I saw the Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image this weekend, and this commercial was my favorite part of the whole thing.

I think this inspired “Macho Man” Randy Savage’s appearances in Slim Jim commercials.

I’m not sure if I love this more for being a Jim Henson-created commercial, or for reminding me of Pete’s Dragon. Either...

Jim Henson’s commercials were steeped in violence.

I just love how violent the characters are in the early commercial work of Jim Henson.

"One of the few essential podcasts... It's personal comedy wrapped (in a way that is both apt and unlikely) inside the spirit of a variety show. Her literate sensibility and affection for showmanship are reminders of an era when 'nerd' connoted smart more than obsessive."
