    Is that Marlon Brando the Hut from the Peter Serafinowicz Sketch?

       It’s Kim Schmitz a.k.a. “Dr. Kimble” the Hut from another Playboy Wimmelbild about a Formula 1 paddock.

    Greedo and Han, E.T, Stormtroopers, Sideshow Bob, Krusty the Klown, Mr. Slave (or just some guy in bondage gear) Homer, Marge, Maggie, Bart and Lisa, The Wolf Man, Gandalf the Grey, Steve Jobs, Indiana Jones… I love Waldo Stylez.

    Guess E.T., King Kong?, and what appears to be an Ewok are not considered ‘celebs’, however recognizable they may be.  The Simpsons are very easy to find.  It’s hard to hide blue hair.

    Is Miss Piggy just holding Kermit down, or sitting on his face?  And what’s that in her hand?  It’s not a stein of beer.

    Anyone know what or who the all blue characters are?

    I’ve wanted to attend Oktoberfest in Germany for many years, and hear one of the a capella contests.  Until that day…. Happy Oktoberfest, ya’ll!

      “Is Miss Piggy just holding Kermit down, or sitting on his face?”
      Must it be one or the other?  Goddamn that Kermit is kinky.  As much as he may pretend not to be…

        Kermit gets the blues.  No anti-depressants for frogs.  Frogs gotta make do, endophin-wise, I guess.

        Here’s Kermit singing with blues master, Ray Charles:

    The perspective’s all wrong. He was obviously drunk when he did this.

    Don’t go to Oktoberfest! Meine Güte. There are so many better minor, middling and who cares celebrations that don’t involve the CSU and 9.5-euro beers.
