Free Range by Bill Whitehead for January 27, 2023

They were thrown out of their “hotel” for indecent “muppetry”.

Uh-oh. They’ve targeted you.

Slappy Squirrel sez: “Now that’s comedy!”

Whitehead isn’t the only one who can hijack another franchise!

It’s a classic gag, at least as far back as vaudeville or burlesque, if not Shakespeare or even Chaucer. Two old men, observers/hecklers, who are often funnier than the heckle-ee.

maybe they’ve gone too far

Statler and Waldorf were my favorites on that show.

Those two are the best !

Now I’ll have this song from “The Muppet Christmas Carol” stuck in my head all day… ☺

We’re Marley and Marley

Averous and greed

We took advantage of the poor

Just ignored the needy

We specialized in causing pain

Spreading fear and doubt

And if you could not pay the rent

We simply threw you out

We’re Marley and Marley

Our hearts were painted black

We should have known our evil deeds

would put us both in shackles

Captive, bound, we’re double-ironed,

exhausted by the weight

As freedom comes from giving love, so prison comes with hate

We’re Marley and Marley… Whoooooo

We’re Marley and Marley… Whoooooo

Doomed, Scrooge! You’re doomed for all time.

Your future is a horror story

Your chains are forged by what you say and do

So, have your fun. When life is done a nightmare waits for you

We’re Marley and Marley… Whoooooo

We’re Marley and Marley… whooooo

Change!

I would say give them a hand but they were too strung up; or the old stick up the but keeps the lips flapping

So … where’s today’s real comic?

This took me 13 seconds to read, counting the comments.

Hee hee Ho Ho ha ha‼️☺️

Statler and Waldorf, the Walter of Muppet Land.

Self awareness is the beginning of wisdom (or so “they” say)

Another good one

Self depreciating, to be sure, but clever!

Is the stage show so boring they’ve tuned it out tonight?

Speak for yourself.

As Peter Griffin from Family Guy said about Statler and Waldorf :" They don’t care for most things."

My Grandfather loved these guys!

Don’t castrate yourself Bill… – oops castigate…

Awesome homage.
