    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Red Dead Redemption 2:

    Waldorf: I think this game teaches people a valuable lesson.
    Statler: Yeah, that years of trust can be broken within a matter of months when you let an adult version of Dennis the Menace into your group.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Willy's Wonderland:

    Statler: Is this supposed to be that Five Nights At Freddy's hoopla the kids have been talking about?
    Waldorf: Well, they certainly won't last one night with Nicholas Cage.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on The Thirteenth Year:

    Waldorf: Have I said that this film was written by wet bandits?
    Statler: I don't know, that sounds a bit fishy to me.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Big Time Rush:

    Statler: This show is fantastic!
    Waldorf: Yeah, how about that boyband the main characters are in?
    Statler: Well, make it into a manly tire and drive it to Pittsburgh.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Good Lord, it's hot over here. I am definitely not built for temperatures over 20 degrees Celsius. 🥵

    It's 33 Celcius where I live (91.4 F for all you americans) and i'm (mostly) fine. It's crazy how people from different places are used to very different tempatures

    It's been about 32 celsius (or 90 F) the last week or so and I've been okay, however the humidity has been tough. But yeah, depending on where you're from, you can have very different reactions to different temperatures.

    @June I'm from the Netherlands, and usually the temperatures here range from anywhere between 10 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius. I'm warm blooded, and I can't really handle temperatures higher than 20 degrees Celsius as a result.

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Beverly Hillbillies:

    Waldorf: Aah, this one was a favorite of mine back in the day! Always loved those backwoods folks moving into the rich neighborhoods of Los Angeles and spreading the good ol' Southern charm!
    Statler: I agree. I just hope they won't Yankovic those responsible for the show.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Super Mario Sunshine:

    Statler: Nintendo's really trying to be the Sunshine in the Mario fandom's lives, aren't they?
    Waldorf: Well, they're not doing a good job at it, 'cause I'm feeling in my water that the Mario fandom isn't impressed.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Full House:

    Waldorf: Aah, I can't get enough of the "widowed father raising three kids" trope of sitcoms. Those always play their cards well.
    Statler: Not well enough, I'd say. I've yet to see this show and its sequel play a Royal Flush.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Star Wars: The Acolyte:

    Waldorf: Here, catch! (Throws a life ring off the balcony)
    Statler: Ah, waste of time. Nothing will save this show.

    Hohohohohohoho!
    Alex Parkinson
    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air:

    Waldorf: This show is the perfect mix of African-American hip-hop culture and upper class Californian culture. It's a cocktail that's sure to hit your tastebuds.
    Statler: Yeah, and it's sure to hit you in the face like a Smith hitting a Rock.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Sonic and the Black Knight:

    Statler: So that blue hedgehog has taken up the sword, huh?
    Waldorf: Well, it was only a matter of time before Sega realised that they had to sort out their problems with the story over gameplay branch of their fanbase.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Kermit's Swamp Years:

    Waldorf: Aah, nothing like the good old days when we were young and that silly frog wasn't running The Muppet Show.
    Statler: Yeah. Wish we could go back in time to convince the frog to never start The Muppet Show.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    (Kermit peeks out from between Waldorf and Statler's seats)

    Kermit: Don't count on it.
    Waldorf: Hey, can we see your ticket, fella?

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Disney's The Sword In The Stone:

    Statler: Hey, wake up, you old fool! You slept through the film!
    Waldorf: Who's a fool? You watched it.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Nostalgia Critic:

    Statler: You know, I honestly see ourselves in this Nostalgia Critic fellow.
    Waldorf: Yeah, 'cause watching The Muppet Show every night is bound to drive us crazy like all of the terrible movies this guy has watched.
    Statler: Yeah, so I'm glad he'll remember those movies so we won't have to.
    Waldorf: Which movies?
    Statler: I forgot.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on How I Met Your Mother:

    Waldorf: Why did it take that fool Ted Mosby nine seasons to tell his kids how he met their mother?
    Statler: Because it's nine impossible to recover from a series finale as bad as this show had.

    Hohohohohohoho!
    Alex Parkinson
    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on SuperMarioLogan:

    Waldorf: This show is like if you took The Happytime Murders and made it into a YouTube channel.
    Statler: I should say so. Personally, I don't care for puppets much. I don't find them believable.
    Waldorf: I don't believe you.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on The High Fructose Adventures of the Annoying Orange:

    Statler: Just when you think internet culture couldn't get any cruder, this show comes along and proves us wrong!
    Waldorf: Well, the creator of this show was always a bit fruity.

    Hohohohohohoho!

    I've seen other Wiki users writing 'Shroom sections under a pen name/persona, such as Edofenrir writing Monthly Inquisition for Fake News under the persona of Koohitsu. I've been thinking of doing the same thing for a future 'Shroom section, with said persona being an Australian character as a tribute being a tribute to former Critic Corner director, Crocodile Dippy. But at the same time, I'm unsure if I should go through with the idea because I also feel that having a 'Shroom persona based on Dippy's persona could be considered insensitive towards Dippy and the legacy she left behind. What do you guys think I should do?

    Clawgrip, I've noticed you been posting questions and thoughts about Dippy lately. Honestly, I overlapped with her very little, so I can't speak to this very well, but I do think there's a little context you should have. You'll have to pardon my vagueness, but, one, I can't speak to it in detail, and, two, there are no good reasons to dredge up particulars because this is long in the past now.


    There were good things that Dippy contributed to the community, yes, but her relationships with many community members were often more strained behind the scenes than they appeared. It's not my place to delve into the specifics, as it may not be a topic those who were affected want to be reminded of or that they want to speak on publicly, but she was oftentimes temperamental and volatile in how she approached people, sometimes extreme in her demands and behaviors, even. She insulted a number of community members, her disparagement of others reaching a point that couldn't be tolerated.

    I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with you adopting an Australian persona for a 'Shroom section or anything else, and it's your decision as to how you would want to frame and approach that, but you should at least have this additional context on Dippy before you make those decisions.

    @Hooded Pitohui Huh. I never knew that about Dippy. Thanks for clearing that up for me, Pito. It's given me new insight into my decisions on the creation of a new persona for a 'Shroom section.

    Waldorf and Statler (The Muppet Show) on Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory:

    Statler: That movie was great! Fantastic! That Willy Wonka really showed those spoiled brats humility and showed Charlie he's got great worth!
    Waldorf: Nah, I didn't like it. That Grandpa Joe is pulling some disability fraud scheme, and Wonka could've just ran out onto the street and given Charlie some money and candy.
    Statler: Ah, what would you know, you old fool?
    Waldorf: Don't call me an old fool, or I'll give you the evil eye.
    Statler: Oh, I'm scared, I'm scared. (He gets a stroke from Waldorf's evil eye)
    Waldorf: I warned him.
    Alex Parkinson
    Don't you just love people who go snooping through your Facebook photos so they can judge you whenever you say anything on Facebook? Don't you just ever feel like those people should really get a life?
