After smashing the competition in round after round, Statler & Waldorf finally had to fight for a victory… and they got it, squeezing out #1 seed Kermit the Frog by three votes. Cookie Monster had an easier time, disposing of Rowlf 33 to 14. The duo that performed “I hope that somethin’ better comes along” in the original Muppet Movie is gone. So, now, the finals. It’s Snark vs. Snickerdoodle. Cast your vote! I’ll leave this final round open for one week. 1. Cookie Monster vs 4. Statler & Waldorf ---

I love me some Cookie Monster. But I gotta go with\*\* S&W\*\*. “I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t watched it.” “Believe what?” “I don’t know, I wasn’t watching!” ---

Yanno, I lost a lot of respect for Cookie Monster when he bowed to the nutritition nazis and allowed as a cookies-only diet might not be ideal. Effin’ sell-out. Gotta go for the snark: Statler and Waldorf ---
