Pink Packages

Tom and I have been working our way through The Muppet Show DVDs via Netflix.  The puns, the celebrities, the absurd animal combos; this show really has it all.  What we didn’t realize was that The Muppet Show was also the go-to program for penises silhouetted in pink polyester.  Elton John and Lou Rawls both dress left.  Did you know?  The pictures below are stills from the Youtube videos, so the quality is not so good.  You can check out the full version of Groovy People by clicking here and the full version, with Miss Piggy accompanying, of Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart here..  If you do happen to watch the Elton John clip, please keep in mind that Miss Piggy’s puppeteer is kneeling precariously close to the bottom half of that jumpsuit.  I had never considered the awkward position that the dancing scenes put them in before.  I was unable to think about anything other than Elton’s shrink wrapped penis, so it finally dawned on me that if a muppet is in close, so is the person giving that muppet personality.
