OCTOBER UPDATES

E. T.: THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL

E. C.: THE EXTRA CELESTIAL
Muppet Magazine #1, January 1983

There were several issues of Muppet magazine in the eighties, and almost all of them had movie parodies with their characters playing the roles, unfortunately this is the only one I can find that has high enough resolution. The other parodies of E. T. I posted last year and their trailers can be found here and here. Any scans of pages from the magazine that I can use are welcome.

Kermit playing Elliott, Fozzie and Miss Piggy as the brother and mother. Elliott left a trail of Reese's Pieces to lure the alien out of the shed where it was hiding.

Elliot fakes sickness so he could stay home from school. Gonzo is E.T.

Elliot has some kind of telepathic link with E.T., so while he was in school and E.T. was home and got drunk, his intoxication was shared with Elliot. In the movie E.T. also co-incidentally learned to read by watching Sesame Street.

Blooper: the steering wheel is on the wrong side. The artist must be British.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY

THE ADDARNS FAMILY

Every generation has a different Addams Family. It started with the New Yorker cartoons in the 40s and 50s, then the 60s TV show, the 70s Saturday Morning cartoon, the 90s movie, the 10s CGI animation, and the upcoming streaming show, MAD and Cracked parodied the 90s movie, which can be seen here. This is a parody of the sixties TV show that Cracked did in the 90s

The TV show starred Jon Astin (Gomez), Carolyn Jones (Morticia), Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester), Ted Cassidy (Lurch), Lisa Loring (Wednesday), Ken Weatherwax (Pugsley), and Marie Blake (Grandma). Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) of Silence of the Lambs had nothing to do with the show.
