What’s the first thing you think of when you think of The Muppets on Blu-ray? It’s paper towels, right? Of course it is. That’s why it makes perfect sense that Bounty is the sponsor for a series of brand-new web videos called Kermit’s Party. They serve the dual purpose of reminding you that the movie is available for purchase and that if you spill your Dr Pepper while you’re watching the movie, you can use Bounty paper towels (with “TRAP-AND-LOCK technology,” which sounds kinda scary) to wipe it up.
First, Kermit introduces us to his party’s caterer (Guess who?):
Wow, look at all those monsters! I want to go to that party. Next, Gonzo does a party trick:
I don’t know what that penguin was trying to say, but I predict somebody will comment that it sounds like he’s saying The S-Word. Finally, Bunsen and Beaker present their newest invention:
Okay, so that last one was a little anti-climactic. But I have to say: These are really effective ads. I’m going to go out and buy a copy of Bounty Paper Towels on Blu-ray right away!
Thanks to Tough Pigs’ own Brad for the alert! Click here to wonder whether any Eric Jacobson characters were invited to that party on the Tough Pigs forum!
