The Muppet Christmas Carol
“Statler and Waldorf were dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of their burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Michael Caine signed it: and Michael Caine’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Statler and Waldorf were as dead as a door-nail.”
