'The Muppet Empire' (the Muppets/Empire Mashup You've Been Waiting for)
A brief synopsis for the hit show Empire reads like this: A hip-hop mogul must choose between his three sons who are battling for control of his multimillion-dollar company, while his ex-wife schemes to get what’s hers.
But if you replace “hip-hop mogul” with “Muppet mogul,” that pretty much describes this latest mashup from Yahoo SuperFan — The Muppet Empire.
As predictable as it is for Kermit to play Lucious Lyon and Miss Piggy to play Cookie Lyon, the Muppets that make up the rest of the Empire cast are equally unpredictable — not to mention hilarious.
The raw emotion displayed by Muppets such as Fozzie Bear and the violence on the set will leave you wanting more. And make sure to stick around for the Swedish Chef’s appearance at the end. It’s well worth it.
Empire airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Fox. The Muppets airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
