The 'Fifty Shades of Muppets' Parody Is Pretty Gonzo
Fozzie would be appalled.
People can't resist making "Fifty Shades of Grey" parody videos, and they are usually better than the movie itself. But the Muppets? So wrong. And yet so right. A YouTuber called Darth Blender created a 2-minute "Fifty Shades of Muppets" video, using clips from Muppets movies that eerily fit the dialogue and themes of "Fifty Shades." The parody has slowly gone viral in the past week, earning thousands of views, and several comments noting, "That should have been titled 'Fifty Shades of GREEN'! " Fair point.
Watch the parody:
Our childhoods! It's not like we didn't know Kermit and Miss Piggy were a thing, but ... we kind of liked the innocent version in our heads. Some viewers expressed disgust with the video, others disappointment that it wasn't dirtier (that might be Animal commenting over and over), and still others have requested a full movie version.
Sadly, Sam the Eagle was right about us. We are all weirdos.
Meanwhile, the real "Fifty Shades" sequel, "Fifty Shades Darker," is due in theaters February 10, 2017.
