Legendary director’s spicy Muppets parody makes R-rated look tame

Meet the Feebles 1989

The Feebles are a parody of the Muppets. They have a variety show, they sing and dance, but unlike the Muppets, they also do hard drugs and film explicit content in their basement. Did you think I was kidding?

There’s a reason the film is still banned in Ireland.

It’s hard to decide whether the puppet aspect of Meet the Feebles makes it more or less disturbing. On the one hand, violence against felt and foam rubber is not as gruesome as violence against flesh and blood. On the other hand, the average moviegoer has seen blood gushing from fake bullet wounds more times than he can count.

Realistic blood oozing out of a doll? That leaves a mark on your psyche forever.
