I love the fact that The Muppets make videos just for online consumption. It’s the only way it seems that we’ll get to see them – and it gives them more freedom to do short vids like this one, which is just adorable.

This video is for my Mom. This was the very first Monty Python sketch she ever saw and by the time it was over she was laughing so hard she was crying.  (It was John Cleese smacking that bird on the bottom of his shoe that was the kicker.) Whenever she was feeling down all I had to do was pull out this sketch and whatever was bothering her faded to the background. Whenever I’m missing her, as I am today on the eve of the second anniversary of her passing, I watch this and laugh until I cry.
