The internets can be a cruel place. Certainly no place for a meek Muppet. Following their largely successful interpretation of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the Muppets Studio channel on Youtube has released another classic. This time around, perpetually victimized Beaker expresses himself in song (“Dust in the Wind” by Kansas) and is mocked by overlay annotations from snarky and downright mean internet users. In typical Beaker fashion, he freaks out and catches fire. Never change, Beaker, never change.

If you have any crazy sexy cool videos of your own, share them with us and we’ll consider them for future installments of Video of the Week!
