Puppets are outdated entertainment technology. As are circuses, carousel wheels and mimes*

Is you avatar not Benny Hill? History's greatest circus/carousel/mime if I'm not mistaken! If not I got to bring up Benny Hill!

I am afraid of future entertainment technology. Afraid someone will think a robot mime is a good idea. Nay you say? It just takes one mad mad nerd with a penchant for silent clowns. Westworld (Frankenstein/terminator same difference) should be required watching for the architects of the future!

No, its not Benny Hill, he's an old school parish pump politician over here whose face makes me laugh. Maybe I'm closer to the Muppets than I suspect???

I'm all for robot puppets actually so long as you're allowed shoot at them from the stalls. We could call it interactive fiction and charge by the rifle round.

Trivia question: What is the link between Benny Hill and The Muppets?

Henceforth KinchBlade shall be known as either Statler or Waldorf .

I know you were kiding about your question, but this is actually a good movie about the man behind the strings. Being Elmo

Say what you like about The Muppets, you can't say they didn't ROCK!!

Har, having seen the that, the prosecution rests

Trivia question: What is the link between Benny Hill and The Muppets?

I would guess something to do with the music? I was going to say "Yackity Sax", but I don't think that was on the muppet show. Maybe it's just that 70s style, but the horn sections seem very similar.

EDIT-another cool muppets video. You cats have me looking them up and getting all nostalgic. I remember watching it as a kid. This is fun

I love the Muppet's i think that they have something to offer every kind of audience something to laugh about from little kids to adults like me that like to act well(less than my age >< ) and for people that are older than me as well , i truly believe that if you can not find anything funny about the Muppet's than well maybe your not looking hard enough 8P


Have you heard the Cabin Fever song ? its very funny 8D

Cake's "Mahna Mahna" would make a great addition to RS!

The song is generational. Benny Hill, Muppet's, Cake!
