YouTube has been alive with the murmurings of Muppets recently, and I’m not just speaking of the fan-made variety. Just about two weeks ago this clip of Beaker performing Beethoven’s “Ode To Joy” hit, and I was thrilled to see the inclusion of everyone’s favorite curmudgeonly critics, Statler and Waldorf.

To be honest, I’m not sure if these are old or not, but whatever the case I hope there is more.
