As this is written, we are hours away from Thanksgiving.
And with Thanksgiving comes Christmas.
And to get you into the Christmas spirit, comes an animated video set to a bit by Patton Oswalt about the most horrible holiday song of all time…“Christmas Shoes”.
If you’re working today, this most likely is your Friday, so click play, and chuckle away in your cube.
As a child, the first deaths I really remember effecting me were not that of a family member or friend, as those came later. Instead, it was the deaths of Jim Henson and Freddie Mercury that really made me understand loss.
In the case of Mercury, growing up with my parents influence of listening to Queen, seeing the spectacle of his memorial concert made me realize the impact one could have in passing. With Henson, having grown up watching Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, it was as if an entire part of my life had been shut off. Suffice to say, as a kid, it really sorta blew my mind.
So, yesterday, the 18th anniversary of Mercury’s death, a video was released onto YouTube which was absolutely transcendent.
One of the first videos appearing as a part of The Muppets new YouTube channel, possibly giving the internet generation their first taste of the classic characters, mixes “Bohemian Rhapsody” and the Muppets. And I think you can understand why I got goosebumps.
Click play, and enjoy.

Say what you will about Family Guy‘s output since their return from cancellation years ago, but their tribute to Star Wars: A New Hope, Blue Harvest was absolutely hysterical.
That said, I am very excited for their homage to The Empire Strikes Back, titled Something Something Something Darkside.
Due to hit blu-ray and DVD on December 22nd, and then airing on TV later, if this trailer is any indication, it should be as good as Blue Harvest. At least, I hope so, as they’ve already planned their Return of the Jedi spoof, to be titled We Have A Bad Feeling About This.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
