VEVO News: On the Set with OK Go and The Muppets Page #4

---

I wish she'd shot a little more curvy.

Take a look at this diagram the

research department drew up.

This circle represents everything

that's currently popular.

And this tiny speck is you guys.

So the answer's no. It's not gonna happen.

Take a look at the shows that are

popular now. Punch Teacher.

- Oh! I love that show. - It's time to punch teacher!

- Finish him! - It's my favorite.

I just thought I could make a difference.

I'm sorry, but in this market, you guys are

no longer relevant. Have a good day.

Before I go, I'd just like to say something.

I think kids are smarter and better

than all this junk, and if you...

Veronica, bad news. Punch Teacher

has stopped production.

It's being sued by the Teachers Society of America.

- What's their problem? - No idea. I just found out.

What are we supposed to do with

that 120-minute black hole

in the schedule coming up in two days?

OK, Muppets. You've got yourselves a show.

- All right! - Oh, yes!

Thank you so much. You will not

be sorry, I promise, I promise!

OK, enough! One, no more going nuts

in my office. These are new carpets.

- Yes, ma'am. - And two, you need a celebrity host.

OK. Whatever, whatever. Come

on, guys, let's go. Yeah!

- Let me wipe that. - You've missed a spot.

- I don't see it. - Just a little lower!

- Oh, I am so sorry. Did I get you... - Yes.

Well, gentlemen. It appears we have some competition

on the Muppet property.

The Economist says they've

gotten back together again.

- The Muppets got back together? - Remember?

Gentlemen, please! No singing in my office!

- Yes, sir. - But, of course, it was all his fault.

- Mostly his fault. - No matter.

Point is, that studio and that oil belong to me.

Yeah, those Muppets are gonna be

running home with their tails between their legs.

Some of'em literally. Because those ones have tails.

Maniacal laugh, maniacal laugh.

That's a maniacal laugh moment.

OK, this is it. 80's Robot, let's park around back.

It's The Muppet Show,

with our special guest star, Mr. Bob Hope!

Time once again for Veterinarian's Hospital,

the continuing story of...

And now, Pigs in Space!

Gary. Can you believe it?

- The Muppet theater. - Yeah.

- Welcome back, everyone. - Thanks.

Well, I know the old place is not

quite at its best right now.

Yeah! Who cancelled the maid service?

But don't worry. We'll be fine.

Kermit, there's no way we can rehearse

with the place like this.

Wait. Kermit, don't say another word.

Mary, Walter and I, well, we would be

happy to help you rebuild the theater.

Honestly, it would be an honor for all three of us.

- So would. - OK. Well, let's clean this place up!

Yeah!

- This is boring. - But don't you guys remember?

You're the Muppets! You do this to music!

Well, all right!

- Hey, Animal! - Yeah?

Look what I found!

- Beauregard! - Scooter! Good to see you!

Where's everybody been?

Celebrity... celebrity!

Hello! Yes. Could I speak with

President Carter, please?

He moved? Well, you don't happen to have

a number where I could reach... Hello?

Walter, I thought we were gonna clean the balcony.

- Doing a great job, pal. - You're doing a great job.

- Wocka wocka. - Hey, guys!

Look at these old photos I just found.

Oooh.

Can you believe that 80's haircut I used to have?

I looked totally ridiculous!

Yes, it's Kermit. The frog.

Could you come to our celebrity telethon this weekend?

Sure. Sure, I understand.

- Hey, shut the door! - What is that?

Say hello to the little friend.

There goes dinner.

Wow! Great job, everybody!

Oh, hey, Kermit. Listen, have a great night,

and I just want you to know, Walter

and I are really good sewers,

so we'll have those costumes ready for you in no time.

- Good. You two have a great night. - OK. Thank you!

- Bye. - Kermit?

Gary, I was kind of hoping that we

could go to the beach tomorrow

- or see the Hollywood Sign. - We'll have plenty of time

to do that stuff. It's just, right now,

I don't wanna leave Walter. You know, he needs me.

I don't know, sweetheart, he seems pretty happy.

- Like that. - Oh, OK.

Now you.

Yeah, that's it! Yeah, yeah, good job!

Well, just one more day, OK? And then I'm all yours.

Tell you what. Why don't you get a head

start on sightseeing tomorrow,

and then I'll be waiting for you when you get back.

OK. Just... don't forget about me.

Never.

Well, we're still on for dinner Friday, right?

Yeah, of course.

- Oh, Walter! - Oh, yes, Kermit.

Hey, listen, Walter, I just wanna tell you

that none of this would have happened

without you, so thank you.

- Oh, well... - And welcome aboard.

Night, everybody. Just sleep anywhere

you can find a spot.

"Welcome aboard"?

Hey, Kermit. You awake?

- Yep. - What's the weather

- supposed to be like tonight? - I don't know. Why?

I just don't want it to rain through

the hole in the ceiling.

Stars sure are pretty, though.

We're gonna be OK, right? We haven't

done this in a long time,

and I really don't wanna go back to Reno.

Don't worry, Fozzie. We'll be fine.

Look how we cleaned this place up today, you know?

Same old team, all pulling together.

I guess you're right. Night-night, Kermit.

Good night, Fozzie.

OK, gather round, troops! Everybody,

time to get this rehearsal going.

- Scooter, is everybody here? - Almost everyone, chief.

- Yeah... - Hey, anybody got any kerosene?

I wanna take these old pig dresses

out back and burn'em.

Hold it right there, sausage snout!

- Piggy? - Huh?

Well, look what the cat dragged in.

Come on. Keep it up, Maurice.

Sorry, Miss Piggy, but you've been

replaced... permanently.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah!

I don't think so... sister?

Who you calling sister, sister?

- Oh, look, an omelet station! - Oh, where?

Hiya!

There's only one Miss Piggy, and she is moi.

Yeah, well, you ain't seen the last of me! I'll be back!

Yeah, yeah. Heard of mouthwash?

Welcome back, Miss Piggy.

All right, all right, don't crowd me!

Wow, she sure hasn't changed.

Piggy? You came back.

I'm not here for you, Kermit. I'm here for them.

And, besides, when this show's done,

I'm catching the next plane back to my life in Paris.

OK, Piggy, OK. Places for the

opening number, everybody!

Oh, good morning, Veronica.

- Morning, Frog. - OK, everybody, take it from the top.

Oooh!

- You missed your cue. - I know!

There's kind of a rhythm to this, you know?

Uh... Oh, and if you like that one, what's

the bear capital of the world?

Mos-cow!

Ha.

Hey guys, stop. Cut, cut, cut,

cut, cut. What's the problem?

We can't keep time without the

drums, man! We need drums!

- Sorry, Animal. - No drums! No drums!

- Jack Black said no drums! - Animal, heel! Sit!

- Who's next? Oh. - In control.

- Hey, Walter? - Oh. Yes, Kermit?

You think you might wanna help us out here?

Maybe do something in the show?

Kermit, you know, you've been so nice to me,

but I have to face the facts. See,

the Muppets are so talented...

Hey, guys, check it out! Fart shoes!
