A Muppet parody of those VH1 and E! specials detailing the rise and fall of bands, this time focusing on a villains from Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. There's also some subtle commentary about the new Kermit-free DVD release of Emmet Otter.
Oh God! I remember these guys from when they had an hour of Jim Henson crap on Nick at around noontime, and it's amazing I remember this stuff considering how long ago that was. Somehow, I just knew that they weren't going to get very far after the talent show.
The newest DVD of A Christmas Toy also has it's Kermit wraparounds snipped out.
I don't understand Disney's problem. I mean, they allow the the Sesame Street people to release their Kermit material on DVD and stream Kermit clips online. And this'll probably spell problems for Muppet Family Christmas when Disney gets around to re-releasing.
Wow, seems like there's a small group of us who've seen Emmet Otter! Looking at the comments, I feel kind of ashamed that I only first saw it with the DVD...
Jimminy H. Chrimmis, it's the RIVERBOTTOM NIGHTMARE BAND! I thought I was the only one who spent her childhood holidays rockin out to their bitchin' sound! Awesome illo. ;D
Robot Chicken did a similar "Behind the Music" thing about the Electric Mayhem band, but that was a tad too mean spirited in my opinion. This is funnier. And I agree that it sucks about the DVD, although Emmet Otter was never my favorite thing the Muppets did. Seeing Kermit introduce the special just made me want to see more of him. I didn't care as much about these other characters I'd never heard of, so the fact that he's been excised entirely makes it all the worse.
