Waldorf: Just when you think this feud is terrible something wonderful happens. Statler: What? Waldorf: It ends. Statler and Waldorf for the win. ---

How can Statler and Waldorf be winning this? I mean, I voted for 'em the entire way and all… but seriously. All the muppets, and we come out with these two? > [@](#): > > I think I’m going to confuse the gun nuts and make a bumpersticker that says > > “This car insured by Statler & Waldorf” Count me as one gun-nut who would totally buy that bumper sticker. ---

I thought for sure when we got to them and Cookie Monster that Cookie would win it. Who doesn’t love the big blue guy? I do love S&W, but…they’re not my absolute faves. ---

**S&W** for the win… CM sold out when he went on a Diet… ---

1. Statler & Waldorf Holy crap, I’ve been pinning for them to win since round 1 since they’re the first fictional characters I remember really taking a liking to when I was a kid, but I didn’t really think it’d actually happen!!! ---

I do hope it’s understood that the total number of votes for Statler & Waldorf will be divided by two because there are two of them vs. just one Cookie Monster. Fair’s fair. ---

COOOOOOKIEEEEEE!!! I have a Cookie Monster hand puppet, courtesy an old high school friend of mine, who used to reduce me to helpless laughter simply by making CM’s eyes wiggle at me. ---

Statler and Waldorf. It’s tough, but they were always my faves growing up. ---
