The thing is. I would eat the grapes. I would eat the pomegranate seeds. I would eat the Turkish delights. It doesn’t matter what the stakes are if you put a little plate of snacks out in front of me I’ll eat them.

This is brilliant. I would love to see a show where the Muppets try and fail to reproduce every terrible show from the last ten years.
I have more.
Fail’s Kitchen: The Muppets try to rip off Gordon Ramsey with a kitchen challenge show, but due to a fundamental misunderstanding, they all take turns spewing vitriolic insults at the human chef who’s the ostensible star. Piggy is the favorite to win, but surprisingly it’s Fozzie who taps into his long-repressed hostilities and drives the chef to tears.
The Mupping Dead: Zombie drama where the human stars turn into Muppets when they die. The first half (before anyone dies) has humans playing the roles of Kermit and Piggy and everyone, in character, so it’s kind of an excuse to give them official “human” designs.
Intellectual Property Brothers: Kermit and Fozzie, once again in the role of identical twins, help inordinately wealthy young couples buy intellectual properties that no one wants. The third segment brings the awkward situation of trying to talk the final couple out of buying The Muppets.
Game of Toads: The Muppets try to do an oversexed fantasy series. They are filthy. They try to play out romantic scenes while crusted in dirt and dried mud and manure. This episode is played out with “retired” puppets, too old to otherwise use on camera anymore, who may even get more damaged on camera.
Drag Race: What @clown-manifestation wrote above, but they roll with it and becomes about dressing cars up in drag, putting them in dresses and eyeliner. These are not Muppet cars, they’re actual vehicles. Gonzo has the prodigal ability to determine a car’s gender identity through a verbal interview, and he pronounces most of the cars already female, and the one pickup truck is entirely sexless— “it’s a truck, Kermit. It’s not a he or a she.”
I just had an Idea for a New Muppet Show! Everyone, file into the Gymnasium with your Business Buddy-
So, this show is, Essentially, What Disney has been trying to do with the Muppets as of Late! This show is a compilation of Every Single Failed Pilot for a Muppet Show that COULD have happened, but never did because it did very Poorly with Focus Groups. Every show Pilot is an Obvious Rip off of some pre-Successful show that Executives Insist they Copy to a T for Immediate Success! (More Below!)

Some of the great things about sand:
Its velvety smooth texture
Its natural refinement
Its soothing qualities
The ease of cleanup

Please do an episode on the Christmas special of He-Man where they talk about Jesus’ birth.
That’s a little outside the wheelhouse of the podcast, since we usually do comic strip specials, but we could have a special Special where we talk about other specials!

Cyber Monday Double Feature!
The Special Presentation vidcast is back, with one of the most highly anticipated episodes: Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue! Watch and listen as the 80s fizzle to a close right before your eyes in a world that had only just discovered The Simpsons.
But that’s not all!

It’s Riff Time! In today’s podcast, The Hungry Reader talks about an early attempt at riffing this childhood classic with longtime friend Pullahoko. For this special occasion, we’ve put together a best-of montage, which thoughtfully excises South Park references, R-words and anything else that was too 2009.

This frustrates me so much. This is supposed to be the Scarecrow of Oz— but there’s already a pumpkin headed guy in Oz! Did they merge somehow??
Scarecrow from Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.

Today is a special day because we have TWO Special Presentation vidcasts to share with you! First up we’ve got It’s An Adventure, Charlie Brown, featuring the story where Charlie Brown basically reinvents himself as a cool guy when he goes to college in a different state, “Sack”! Then Peppermint Patty has a religious experience, and Snoopy transforms into a helicopter... kind of a lot goes on in this one. This episode also features Mike and Ethan’s rumination on Transformers BotBots and the opportunity to meet their appliance-sonas!
youtube
But we’re not done yet-- Mike and Ethan’s Halloween Special is here, and it’s extra special because it contains a special! It’s Garfield’s Halloween Adventure, also known as Garfield In Disguise. In keeping with this hallowed day, this podcast contains live commentary on the special-- and since that wouldn’t make any sense without the special itself, we’ve included that too, with vintage commercials and all the trimmings! Then stay tuned for our tribute to our favorite and least-favorite Halloween specials, and the revelation that Paul Lynde was actually a cartoon goat.
A Special Presentation: or, ALF Will Not Be Seen Tonight can be heard in podcast form weekly, usually on Mondays, right here! We’re on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and so many others, you’ll surely have a way to listen on your commute! The vidcast version of each podcast goes up about a week or two later, so subscribe to ME, The Hungry Reader, to get them!

What if I did a sci-fi story where at the end the science went away?
Gravity becomes arbitrary
The laws of averages freeze in place, so every coin always comes up tails
Fire and electricity come and go at random, seemingly at the will of inscrutable sky gods.
Cause and effect become decoupled, and so do stimulus and response, which means that even though things have changed, the change hasn’t caused anyone to react.
In this chaotic world where nothing is certain, only a small number of people find that they have scientific powers, which is why they get invited to the mysterious School For Scientists known as the “Massachusetts Institute of Technology”
fantasy author: the story ends with the magic going away forever. don’t you find it sad and poetic? please give me a pulitzer or at least a hugo
me: this is very dumb. I hate you. bring back the wizards

The video version of Special Presentation or Alf Will Not Be Seen Tonight is here! This week we’re looking at the first Cathy special, cleverly titled Cathy! Is it true that one of the most maligned strips on the funny pages could be improved by making it queerer? Find out here!

I love the aesthetics of books, bookstores and libraries and a lot of books were very special to me growing up but after that shit Marie Kondo got for a PERCEIVED insult to the book gods I absolutely cannot stand those people who get as protective of books as they would of a living breathing organism. They are mass produced consumer products. It shouldn’t WOUND YOUR SOUL to see a book thrown out or damaged unless it’s literally the only copy in the world.

THR and Mike are back with an all new venture!
We’re proud to present the first episode of our all new podcast, about an all-old subject: animated adaptions of comic strips.

https://anchor.fm/a-special-presentation/episodes/A-Special-Presentation-1-Marvin-e55t6a/a-am2hvf
Our first episode is Marvin: Baby Of The Year, featuring Marvin, the longest-lived Garfield ripoff.
Stay to the end for Mike’s flabbergasted reaction to the death of Mell Lazarus’s Momma!

The Nonbinary Bunny by Maia Kobabe
(with deep respect for Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd)
Once there was a little bunny who realized e was nonbinary. So e said to eir mother, “I am not a boy bunny or a girl bunny.“
“I love you, but I don’t understand,” sair eir mother
“Male and female bleed into each other like day and night,” said the little bunny. “There is space between them for sunrise and sunsets.“
"I’ve always thought of male and female like land and water,” said eir mother. “Separate.“
“If they were, then I would be a frog, who lives half in and half out of both,” said the little bunny.
"I’ve always seen female and male as light and shade,“ said eir mother. “Divided.”
"If they were, then I would be a cat, who lies half in and out of the sun,“ said the little bunny.
“I’ve always believed that male and female were like two trees,” said eir mother. “Distinct.”
"Then I would be a bird who flies back and forth between both,“ said the little bunny.
“Whether you are a sunrise, or a frog, or a cat, or a bird, I am still your mother. I will support you wherever you go,” said the mother bunny. “I love you.”
"I love you too,“ said the little bunny.
This story is a loving remake of “The Runaway Bunny” (1942) written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd. This version was written and illustrated by Maia Kobabe: instagram / patreon / portfolio / the nib / etsy
