Jingle Bell Grok: Holiday Rude
Jingle Bell Grok: Holiday Rude
Dec 22Despite the overwhelming barrage of illness that has affected your Alert Nerd family (and our families) over the past week, we are committed to Jingle Bell Grok in the way that some people cannot commit to, say, Sparkle Motion. Yes, I just made a Donnie Darko reference – deal with it.
I was watching The Muppet Christmas Carol with my 15 month old niece this weekend when I noticed what may be the most incongruously awesome thing I have ever seen in my 30 years of Muppet-related viewing. Pay attention to the final seconds of this:
Thanks are due, by the way, to the awesome Jenelle Riley for pointing it out – I honestly would have missed it otherwise. I hope Alana missed it, too, or her mom will have yet another unfortunate behavior to blame me for.
Later today, SECRET GUEST POST #1. Start ‘bating that breath, Nerdians!
People try and tell me it’s just a coincidence but COME ON! Do you know what effort it must take to make a Muppet stick up one finger? And in Beaker speak, he’s clearly saying “EFF YOU, CAINE!”
True Story: Bunsen’s responsible for Beaker’s speech impediment because he’s too abrasive and abusive when he speaks normally.
I have never seen Muppet Christmas Carol. Tomorrow, I’m going out and buying it.
Thank you sir.
I’ve always found Muppet Christmas Carol to be by far the least of the Muppet films–this redeems it somewhat.
