If You Can't Say Anything Nice (Statler, Waldorf | G | 1,250 words): The reason why Statler and Waldorf heckle The Muppet Show every night. This is silly and fun, just like the Muppets.
Excerpt:
Fifteen minutes later, Waldorf popped the last of the pastries into his mouth. "Shall we?"
"Might as well get this over with," Statler grumbled. "Maybe we'll be able to catch up on our sleep."
They succumbed to the inevitable and slid into their seats as the curtain rose. Over the first few acts, they progressed from raised eyebrows to muttered comments to an unrestrained commentary on the show. People around them tried to shush them, but it wasn't until the beginning of the fourth act that things went to pot.
