VEVO News: On the Set with OK Go and The Muppets Page #2

---

- Sweet, sweet oil, see!" - People still talk like that?

Maybe that's just how he sounded in my head.

Either way, we've got to find Kermit!

He'll know what to do.

How do we find Kermit? Nobody's seen him in years.

Stop the car! I've got an idea!

Mmm.

These are delicious!

- Great idea, Walter. - Mm-hmm.

We've been doing this for a long time.

I think maybe we should call it a night.

- Guys! - We can't give up, Gary.

But it's getting really late. Maybe we

should just go back to the motel.

- Guys! - It...

- What? - What?

- Maybe he lives there. - Oh. That's it.

So, what do we do now?

I don't see a doorbell, and the house looks empty.

- Gary, throw me over. - What?

- Gary, just throw me over already! - OK.

- OK, here we go. OK... - One, two, three.

- That's good. - Sorry.

- No, it's good. - Guys?

I think that's an electric fence.

Mary, it's Kermit the Frog.

- OK, buddy, head down. - One, two, three!

- It's an electric fence. - Yep.

Oh, my gosh. Walter? Walter, buddy?

Walter, can you hear me?

- Throw me again. - No, I don't...

I don't think that's a good idea.

- What kind of throw was that? - I

think there's somebody coming.

Excuse me...

You OK? That was quite a tumble.

Oh. Look, look. I think...

Hey. Hey, Walter?

- Walter, you all right, buddy? - Where am I?

OK, this is awesome. We're at Kermit's house.

- Oh, jeez. Walter. - No, no, no, no, no. You OK?

This... This is Kermit's house?

Anyhow, how can I help you guys?

Let me just say, this is an honor

for all of us to meet you, sir,

but my brother, Walter, has some

really disturbing news for you.

- Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

- Not now, 80's Robot.

Might I offer you a drink? Tab?

- Good grief. - New Coke?

Listen. Not right now, 80's Robot, please!

Bummer.

- Watch out for the... - Gag me with a spoon.

- Yeah, head for the door. - Grody to the max.

Ow.

Ow.

I'm really sorry about that...

...Walter. What were you saying?

- Yes. Tex Richman, the oil baron, is... - Yes, yes, yes.

Oil baron Tex Richman, the wealthy philanthropist.

You know, he's about to buy our

old Muppet Show theater

and turn it into a Muppet museum. Isn't that great?

- No! I mean... - What Walter's trying to tell you

is that Tex Richman has a secret plan to

tear down the theater and drill for oil.

- What? - The only way to save the studio

is to raise ten million dollars.

Ten million dollars? That's impossible.

- But... - The only way to raise

that kind of money would be to...

...would be to put on a show.

And I haven't seen the old gang in a long, long time.

I guess people sort of forgot about us.

Hm?

I didn't do it. I've been framed! Ahh. Wocka wocka!

Gonzo the Great will ride this baby again!

Muah!

This legato tune is posolutely, most

transparently bringing me down.

- For sure. - One, two, and a half...

Well, it sounds like you guys aren't getting

back together anytime soon.

Mmm...

This is going to be a really short movie.

But, Kermit, you have to try.

I... The Muppets are amazing.

You give people the greatest

gift that can ever be given.

- Children? - No, the other gift.

- Ice cream? - No, no. After that.

- Laughter? - Yes!

The third greatest gift ever!

Kermit, your fans never left you,

the world hasn't forgotten.

All you need to do is show'em again!

Hmm.

I don't think so, guys.

Don't you see, Kermit?

It's time to play the music.

Please, Kermit.

You're my hero.

You're on my watch.

Well, I... I guess...

...we could try.

- We? - Well, yeah, listen.

If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna

need some moral support.

Well, that's perfect. We're experts at moral support.

- Yeah! - Good. I guess if we're gonna go,

we better get going. We got a lot of people to find.

Oh, great! But wait, how do we find'em?

Didn't you see our first movie?

We drive.

- So where do we go first? - I shall take the liberty

of using my modem to locate the Muppets.

- OK. - Great.

Oh, stop it!

In the name of all that's sacred, let it end!

R-E-N-O. That spells "Reno."

You have reached your destination.

My guidance ends here.

Well, I guess this is the place.

Good evening, folks, and welcome to Pechoolo Casino!

Not RVs

No marriage certificate is needed

Cha-cha-cha!

Thank you, thank you. We'll be back in six minutes.

Hmm.

- Hi-ho, Fozzie. - Hi-ho, Kermit.

Kermit? What are you doing here?

Well, I... I just want to tell you that was a great show.

It was... very informative.

I do my best to keep it fresh each night.

- Oh, yeah. - Oh, I'm Fozzie, by the way.

Oh, I'm sorry. This is Gary and Mary.

And this here is Walter. He's a personal friend.

- Yeah. - So I said, "What are you looking at?"

So I punched him in the face! I mean...

- Let's talk in my dressing room. - Sure.

- OK. - Here we are.

Make yourselves at home.

Wow.

This is not quite what I expected,

- based on your Christmas cards.

- Oh, yeah. About that...

Oh, but it's nice, and... and airy.

Maybe we should give them some space.

I know, but I wanna hear what they're gonna say. OK.

Sixty-four shows nightly can get pretty grueling.

Fozzie, an evil oil baron wants to

tear down our old Muppet studio.

What? Oh, no!

I mean, that's a shame.

Step out of the vehicle!

Hey, Fozzie...

I'm sorry I haven't been in touch more.

It's fine, Kermit. Look at me! Living the dream!

Uh-oh.

Oh, no! Not this again!

- Quick, save the cushions! - The cushions?

I'm sorry, Fozzie.

If I'd known you were here in this place...

That's all right, Kermit. It's not your fault.

- We had a good run. - Yeah.

Yeah, it's just that...

Well, we haven't seen each other

in a really long time, and I...

I just thought maybe we could raise

the money to buy the theater back

if we all got together and put on one last show.

A show? But I've spent years building a solo career.

I have a whole new show-biz family that loves me.

Fozzie! What the heck are you doing, hibernating?

Next show starts in 30 seconds.

We hired you, and we can fire you,

so get your butt in here now!

- They terrify me. Let's go. - Let's go.

- Watch out for the forklift, Fozzie. - Oh, thanks.

Wow! Gonzo's doing really well!

According to 80's Robot,

he's the richest plumbing magnate in the Rust Belt.

You! Order 28,000 tons of plumber's

putty from Beijing.

- Right away, sir. - And, you, send the 28,000 tons

of Silly Putty back to Beijing.

- You bet. - Oh, and you?

A memo to the waterless toilet department.

I don't care about the mess, just keep trying.

- Hi, Gonzo. - Kermit? Fozzie? This is a surprise.

- We need to speak to you. - All right. Have a seat.

Ah. Thank you!

- I think I'll stand. - No, really,

you should try one! Comfy.

It's our executive line of used toilets.

Anyway, I'm very busy. I've got 30 seconds. Go.

Uh... Gonzo, I'm not quite sure how to say this, but...

Don't forget to mention the evil oil baron.

Yes, Fozzie, I was about to. Just

give me a moment, OK?

Gonzo, it would appear...

Remember, evil oil baron.

Fozzie, I'm going to get to that. Please!
