HELLO, TINY FUPPETS! OK, good. Now that we have met the Tiny Fuppets and are friends with them, it is time for an adventure. Please to see Tiny Fuppets: Internet Follies:

GOOD ADVENTURE! If only the creator of the Tiny Fuppets would finally SPEAK UP!

If I can be permitted to put my Blog Hat on for a second, I’d be remiss to not tell you that the most cursory Google search for Tiny Fuppets reveals that a couple of these videos already made the rounds in 2009, AND that they were created by Scott Gairdner, a Funny or Die person. But guess what? FUCK BLOG HATS, WE ALL LOVE TINY FUPPETS! HELLO BUDDIES! (Via JonDaly.)

  1. I love you, Tiny Fuppets.

  2. I really wanna watch these, but I really need to stop sugarfooting and use my alphapanel and select-orb to make words come up on the viewsquare or I’m gonna get fired and be stuck in a squallid house like Kormit and the mean one.

  3. This seems like a perfect time to bring up the investment potential of my brand new company: “Strictly Babies.”

    Basically, Strictly Babies© does baby versions of the things you love. Muppet Babies, James Bond Jr., Littlest Hobo – Well that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

    We make to order. Cheers Babies? We’ll do it. Friends Babies? We’ll do it. Seinfeld Babies? You get the picture.

    And does it have to be grown up things? No! That’s our Mission Statement: Nothing is too young for Strictly Babies. (We had to buy that trademarked slogan from Nambla – worth every penny!)

    Muppet Babies Babies??? Absolutely. MiniSmurfs? Yup. Baby Geniuses: Episode 1? Oh, that’s a Strictly Babyin’.

    (I know this is unrelated, but I love the tiny fuppets already and have nothing to add otherwise)

  4. I’m worried about Jim Fenson, you guys. For multiple reasons.

  5. my favorite episode is when the Tiny Fuppet re-enact 9/11.

  6. As I rule, I hate “funny” or ironic t-shirts. Imagine the internal consternation involved now that I really want a Gonzor shirt. I really do.

  7. I grow tired of asking this, so it is the last time: WHERE is the You Get to Make Up the Story fantasy hour feature? I was looking forward to reading this today.

      Then bam, 3-4 weeks, and you’ll have your Party Down Babies.

  13. Hey, did you see this old Tiny Fuppets cereal commercial? This isn’t spam, promise.

    • My battle with the inevitable is also a losing one. Also, I congratulate the person who created a youtube account and then uploaded OTHER real brazilian/portuguese commercials to lend the whole enterprise verisimilitude. Good work, everyone!

  15. HEY GUYS! It helps a lot to know that the thing Tiny Fuppets is parodying, (wikipedia article here), is a totally real thing that is not a joke. Well, not a joke on purpose.

    See, for example the trailer for The Tiny Cars, The Tiny Panda Fighter, and Ratatoing (sic?!). Seriously, click and watch them.

    Incidentally, the difference between the actual Vídeo Brinquedo films and the FunnyOrDie parodies corresponds really well to the distinction that Susan Sontag draws between “naive” or “pure camp” and “self-conscious camp,” in her 1965 essay “Notes on Camp.” Not to say that one is better or funnier than the other! But they are funny in profoundly different ways. In summary, LOOK AT ME I WENT TO GRAD SCHOOL.

  16. I’ve been trying to leave a comment here for the past three days, but… maybe I’ve been banned from commenting? Or something? In any case, the important thing to know is that Tiny Fuppets is in fact a parody of something very specific, and very real, and very not-a-joke: the movies of Brazilian knock-off artist Vídeo Brinquedo. Previous attempts at typing this comment have included specific youtube links to particular Video Brinquedo movie trailers, and a consideration of the different quality of humor in the “originals” and the FunnyOrDie parodies, using the framework of Susan Sontag’s “Notes on Camp.” But I am too tried to type that same comment for the twelfth time. I very much doubt that this comment will get posted either.

    In any case, if anyone sees this, posted as it is many days late, google “Vídeo Brinquedo” and acquire a more complete understanding of the Tiny Fuppets. The end.
