Some pretty cool things have happened at ToughPigs in the 14 years I’ve been here, but this might just be the coolest.

At last! The Muppet story everyone’s talking about today!

Look, I’m just saying, if they were really committed to a Spielberg Summer, they would’ve renamed the place “The Sugar-Land Express.”

So this is how I spent my morning. This didn't make the final cut, but it was a personal favorite of mine.

Well, you can always go with this…

The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)

Depluralize a movie: One Battle

Guess I better buy my Lightning Lane now.

The (dark) magic is back!

Show somebody who absolutely rocks a hat and isn't Indiana Jones.

Please… don’t make me have to get a “Proud NYU Alum” t-shirt.

Today’s the day! You can watch the special and form your own opinions, but if you want some help, you can read some of mine!

I schedule out my posts weeks in advance, so they’re not exactly timely, but if you want to make this relevant to today’s main topic in the Muppet fan world, feel free to replace “Gonzo” with a certain puppeteer’s name.

“Well, they certainly seem to be having a good time, Sprocket. Yeah, I like it when they have a good time. But I tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about these dishes, Sprocket. C’mon, I’ll wash and you dry, okay?” Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Finally, society is ready to start talking openly about the Bus Driver Dance.

You all remember how upset folks got when Green Book won Best Picture? That’s how I felt about Anora.

Look, this is a good opening, but for the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, how did we not open with a parody of “99 Luftballons?” (And yes, I do know what the original song’s about.)

What color are their hands now, Charlie Brown?

As if that’s ever stopped her before.

That’s easy. That’s George Stephanopoulos!

Please help if you can!

If you see this post egg

Whassup Muppet folks! Join me and the lovely people at @toughpigs.com for a Muppet sketchfest jam panel at NYCC! 4.15 in room 406.1! Wearing appropriate shirt!

Oh, was that today?

Slightly diminish a band “Somewhat Peculiar Al” Yankovic

Still my all-time favorite game theme song…

Midnight Madness! Disney’s answer to National Lampoon’s Animal House.

What if Lou Gehrig hadn’t gotten sick? If he’s healthy, he gets his 500th home run by the end of 1939, and likely reaches 3,000 hits before he turns 40. I truly believe he would’ve been the first player to reach both milestones.

Sitting in front of my computer now so I can be the first in line again.

Favorite memories? -The Room live in NYC. -Seeing Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny in the theater with my unsuspecting brother. -“Resignations on the Whizzo set were rarely typewritten.” -The Jesters. They’re everywhere and everyone. -Winning a RiffTrax beach ball! -Finally getting a riff of Cats.

You know the ice cream place is going to be good when they use the classic EPCOT font.

My Fantastic Four

I once held a bathroom door open for Tony Hendra.

Easily in the top five ToughPigs memories for me, maybe even top three. He could’ve just kept walking, but he took the time to thank us for coming, and that was really touching.

Road trip!

name a film everyone loves except you At the risk of alienating a significant portion of my friends… The Lord of the Rings trilogy (I don’t hate them, they just don’t do it for me.)

Watching the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. Somehow, heartburn feels good in a place like this.
