So I’ve barely had time to breathe between writing the recap for the last big Muppet event and prepping for the next one, but @sokdrawer.bsky.social has put together a beautiful video celebrating some of the big and small moments that ToughPigs has been a part of. It’s worth watching!

Huh, I thought it was a nod to the “Baby Face” number from The Muppets Go Hollywood. But yeah, I think she gets carried onstage in both!

So the day has finally arrived. Happy 25th anniversary to the website that I am incredibly, ridiculously proud to call home, ToughPigs. The folks that help bring this magic to life every day truly are my found family, and I cherish having each of them in my life.

Absolutely the old-time baseball remote, but I’ve always loved when he took over the Universal Studios tour. (The video’s in English, it just has Turkish subtitles.)

Please don’t be embarrassed. You keep the flame alive. So what if he doesn’t want to talk about it? We do, because the movie still means a lot to us. You continually find us new ways to get excited about it. You should be proud of the work you’ve done. It means a lot.
