VEVO News: On the Set with OK Go and The Muppets Page #3

---

- As I was trying to say... - Evil oil baron.

OK, time's up. Thank you, guys.

Gonzo, we're trying to get the

old gang back together again.

- We really need you. - My answer is no. Good day!

Come on, guys. We should go.

I just want to say, when I was

a kid, I saw you recite Hamlet

while jumping your motorbike through

a flaming hoop, and...

...it made me feel like I could do anything.

Thank you. Yeah.

- Good try, Walter. - Hey, guys, up here!

- Ya-haa! - Huh?

I've been wearing this under my

suit every single day for years!

Look out below!

Whoa, where you going? You threw me off-balance!

I can't see! Apollo 13!

Citizens of Earth, the Great Gonzo is back.

I pledge never to hold a plunger again!

Run! Run! Run for your lives! Run, run, run!

- Run, guys! - Run!

Oh, my gosh, run everybody!

It's gonna be big! It's gonna be a big one!

Wow! That was an expensive looking explosion!

I can't believe we had that in the budget.

So maybe if you look inside yourself,

the person you should be most angry at is you.

Is you.

How have you been feeling? Any more control issues?

In control.

- Good. - Psst. Animal!

- Excellent. - It's me, Kermit.

Hey, we're having a meeting here, man.

You're being really rude, frog!

Pardon us, please. Animal, I need

to talk to you for a second.

We're getting the Muppets back together.

We need you to drum again.

- Animal drum? - Yes!

- Please, sir. - Drum! Drum, drum!

- Drum, drum, drum! - OK, OK.

- In control. - Good.

I'm Animal's court-appointed sponsor.

We don't use the "d-r-u-m" word.

- It's his trigger word. - His trigger word?

Excuse me, Mr. Black. I'm so sorry to interrupt,

but it's very important to these guys

that they get their drummer...

Gary!

It's my trigger word, too.

Jack, we talked about this on Tuesday.

Tuesday's another one of my trigger words!

Oh, I don't think so!

Sorry.

- Let's go, Animal. - Bye-bye!

- Animal, heel. - Go, Animal! Be free, man!

But remember! No drumming!

Mr. Kermit, may I suggest we save time and pick up

the rest of the Muppets using a montage?

Great idea, 80's Robot.

We greatly appreciate your financial support.

Eighty-seven point three miles to

go. Eighty-seven point two...

...the secrets of the universe...

I guess we're in.

Welcome to this week's edition of "Everything Stinks."

Whoa!

Bye, Lisa. Off to the TED Conference.

Three, two, one.

Think we should've rented a bigger car?

Hey, wait for me! I wanna help save the studio!

I wanna go with you! Oh, not again.

Wow. I can't believe we're all back together.

Even all you guys who weren't in the montage!

Yeah, how come you didn't use me in the montage?

I thought my story was pretty interesting.

Rowlf? Wanna get back together?

- OK. - Good.

Classic.

Anyhow, looks like we got everybody,

so we can plan our telethon and

raise that ten million dollars.

- Well, not everybody. - No, I think everybody's here.

- Where's...? - All good!

- Miss... - All done here!

Piggy?

Kermit, we're going to get Miss Piggy, right?

OK, OK, OK, you're right. We'll go get Piggy!

My Minitel tells me she is in Paris, France.

Oh! Well, then we drive to France.

- You can't drive to France, Walter.

- Yeah. It's way too far.

Then maybe we should travel by map!

- Good idea, Fozzie. - Yeah!

To Paris!

Paris! Paris!

Look at these ceilings!

Yeah. They must be very tall here.

Yeah, very nice.

Uh... Hi there. Excuse me.

Miss? Pardon me, ma'am?

Hi there! We're here to see Miss Piggy, and it's urgent.

Urgent! Urgent!

- Is it urgent? - Very. Yes.

Let's have a look then, shall we?

She has an opening in...

- ...early September. - Early September?

That's like six months from now!

That's nothing. Once I waited

a whole year for September.

She is the plus-size editor. She's

a huge deal and extremely busy.

You can't just pop in without an appointment.

- OK, then. - Thank you.

- All right. - Mean lady.

- Close the door on your way out. - Thanks a lot.

- She wasn't very nice. - Yeah.

Guys! Muppet Man!

- Yeah! - That could work!

Hello.

I have an appointment.

Oh, OK.

Um...

Will you wait here a moment?

Decisions, decisions.

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo. I choose you.

Mademoiselle Cochonnet?

- Can't you see I'm busy? - Of course.

There's a... man here to see you.

He does have an appointment.

An appointment? That's weird.

Well, why didn't you say so? Send him in!

Right away. Sorry.

- Ahahaha. - Remember, left foot, right foot.

Hello.

Whoa.

- What the...? - Sorry.

That looked expensive.

- You look familiar. - So do you!

Please, have a seat.

Yes, we're going to have a seat now.

- No, no, no, don't sit down! - Oh, sorry! Whoa!

Uh-oh.

Message to head. Left leg in trouble!

Going down. Left leg going down!

What?

Ohh!

I can't believe I fell for Muppet Man.

- You guys OK? - Is anyone hurt?

Kermit?

- Hello, Piggy. - Kermie!

Oh, Kermie, Kermie, Kermie, Kermie, Kermie,

Kermie, Kermie, Kermie, Kermie!

Mm, mm, mm. Kissy-kissy. Mm, mm, mm!

Wait! What am I doing? I promised

myself I'd never go back!

I am woman! I am strong! You must leave at once!

- OK. - No, no, wait, wait!

Miss Piggy! The Muppet Studios are in danger.

In danger? Our studios? Kermit!

It's true, Piggy. And we need to

do The Muppet Show again.

We need you.

Oh.

Before I decide anything, I need to talk with you, frog.

Alone.

Piggy? Last time we were together,

I said some things I regret.

No. No, Kermit. You were just being honest.

You never intended to marry me.

Not even after I built us a house

where we could raise tadpoles and grow old together.

Well, who do you think's been looking

after that house all these years, huh?

Piggy, why do you have to always

be so overdramatic about things?

You know, it leaves me no choice

but to do things that hurt you.

I am who I am. Why can't you accept that about me?

Look, this is not about you and me.

It's never about you and me, is it?

It's always we. We this, we that.

"We" need you. You can't even

say, "I need you," can you?

Piggy...

I'm sorry, Kermit, but I have a life here.

A life I've made for myself.

Piggy!

Just remember, Kermit, I cannot be replaced.

Kermit? What happened? Where's Miss Piggy?

She's not coming, Fozzie.

But, Kermit, we always worked together.

We can't do this without Miss Piggy.

No one will give us a show without her.

We'll be fine, Fozzie.

We'll be fine.

We just...

We'll just have to come up with something else.

Kermie.

OK, I've got an idea. We need a pig that can sing.

But, Kermit, who could possibly replace Miss Piggy?

Hey, what's everybody so quiet about, huh?

- Well, she's sorta like Miss Piggy.

- Come on, everybody.

Let's go pitch our telethon and get

the Muppets back on TV, OK?

- No. - No.

Oh, my goodness! Oh, that's wonderful!

That means no.

- Come on, guys. - Awkward.

Listen, Kermit, I like you.

I remember you guys from when I was a kid.

So I'm gonna shoot straight.

You guys aren't famous anymore.
