That's not working anymore, either. oh well, someone go out there and tape this, eh?

So, this leads me to a related question, which I believe I will post on its own thread. (See Muppet related thread to appear soon)

Really? Still working for me.

We'll be sure to bring our camera.

Worked okay for me too. I don't know of a way to save the video when it is a Flash video, otherwise I would do so.

It works for me now, but did not before.

If he hadn't pulled it together enough to make the excuse about his lunch spilling inside "the egg," that would have been a rather frightening thing to witness.

When Dr. Honeydew just went silent for a few minutes, it was uncomfortable enough. But when he and Beaker broke into Heigh-Ho, it was like madness had taken them.

The whole thing kinda left me queasy.

btw, when was that filmed? Um, if anytime recently .... I wouldn't expect Dr. Bunsen Honeydew back in the park on Sunday. He might frighten guests on a day when guests might actually be there.

Kinda cool, kinda creepy (asmimo), but also kinda boring - you'd think they could come up with a better routine.

Looks cool. I want to run up to see it but Madzer has a friend over so depends on what time she leaves tomorrow if we make it up or not.

Haha... things you don't expect to hear from a muppet:

"I'm going to have to administer some punishment to both of you." - Dr. Bunsen Honeydew

Saw them twice today. Very, very smooth. No breakdowns, only one millisecond audio glitch. They rolled all the way to Sunshine Plaza for the morning show. Bunsen was funny and quick with good responses to random questions. Beaker is just so cute, right down to his argyle socks.

Movie and pics

Observations:

Bunsen is controlled by a puppeteer in a building somewhere. His vision is not perfect and he sometimes gets disoriented. If you're right in front of him however he can see you fine. He did call out things to people as he drove past so he does have side cams. You could see the cams on the vehicle.
By the second show we could tell that Beaker is prerecorded noises/movements that the puppeteer triggers. Same goes for the "experiments", or bits, that they perform. The timing wasn't perfect on some of that but it was close.
Bunsen stalled a few times while obviously searching for the right button to push. I'd say it was something that takes practice and that after a while the filler would go unnoticed.
Bunsen's voice was spot on and even the character seemed well done to me.
The gags written on the vehicle were also Muppet style and continued to elicit giggles as he rotated around.

We really enjoyed it. Quite the good sign of audio-animatronic things to come.

The only downside was an obnoxious person from another message board who stole a moment to advertise his board.

Let me say that when Bunsen called it LaughingStock I thought he was right on.
