This ad strategy of the puppet telling people what to do
never really worked for me. I mean, it’s green, signifying money, I guess, but
then all the Muppets were odd colors for humans anyway, so the puppet being
green doesn’t really stand out that much for that reason.
And here we have a woman who takes a day off of work to try
to get a mortgage, and she finds someone in her house, who tells her she didn’t
have to take a day off from work (!!!). Well, I think it’s good that she did,
because had she not, this puppet would have robbed her house and invited in all
the neighborhood rabid raccoons so she wouldn’t notice her house had been
robbed until he was long gone! At least this way she gets to head off the
robbery and call the cops to rid her of the puppet and rabid raccoon.
And all jokes aside, why did the puppet let the rabid
raccoon into her house? Just to punish her for not knowing to use Lending Tree?
(He says he followed it in, which suggests he could have pulled it out instead
of following it in. But it seems to me he probably trapped it and pushed it
through her doggy door. After all, puppets are immune to rabies.) Or maybe it’s
just that if you ever try to use Lending Tree that puppet will have rabid wild
animals attack you because the company fired him and he’s still mad or
something. And why didn’t her dog bark at the raccoon? (She has a doggy door
that is not locked, so…) My guess is the puppet killed her dog, and now it’s
going to kill her so she can’t rat (or raccoon) him out.
Here’s the puppet piece:
