Most days we’re disgruntled, annoyed, frustrated, and peeved – so imagine our thrill when we met someone else who is too! Congratulations to our new favorite grump
@brettgoldstein
on his second
#Emmys
win in a row!
Twitter reminds us a lot of The Muppet Show. There are 280 characters, constant nonsense going on, and no matter how much we want to, we can't bring ourselves to leave!
Some folks are surprised to find out that we're performers ourselves. You think we just heckle performances because we're snobs? No! It's because we know we could do it better!
We may like the day after Christmas more than the day itself. There are no carols, there's no work to do, and there's no family left in the house – those are the greatest gifts of all!
It's terrible! Just awful! The worst news you've ever heard! All five seasons of The Muppet Show are coming to
#DisneyPlus
TOMORROW! Lock yourselves away so you can't watch it – trust us!
This year, we made a resolution not to heckle anyone. We made it about 37 seconds past midnight before we started heckling the performers on TV. Maybe next year!
Have you ever had one of those days when every little thing annoys you? If so, congratulations: You're on your way to becoming a certified curmudgeon. Furrow your brow, shake your head, and get ready to start booing!
Even hecklers aren't immune to heckling. So go ahead, badger us, pester us, and give us the old what for! If you've really got the curmudgeonly spirit... we'll heckle you back! Doh-ho-ho-ho!
The internet brought about a golden age of heckling! Now, all we need is a computer to heckle anyone, anywhere. Well, a computer and some young whippersnapper to show us how to use it.
Did you know that
@TheMuppets
' theater is rigged with trap doors? It's true – every door that lets you in the building is a trap! Get out while you still can!!
They say no one can be in a bad mood when they're at the beach... We say: Have you met us?! We've got sand in our loafers and the sun in our eyes! Boo! Hiss! Take us back to the air conditioning!
We've been around long enough to know that some things are timeless. That's why we never bother to learn anything about fashion — if you wait long enough, even denim jackets will be back in style!
This year, we're only asking Santa for one thing on our Christmas list: All of
@TheMuppets
to move as far away from us as possible! We'd also settle for earplugs and blindfolds.
In our day, you used to write your complaints down on paper and send them to people! These days, you can just tweet them out to the entire world! Kids today have it so easy...
S: Every year during the Big Game, the commercials make me want to buy something.
W: Really? What?
S: Earplugs and a blindfold! They really put the "ad" in "BAD!" Doh-ho-ho-ho!
We've been reading the positive comments from people watching
#TheMuppetShow
on
@DisneyPlus
, and we just have one thing to say to all of you: What are you thinking?!
They say that with age, comes wisdom... and we're finally ready to share some of ours! Got a question for us? Go on, ask it! We might reply with some good advice – but we'll definitely reply with some great heckling!
Anyone who says they "can't complain" when you ask them how things are is certainly no friend of ours! If you can't figure out something to complain about, then you're just not paying attention!
This may surprise you, but when it comes to
@TheMuppets
we're optimists! We believe their best is yet to come... because everything they've done so far has been terrible. Doh-ho-ho-ho!
Have you ever played chess with a heckler? Don't do it unless you've got thick skin! We're sore losers... and we're even worse when we win! Doh-ho-ho-ho!
Sure, we heckle
@TheMuppets
because their performances are terrible, they're not funny, and they couldn't put on a good show to save their lives... but also because the chairs in that balcony are very uncomfortable!
Why haven't we retired from heckling? Well, if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life – and there's nothing we love more than haranguing, pestering, badgering, and taunting! Everything else, we can't stand!
Once a heckler, always a heckler. Eating salads are tough….. Once you get used to viewing tomatoes as projectiles instead of food, it's hard to go back!
It's a lovely day for a stroll in the park….if you don't mind being heckled. We'll be the ones heckling all you strollers. Come for the fresh air, stay for the fresh insults!
Our New Year's resolutions are the same this year as they are every year: Heckle more, boo louder, and come up with insults that are newer than
@FozzieBear
's jokes. (That last one is easy.)
You may not realize it, but it takes a lot of courage to be a heckler! Don't believe us? See if you're brave enough to say half the things we do to anybody you know!
S: Oh no, this Muppet announcement is terrible.
W: What's the Muppet announcement?
S: I have no idea, but if it involves
@TheMuppets
, it’s sure to be terrible! Doh-ho-ho-ho!
Remember: If it's not broke, don't fix it! The opposite is true for our hearing aids... if they're broke, please don't fix 'em. We don't want to hear what
@TheMuppets
are doing!
You may have heard that comedy is subjective. It's true: We've been subjected to
@FozzieBear
's comedy for decades and there's no end in sight! Doh-ho-ho-ho!
Hey, you! Yeah, you! Ever wanted to ask us some questions? Now’s your chance! Ask us whatever you want. Don’t mess it up… or we might heckle you! (Actually, we’ll do that no matter what.)
If we had our way, Twitter wouldn't have a like button. We've never had a need for it – there's hardly anything to like around here… or anywhere for that matter!
Some fans of
@TheMuppets
call us The Comeback Kings. Now we have to figure out if it's because we have great comebacks or because we keep coming back to watch The Muppets despite the agony!
If you want to be a heckler, never listen to anyone who tells you to keep your opinions to yourself. You've got a gift to share – so commence the haranguing and hurl those tomatoes!
Everybody's a critic, but only the biggest curmudgeons can be hecklers. You've got to wake up perturbed and go to bed incensed! You can't settle for road rage, you've got to get freeway fury! Forget pet peeves – you need irreconcilable indignation!
We're expert multitaskers. Who else do you know that can heckle, sneer, jeer, jab, snipe, badger, hound, pester, taunt, bully, and tease all at the same time!
When you're a heckler, you have to make sure you never wear an outfit that the comedian you're making fun of can ridicule. Like these outfits... nothing funny about them!
S: Do you hear
#Yanny
or
#Laurel
?
W: Neither! I turned my hearing aid off.
S: What?
W: I turned my hearing aid off.
S: What? I can’t hear you, I turned my hearing aid off.
W: You can say that again,

Happy Thanksgiving! Getting together for the holiday is tough on curmudgeons, so remember the sooner you eat, the sooner you can take a nap in front of the TV!
No one holds a grudge like the two of us. Years ago, we had a disagreement with our neighbors. Haven’t talked to them in years… and boy are they grateful.
S: Well, it's another new year, Waldorf.
W: 2020... can you believe it?
S: Hardly! Did you ever think we'd see it?
W: Nope... and now that I have, I wish I hadn't! Doh-ho-ho-ho!
As a curmudgeon, sometimes the greatest gift you can give is keeping quiet and not criticizing.
...Unfortunately, we're not that generous! We're the gift that keeps on giving, like it or not.
Halloween is a great time for hecklers like us. Usually when we shout "Boo!" folks get mad at us — now they just think we're in the holiday spirit! Boooooo!!!
S: I'm sick of 2018! Bring on the new year!
W: How is that different from any other year?
S: Well... this year I have Twitter and can complain about it to thousands of people!
W: The future really IS amazing!
