Why Elmo hasn’t been on the Daily Show, I don’t know – maybe they’re holding out for Big Bird – but his appearance on Jimmy Fallon was pretty awesome: Come to think of it, maybe Elmo isn’t a good fit for the Daily Show. Maybe Elmo’s more of a Colbert guy. Hard to say. In [...]
Bad Moms Love Repurposed Toys
By on February 4, 2011 Leave a Comment
I spent too many minutes trying to find a better way to describe the following Etsy shop, but the store name pretty much says it best: Franken Toys. Taking “Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose” to the awesome extreme, Ontario based artist [and fellow Canadian, holla!] Rachel Peters ‘rescues’ toys and bring them back to a life they [...]
Bad Moms Love The Monster Your Monster Could Smell Like
By on October 11, 2010 Leave a CommentHappy Thanksgiving my fellow Canadians. I know that it seems ridiculous to our American friends to have Turkey Day before Hallowe’en, but you know Canadians: we like to be different. Speaking of different, have you seen this version of the now infamous Old Spice commercial? That’s right, it’s Grover as the Old Spice guy and [...]

I’d like to say that this – a SEXY ELMO COSTUME – is not a sign of imminent Apocalypse, but I fear that I’d be wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. Source; HT @thatericalper

I dare you to not feel uplifted after watching this. I also dare you to not tap your toes. I’m not going to dare you to not get a little weepy, because that’s probably just me.
This Week In Muppets: Puppet Relations
By on August 27, 2010 5 Comments
The Muppets make me happy, just purely and simply happy. Growing up with them has provided me with many a happy television-related memory, and in the pop culture museum of my heart they are placed alongside treasures like Charlie’s Angels, The Bionic Woman, Donny & Marie, and Land of the Lost. But the Muppets and [...]
Bad Moms Love Mad Men, And Muppets, And… Well…
By on July 27, 2010 1 Comment
Did you watch the premiere of the new season of Mad Men the other night? Did you drink a martini while you watched? Did you find yourself wondering what it would look like if Jim Henson had done Mad Men? Were you drunk when you imagined that? Does it matter? Why are we still even [...]
Bad Moms Culinary Corner: Pop Goes The Swedish Chef
By on July 19, 2010 Leave a Comment
Who needs the Food Network’s Bobby Flay, Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, or Gordon Ramsay when there is the Swedish Chef? Everything I learned about the kitchen I learned from Swedish Chef which probably explains why no one will let me into their kitchen. My evil plan to never be responsible for feeding anyone anything that [...]
Fight With Me, Sesame! Sesame Street Gang Gone Wild
By on May 26, 2010 Leave a Comment
Sesame Street has changed since it first hit the airwaves back in 1969. It had to evolve with the changing times and audience — it’s the only way a show like Sesame Street, however amazing, could survive this long. (If you ask me, though, the Muppets will always be universally cool and you can’t tell [...]
If The Muppets And The Dharma Initiative Joined Forces…

… and attacked the Lost production team, it would be so many light years beyond awesome that you could probably launch yourself into an alternate parallel universe just thinking about it. (Don’t try that at home, though. At least, not without supervision of a physicist and maybe also a Time Lord.) This is just so [...]
More Cupcakes! Now With Less Double Entendre!

Because you probably need to cleanse your visual palette after yesterday’s episode of cupcake-oversharing, lest you never eat cupcakes again — and also because, MUPPETS! — we offer you this: . . . . Don’t take the Animal one. That one’s mine. source
This Week In Muppets: Big Mean Carl’s Feel-Good Easter Edition
By on April 1, 2010 2 Comments
I know, I know: when are the Muppets not feel-good? But really – take two parts Muppets and one part sappy song and one part big mean monster and a smidge of crazy back-up singers and mix them together in a big Henson blender and you get the video that follows, which will make you [...]
