Time for Breaking Prawn!! (get it?) - The Final, Final, Final Muppet Parody Trailer

 

"A Night out the movies would have been nice..and then the Muppets had to go out and ruin it." - Statdler and Waldorf

I am very glad that this final Muppet Parody trailer is dropping. Partly because while I love the parodies, it's time to get on with the movie and other part is because...well, it's time to get on with the damn movie.

To say I am eager about this film is an obvious understatement as readers of this site know, I love me these Muppets something fierce.

So far, all the marketing has been exemplary. The frenzy that it has whipped up has made everyone a believer and should translate well into box office numbers.

This latest and last trailer definitely brings it. We get parodies of Twilight, Puss In Boots, Happy Feet, a pretty awesome Paranormal Activity one and the best one of all, a parody of its own parody trailer.

You still with me?

Well on to the trailer.
(btw..how brilliant is Kermit's reaction at the very end?)

Listen to the full Muppets Tribute Album - Muppets:The Green Album on NPR

In advance of the Muppets movie coming out this fall, an album has been put together where artists from today cover some of the most beloved songs that have played over the years on the show and the movies.

Some of the covers are pretty interesting and some are just weird. Weezer does a pretty good job with 'Rainbow Connection' and the Fray do Mahna Mahna very well. OK GO's version of the Muppet theme is a bit wonky for me however it is still a bit of a thrill to heard these songs re-interpreted for youth today.

Head over to NPR where you can stream the whole album. It is definitely worth the time and is a great listen.

thanks to @randeepk for the heads-up.
