A new hilarious TV spot for Muppets Most Wanted sends up awards season with Twitter hashtag raves.
As Awards season begins consuming all advertising with critical gushes about “the best movies of the year” (even we are not above such rankings), the Muppets are prepared to do what they do best: mock pop culture in cleverly satirical one-liners.
In the new “Across the Internet” TV spot, Muppets Most Wanted showcases the glowing reviews their still unseen sequel to the 2011 reboot has received on Twitter from such prestigious voices as @FuzzyBen4375 and @PoppaFreshness.
Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid, Dublin and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit the Frog—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.
Muppets Most Wanted hits the big screen March 21, 2014.
