Melissa McCarthy’s New Flick Is Full Of Drugs, Action & Thirsty Puppets

Earlier this year we copped a line of custom made dildos inspired by the apparently sexy fish man from The Shape of Water. Now, we have thirsty Muppets doing it and snorting ecstasy in Melissa McCarthy’s new flick The Happytime Murders. 

Ah, sweet childhood memories of Sesame Street, it’s time to say goodbye.

McCarthy plays the role of one Connie Edwards, a cop who reluctantly gets paired up with a puppet private detective. The extremely wild plot is that somewhere in Los Angeles – the place where humans and puppets co-exist – a serial killer is murdering precious retired puppets off a classic ’80s kids television show. With just a coupla (puppet) stars still alive, the dynamic duo must hurry to find the killer.

The film co-stars Maya Rudolph, Elizabeth Banks, Joel McHale, and Leslie David Baker. And the director at helm is none other than Brian Henson – the dude behind the official The Muppet Christmas, Muppet Treasure Island, Muppets From Space, and Muppets Tonight. 

Talk about going in another direction.

The trailer for McCarthy’s new flick landed overnight and really brings a whole new meaning to warm and fuzzy.

As the trailer tells us, “After 35 years of entertaining children [Brian Henson] is finally ready to reveal what goes down when kids aren’t around.” 

Cut to a puppet saying, “For 50 cents, I’ll suck your dick.” 

Enjoy:

Why, why? 

Happytime Murders will be released August 17. Don’t bring your kids.

My main takeaway from all of this? How do you kill a puppet?
