Analysis of Muppet Show Skit

Like I continue to say, they put truth in plain sight,

and truth is stranger than

fiction. Muppets, 1978. Pay attention.

Hey, quiet, quiet. It wasn't spooky like this

when Julie Andrews did the show.

Let's see. What's next? William Tell act. William Tell act on stage, you guys.

Come on. Move it, move it, move it.

Y- y- y- don't shout. It makes me n- n- nervous.

Okay. Way to go, Alice.

Oh, thank you, Kermit.

Oh, it must be great to be a rock star.

Oh, would you like to be a rock star?

Uh, well, well, uh, yeah, sure, sure. Love to be a rock star.

Well, then just sign this contract.

Contract?

Uh, yes. I have a friend that runs a service.

He could guarantee to make you a rock star.

Uh, yeah, well, uh, when I, when I said I wanted to be a rock star,

I was just sort

of half kidding. I mean, oh, I, I'd like to be an astronaut, too.

Well, then just cross out the word rock star

and write in astronaut.

I don't think I want anything to do with this.

Well, looks like you're stuck with it, doesn't it?

Just read it over anyways.

You must be kidding. Why, how can he guarantee that?

And what must it cost?

Ah, ha, ha,

ha, ha. Not a penny, just your soul.

Ouch.

I- I- I'm sure I didn't hear that correctly.

Ouch.

But that I heard.

You just can't move when I'm shooting.

I've told you that a thousand times.

Well, you know me, in one ear and out the other.

Weird, weird show.

1978, I wasn't even born yet,

but they were putting it right in your face, truth in plain sight.

You live in a land of confusion, and they use your gullibility

and trust against

you. It's unfortunate, but this is just the way this reality functions

in these days. That's why there's so much chaos

and such a lack of love.

Spread love, be love, one love, divine God sees all. It's wake-up time.
