys. - Oh, hey, Gary.

- Hey. - Hi-ho, guys. Yay!

Is that Kermit the Frog? What is this, 1978?

... even on the worst days, I knew...

...that as the years passed...

Cancel that last remark.

... as long as there are singing

frogs and joking bears...

...Swedish chefs and boomerang fish,

the world can't be such a bad place after all.

All right, good night, buddy.

Oh, good night, Gary.

And as long as there are Muppets...

- ...for me... - ... hair-growing tonic.

...there's still...

...hope.

Aaah. Bye-bye!

Somebody get him!

Animal. Hey, Animal, come on.

The show's about to start.

Show! Show!

Hey, Walter, why don't you join us?

Come on!

No! Wait! I want to be with you guys! Please let me in!

Kermit!

Whoa!

Walter, are you OK, buddy?

You're drenched in sweat. Did

you have the dream again?

Ummm. No. Hey, so when are you guys leaving today?

Oh, um, just a couple hours now.

Oh, wow, Gary, I think it is so cool

you're taking Mary to Los Angeles.

I can't believe you guys have

been dating for ten years.

I know. Yeah, she wanted to do something

special for this anniversary,

and she's always wanted to see Los Angeles, so...

Hey, don't forget to send me a postcard

from The Muppet Studios.

Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.

- I can't do that, Walter. - But, Gary...

Because... you're coming with us!

Oh, Gary!

- But what about Mary? - She's fine.

- She said the more the merrier.

- I... I don't know what to say!

The Muppet Studios are there,

Gary. I can't believe this!

Better get a move on. We don't want to miss that bus!

No way! Who knows? Maybe Kermit will be there.

I wouldn't get your hopes up, buddy.

The Muppets haven't put on a show together in years.

I don't think they use the studios

for anything but tours anymore.

Nah, I think that's just an Internet rumor.

Like there's a country called Turkey.

Walter, how many times do we have to go over this?

- Turkey is a very real country.

- Wow, Muppet Studios.

I can't believe it!

Whoooa!

With someone to paint

Life's a piece of cake

And someone to brake

With someone to saw

Life's a happy song

With someone to give

Life's a piece of pie

And someone to dry

With someone beside you

Life is full of highs

And someone to fry

Oooh...

Sorry. I was super excited.

All right, Carlos. Flip the ignition.

And that is how you fix a 12-volt starter.

Oh!

You know what that means. Spring break.

It's OK. We'll be back to studying in two weeks.

Yay!

- Have a nice vacation. - Bye. Have fun.

- Bye, Mr. Gary. - Have a good break, guys.

- Hey, great job, Carlos. - Thanks.

Enjoy your anniversary dinner.

- Hi. - I got you these.

Oh. Sorry. It's probably from the

dance number I was doing.

It's OK. They're really sweet.

You excited for our big trip to LA? I have our list.

Me, too.

Oh, this is the most romantic thing ever.

I've always dreamt of seeing Los Angeles.

I know. Walter can't wait either.

You don't mind that he's coming, right?

No. No, of course not.

As long as we can spend our anniversary

dinner together. That's all I ask.

Totally. It's gonna be the most romantic

anniversary dinner ever.

I love you so much.

Oh.

- I love you, too. - I'm gonna go check on Walter.

Oh...

OK, they're gone!

Hey, Gary, what should we do first at Muppet Studio?

'Cause I was thinking that maybe we

could start at Fozzie's Joke Room...

Oh, no, wait, wait, wait.

The lines might be shorter at Honeydew's

Laboratory of Fun,

so maybe we should start there instead.

I just... I just can't wait!

Oh, Walter, don't be nervous.

Oh, I know. I just can't believe I'm here.

The home of the Muppets!

What... What happened to this place?

Where...?

- Where is everyone, Gary? - I

don't know, buddy. It's so...

OK, well, I guess you guys are it for today.

Anyway, welcome to the original Muppet Studio,

where dreams can come true.

- Is this the Universal Studios? - Yes, it is.

OK, now if you'll just follow me, please.

OK. This used to be Kermit's office.

- Whoa. - Mm-hmm.

It's really the highlight of the tour.

You should see it sometime.

OK, this next building is where they kept the rope

and the medium-gauge wire for the

productions. Let's go take a look.

Come on, buddy.

Wow!

Oh, boy.

Oh.

Whoa.

There. Now this here is Kermit the Frog's old office.

Or so we've been "toad."

Well, as you know, gentlemen, I've loved

the Muppets since I was a boy.

And what better way to honor the Muppets

than to make this beautiful studio a Muppet museum.

I think I'll call this room

the "Kermit the Frog's Old Office Room."

- Oh, that is lovely. - Oh, good one, Mr. Richman.

Now, this here is the standard

"Rich and Famous" contract

Kermit signed 30 years ago, that contains...

- The deed to this property. - Exactly.

Now, this contract is 100 percent ironclad,

with one minor exception.

If the Muppets can raise the ten

million dollars it would cost

to buy the building before this contract expires,

- then they get their studio back. -

You know, if I didn't know better,

I'd say you were reciting some

sort of an important plot point.

Well, I hope so. Otherwise, I just

bored the audience half to death.

You mean half the audience is still alive?

It's nice doing business with you.

- Yes, sir. Come on. - Goodbye.

I love geriatric humor.

Gentlemen, there's oil under this studio.

Yeah, I can smell it.

And more importantly, the geological

survey says there definitely is.

In two weeks, we tear this place to the ground

and start drilling. Ah, those Muppets.

They think they're so funny.

Well, it looks like the joke's about to be on them.

Maniacal laugh.

Maniacal laugh.

Maniacal laugh. Maniacal laugh.

Maniacal laugh.

- Walter! - Walter?

- Walter! - Walter!

Yeah, so then, when he thought

they were alone, he said,

"There's oil under this studio, see.

I'm gonna tear it to the ground, see.
