So I didn't notice this in the entry thread, since they weren't physically together, but major props to @the G-man for managing to enter two different characters in the exact same pose! I can only imagine how long that took to find!

That was a happy coincidence when searching for character images but once I noticed it, how could I not use enter those pics? (I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Muppets weren't intentionally channeling Ted).

Oh, damn -- I missed entry. I had three options in mind. Bill McNeal from "Newsradio", Norm MacDonald and "The Fake News", even Murray from "Groundhog Day".

I was going to ask if Cotton and Pepper from Dodgeball, could be used. My favorite sports announcers.
I think the movie is old enough that it needs no spoiler code.
