I thought this video was hilarious.
My girlfriend didn't think any of you would enjoy it.

Humor cuts a wide swath, and does not always cross cultural boundaries very well......in this case, I find myself in agreement with your GF as well. The humor escapes me. I hope that's a good sign......

I dunno what that was or what it was for but that was some really good production.

*edit* By the way, that was the Muppets song.

Very dark,.. reminds me of a Coen Bros film...
Might be better seen in context,... is it from a film?... :-?...

My tune would have been,... "Take a tip from Smokey"....
Anyone remember what film that was in?... :-?...

The Muppets popularized it, but it's actually from a Swedish film.

I'm with Paraquat on this one. I thot it was hilarious, but my idea of humor is not always mainstream (just ask my wife).

Takes all sorts to make a world. As one forum member says, if you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone".

I got a giggle out of it. Not quite hilarious but it was funny and expected.

I like that quote. It might become a facebook status today.
I was just discussing this video with a friend (or guy I know incase he takes offense to calling him a friend)
I think it's being viewed strictly at face value for what it is.
I find humor in it for several reasons:
The juxtaposition of the gravity of what's happening coupled with the levity of the muppets.
The childhood innocence paired up with the adult seriousness of the situation
To know the song one, or I, would assume they both shared a similar childhood open with possibilites and dreams and, as life would have it, they ended up on opposite sides of the spectrum in the cold, cruel reality.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.
